DRESS FOR SUCCESS January 30, 2014 As I mentioned a couple weeks ago, I’m really making an effort to alter my eating habits. In addition to that, I’m also making some significant changes to my workout routine. When I was working full-time, going to classes at FlyWheel and Core Fusion was really the easiest way for me to get in a workout during my busy weeks. They are both really amazing classes, but I need more variety and am currently focusing on certain parts of my body that those classes didn’t focus a lot of time on (I’ve started to do more strength training and it’s making a huge difference!). Now that I have the ability to work out in the middle of the day and at any time, I joined Equinox so that I could have the flexibility to take one of their classes or just hit the gym whenever I want. What’s great about Equinox is they have dozens of classes – pilates, weight training, yoga, cardio, barre classes, spin, etc. You name it, they’ve got it! Equinox also has a state of the art gym with a ton of cardio machines, weight machines and free weights so that I have the freedom to do a completely different workout every day. Now that I’ve found a routine that I love, I need to upgrade my workout wardrobe. When going to the gym, I feel like one needs to dress for success. When I’m wearing cute and comfortable clothes, I feel more confident and tend to stay longer. Is that weird? Anyway, I found some amazing performance pieces by Nike at Nordstrom that will get you out of any rut. I’ve stockpiled these capri pants (they’re my fave) and I love these animal print running shoes. You’re apparently supposed to trade in your athletic shoes after six months, and I’m way overdue!

Great picks! xo http://pinksole.com Reply Lea Anne says: January 30, 2014 at 5:37 am You’re not weird, workout clothes make the difference for sure. I also love Old Navy’s running tights for working out, the quality is surprisingly decent as well as the fit, and you cannot beat the price!

Reply Ashley says: January 30, 2014 at 8:41 am I think new or fun workout clothes making working out so much more enjoyable. I’ve heard amazing things about Flywheel and have a few friends that do it here in Atlanta. Love that titanium water bottle! Reply Shannon says: January 30, 2014 at 9:35 am Oh I am loving all these workout clothes! I’m a sucker for bright colors when it comes to what I wear for working out (on the rare occasions that happens). I’m really trying to work on my eating habits right now once that is in check I’m going to try and focus on the working out part. One thing at a time, right?!
