Spring Break is gone but staying fit and healthy is still important seeing as summer will be here in the blink of an eye.
You may have mounds school work but fitness is important too. And just because you have a lot on your plate it doesn’t that mean that you can grab the first comfortable thing you find on your way to the gym. Looking confident and sexy in your exercise clothing is just one of the steps to a healthier you.
Start at the top
A structured, body-hugging top is great for when you’re getting in shape. Racer-back tanks, like the Nike Women’s Tight Chill Legend, hug every part of your upper body while allowing you to move naturally. These are suitable for those who don’t want to show too much skin but still like to let everyone at the gym know that they are on their way to a super hot body. Find tops like these at Sports Authority for $15.
A bra you won’t want to burn
Simply rocking a sports bra to the gym should be completely acceptable. People will stare, but that will most likely be because they envy your defined abs and sexy back. Well I say, let them. With its strong fabric and a thick band, bras like this one from C9 by Champion offer great support for your boobs, big or small. They also have a racer back structure to prevent you from feeling constrained. Mix it up with reversible styles, like the ones for $13 at Target, so you’re never wearing the same thing.
Those pants make your butt look big
Before you back up that donk at the club, shape it up in form-fitting leggings. Leggings can be suitable for many occasions, so why not the gym? Strong, stretchy leggings like these from Under Armour move with your body during exercise, hold your butt in place and catch sweat in your lower half with its spandex fabric. Leggings also work for germ-a-phobes who don’t like feeling their skin against the dirty seats and mats at gym. Shop hundreds of legging styles from $20 to $40 on Amazon.
The thigh high club
If you want to show off your toned legs and thighs, ditch the pants and go for some shorts. Make your butt and legs look great in the Legato 5” Short, by Asics ($25). The style has a little length to it so that your butt cheeks don’t peek out from the bottom (trust me, it happens), and it builds a lean shape for your buttocks and thighs. The design also has a strong waistband to stay in place and stitching that wont chafe the inner thigh.
Fancy feet
Any great outfit is always finished with great footwear, and your gym look is no exception. While there is a different kind of athletic shoe for every type of exercise, the Asics Gel-260 TR is a good place to start. The shoe was voted best for all-around gym use by Shape Magazine. It offers padding in the heel and ankle that will have you ready for those quick movements at the gym. Find them for $75 on ShoeShed.com.
Whether you go for long tops or short shorts, remember that making an effort to look sexy is a step in the right direction to feeling great. Don’t take the gawking guys and girls at the gym as an offense, but instead as a salute to your hot wardrobe and even hotter bod.
