With the holidays just around the corner, many of us are starting to get into a regular fitness routine and prepare ourselves for the temptations that we face in the upcoming months.
Whether you belong to a high end private sports club, a 24-hour fitness center or get your cardio in on the treadmill in your living room, finding a look that can go from the coffee shop to the gym and then on to the market is essential for our busy lives.
Start with a good foundation.
Find a sports bra that fits well. Try them on! How will you know if it fits if you don't try it on? Look for a bra that gives you support, has a wide bottom band for support and one the is made to wick away moisture. Finding one with wide, well placed shoulder straps will make your workout all the more comfortable. Or at least as comfortable as a workout can be!
A medium activity bra like this Lilyette In Motion Active-Motion Soft Cup Sports Bra will work great for the majority of your everyday workouts.
Great workout pants are available and easy to find.
Gone are the days of hiking up men's sweats to our knees and tying the drawstring extra tight. Fitness apparel manufacturers have finally taken account of the fact that women are built differently then men. We have curves after all! A great pair of stylish workout pants will flatter your body without being too tight or too loose and perform like athletic wear all while retaining the look of a classic piece of clothing.
These Nike Perfect Fit Capris with patent Dri-Fit technology can handle your errands and your workout. Nike got it right when they designed these for women wanting performance and style. And the best part? Toss them in the laundry, in the dryer and wear them again tomorrow. They'll still look brand new, wash after wash!
Top your outfit in style.
Forget those slogan covered t-shirts in your husbands closet. The only time it's okay to wear one of those is while you are repainting the house for the fifth time. Otherwise stick to classic silhouettes in performance fabrics. If your workout is outside, make sure to dress in layers. You can always add or remove as necessary.

Don't forget your feet!

A skilled salesperson working for a reputable athletic good's store is trained to fit you into a shoe made exactly for the sport or exercise in your life.
