Blisstree just did a little feature on real women in their real workout clothes. And lookie here, I’m featured! Check it out.
We’ve definitely become a culture very focused on what we look and this includes the time we are at the gym sweating our butts off. While some people workout in ratty old t’s, a lot of people are spending lotsa money on fancy workout clothes. I can see both sides of this one. If you’re sweating and at the gym to work out, why bother looking good? You’re focused on the workout and NOT what you look like in the mirror.
But…I also see the other side. When I’m at the gym and I look like a mess I’m not as motivated to work hard. Not sure why, but when I think I look good, I want to work harder. This is especially the case in gym classes when I’m forced to stare at myself in the mirror for 45 minutes. I also don’t have the luxury of wearing whatever when I’m teaching spin class. All eyes are on me and I have to look the part. And fine, I just LOVE Lululemon, I can’t help it!
So, do you splurge on fancy gym clothes or are you a shorts and t kinda girl?
