Find Your Workout Style

by Hannah, 24th January 2012

Have you noticed your local gym filling up this January with faces that you don't recognise? Or prehaps YOU are one of the new faces lurking about, if so you have taken on the new years resolution to get fit! Well done - we salute you but sadly the stark reality is that 30% of people who start a new fitness regime in January have given up by Feburary. Epic fail. If you don't want to be in with that percentage but your willpower is fading then you may consider upgrading your gym kit to spur you on a bit. Prehaps you had to dig deep in the wardrobe to fish out that kit you bought a few years back in another vain effort to get healthy - well times have changed and gym kit just got a bit sexy, so back away from the old joggers and boyfriend's tshirt, welcome to your new workout gear....

DANCE

Are dance classes and Zumba fitness more your desired way to get the blood pumping? Then surely the bog standard all black gym kit just isn't going to cut it! That's why we absolutley love these Reebok high tops - bringing back the old skool style, perfect for dance workout.

The Dance Capri pants from Sweatybetty are ideal for your dance style, giving you the room to move freely without restricting you, stylish and practical - what more could a girl want?

We love this Nike Flux Cropped top which is designed specifically for dance, it looks great and teamed with the above items just completes your gear - now you look the part it's time to perfect those moves!

Ahh the great outdoors, not for the faint hearted when it comes to outdoor workouts though! You need to keep warm and dry as well as burn the fat. This time of year can be tough for outdoor running so keep warm with these Nike Hyperwarm leggings, again with sweat wicking fabric to keep you dry - perfect!

Like most of us, music is a massive part of getting us to the end of our run that's why the media armband is a great little gadget. It's machine washable and lightweight, will keep your media player safe and dry - an all rounder. It also come with a keyholder and a reflective logo to increase visibility.
