If you're like us getting to the gym to pump some iron a la Arnold Schwarzenegger can be a battle in itself. Procrastination and exhaustion are just a few factors that will make us turn tail and head straight home to Netflix and a bag of Lays potato chips instead of busting a sweat on the elliptical machine. It's not something to be proud of, but we all have moments when we want to say Hasta la Vista baby to any physical activity period.
There are, however, a few things that will prevent us from skipping our work outs and bolster our moods when we're feeling out of sorts. For example, incorporating workouts into a daily or weekly routine so it becomes habit, partnering up with a friend for motivation and the other “ most important “ is to show off our fashionable gym gear.
Yes, we admit almost anything fashion related will turn our frowns upside down and get us to the nearest GoodLife just to walk around in our favourite athletic buys. So, for the sake of motivation we sent our style senses out on the prowl to search the World Wide Web for some of the most fashionable, athletic wear that not only serves you when you're breaking a sweat but you can wear when you're meeting up with your gal pals for a post-workout meal. Can someone say Brunch?
