Working out is my drug. I HAVE TO sweat everyday. It not only makes me look better, but it makes me feel better mentally, and physically. I NEED IT. Lucky for me I work at Tracy Anderson. If you know me, you know my obsession with the method. It is hands down the most effective workout in the entire world. Call me biased- but it’s true. I work at the studio about 5hrs a day, 5-6 days a week in a 86 degree 65% humidity room. Talk about SWEATING. I love it, there’s nothing that a nice sweat can’t fix, BUT at the time same time it’s hard to feel cute when you’re sweaty all the time. This is where stylish workout clothing comes in! Thanks to companies like Bandier and Carbon38, buying amazing workout clothing is so much easier. The days of Lululemon being the leader are over. BYE BYE. I don’t know about you, but when I get new leggings or a sports bra, I am that much more excited to workout. The amount of leggings that I have is actually a sick joke. The even sicker joke is that I only really wear 5 of them. I love high waisted, with a thick waistband that is flat. (meaning no tiny waist band at the top) I hate it when the waistband cuts into my stomach. My current obsession in leggings are ones by Beyond Yoga. They have the best waistbands, are so soft and breathable, and are totally affordable. Bras are tricky, it’s such a personal purchase. I hate feeling too constricted, but still need some support for my small boobies. Michi always does me right. They have such edgy styles, great fabric, and a perfect fit. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, APL shoes are dabomb.com. They were actually banned from the NBA for providing the players with an “undue competitive advantage” (too much bounce). My personal favorites are the APL Ascends. There are a lot of lateral movements in TA dance cardio, and these do the trick. I highly recommend checking this brand out. They have so many styles that are pretty enough to wear if you are going for an athleisure look, and don’t even want workout. To finish off this blog post, I encourage everyone to workout!! You’ll never regret it. Find a schedule/workout that works for you, and stick to it. There’s no excuse now that you can look cute while doing it!
