Fitness can often feel more like a burden than something that is actually good for both your health and your mental well being. Working up the motivation to go and workout often takes up more time than the workout actually takes. Then there’s the issue of what outfit to wear whilst doing it.

There’s no denying that having a good outfit to wear takes away the pain of working out… Well, until the next day that is. Check out some of the most useful outfits that will actually make you want to work out

Lycra

Lycra

Many people have a love/hate relationship with Lycra. It either looks good, or it doesn’t look good. Regardless of where you stand with it, lycra workout pants worn with an over sized tee can actually look good on anyone. If you’re worried about how your behind looks in the lycra, the tee hides all. Plus you are super comfy when working out.

Shoes

Pockets

Arm bands for your phone are so outdated, yet there is still the issue of where to put your phone during a workout. This problem was solved with the invention of little zip pockets on the inside lining of your workout gear. Conveniently, this is available in both men and women’s workout clothes.Very handy for not only phones, but also keys and loose change.

Headphones
