What Not to Wear (to the Gym)

Fitness and fashion.  They go together like peas and carrots.

Okay, maybe not, but I often get asked if it really matters what you wear when you are working out.

My answer is yes and no.  Let me explain.

When you are exercising, what matters most is how you feel.  Some people will feel their best in an old pair of track pants and a t-shirt, while others would rather sport the trendiest shorts and a high performance tank. 

However, you also can consider that there are technical fabrics and designs that lend themselves to different activities.  For example, if you sweat a lot during your workout, you may want to invest in gear with anti-odour properties.  If you are runner, you may find it is easier to move in a running skirt. etc.

I don't think you need to break the bank buying fitness clothing.  There are many fantastic brands in all price ranges that will get the job done.

For some people always being fashionable is very important.  For others, not so much.  It really comes down to personal choice and what works for your body and budget.

If you are still on the fence about what to wear, here are a few tips.

How to Pick the Right Fitness Club

Most of you know that I do my workouts at home.  Fitness doesn't have to cost a thing, however, many of your might feel more motivated to stay active by joining a gym.

I have also trained (and worked) at a few fitness clubs in my day and I know that choosing a club can often be overwhelming, especially for the new exerciser.

With that in mind, here are some things to think about when you are scoping out the fitness clubs in your area.

At Home vs. Fitness Club Workout

Hope you had a great weekend, friends!

I celebrated my nephew's 1st birthday with lots of cupcakes (but you are going to have to wait until later in the week for the recipe :)

This morning, I subbed my last spinning class and it was a blast!
