My Fav Cheap and Not Cheap Workout Clothes

My “work clothes” are workout clothes, so that’s really cool! Looking through my workout wardrobe, I have a wide array of brands that I buy….Nike, Under Armour, Lululemon, Athleta, Gap, Champion (from Target), Impact Fitness, Adidas, Zumbawear, Old Navy, Marika, BCG (Academy brand), Avia, etc. I know, I know. It’s a lot, but it’s part of the job…. Truth is, I LOVE workout clothes! I would rather shop for workout clothes than anything. When my 19 year-old daughter and I go shopping, usually around the halfway point of our shopping trip, I have to make a vow to her that I won’t shop for anymore workout wear. In each store we enter, I feel the strong gravitational pull of the workout section. I’m powerless to it.

Some of my workout clothes are pricey and some are downright cheap, but, like dear children, I love them all. A couple of my “children” stand out as exceptional, so I thought I would pass along my favorite expensive and non-expensive pieces that I currently wear.

Favorite Pricey Item

Lululemon Energy Bra

$48.00

Oh my, how I love this sports bra. I’m a jumper. I love plyo and any move that is big and requires lots of power. BUT there are certain things that I want to stay put while I do these awesome power moves, ya know? This bra is fantastic for that. It also gives a nice shape without the dreaded “uniboob” look. I have several colors and love them all!

Favorite Non-Pricey Item

C9 by Champion Capri Leggings

$27.99

These fun tights are cute, comfy and launder well. No matter if I’m teaching my body sculpting or Zumba classes or running or doing yoga, I am comfortable and don’t have to worry about them riding up or down. Also, they look and feel much more expensive than they are. Such a win!
