Fifteen Fitness To Fashion Wear Items That You Can Rock 24/7

 

Are leggings pants?  Of course, sister…and fellow fitness fashionista!  Whether you actually workout or not, fitness fashion is the way to go this fall.  Don’t miss these hot items to channel your inner Sporty Spice and make a statement in the gym, office, bar, or wherever you find yourself looking spexy(sporty+sexy)!

 

1. Spanx Faux Leather Leggings

Fashion Statement: Starting off with a bang!  Spanx faux leather is my absolute go–to when it comes to taking fitness on the town.  Not only do these fitness fashion leggings look gorgeous in the gym or with boots, they will make your thighs and booty scream amazing.

2. Lululemon Align Fitness Fashion T-Shirt

Fashion Statement: Ready for a T-Shirt that can go with EVERYTHING??  The Lululemon Align does it all; the sleek fit, pretty colors, and perfect length make it a must.

3. Nike Air Force 1

Fashion Statement: Who remembers 2002 when Nelly wanted “two pairs?”  Well, AF1s are back and Hot AF.  The simple design and inch lift make the calves pop.  These throw backs go with any outfit and will let everyone know that you are on trend.

4. Fabletics No Show Thong

Fashion Statement: Can’t forget what goes underneath and closest to the skin.  With a beyond reasonable price tag, this thong is always under my leggings.  The sheer and light fabric is super comfy and people will even think you are going commando.

5. Halara High-Waisted Jogger

Fashion Statement: Another item that won’t break the bank…at just under $30 these joggers are not just for jogging.  The ab-flattening high waist is beyond adorable and these fitness fashion babies can be accessorized to go from the gym to happy hour.  I especially like to dress them up with a cute bootie.

6. Adidas Primeblue SST Track Jacket

Fashion Statement: Another throw back on the list that even Kylie Jenner is rocking these days.  The Adidas Track Jacket (think RUN DMC) is the bomb this season.  Throw one on with a pop of color (red with a darker workout outfit) and you are never paying for your own drinks.

7. Carbon 38 X Eleven by Venus Williams

Fashion Statement: Any tennis skirt that is good enough for Venus is good enough for me!  The slim fit and cutepatterns are perfect for a Sunday brunch, even if you don’t know that Love means zero in tennis.

8. Bombshell Sportswear Scrunch Thigh-Highs

Fashion Statement: Okay, ladies…this is it!  The Bombshell Thigh-Highs are TO DIE!  Throw a pair over a boring pair of black leggings and you may as well just write sexy on your forehead.  This simple and easy addition can make all the difference.

9. Athleta Venice Wide Leg in Bluff Grey

Fashion Statement: These leggings smell like class.  The Athleta Wide Leg creates a beautiful silhouette and absolutely qualifies as business casual.  The softness and stretch will make your days at the office so much more comfortable.

10. Skims Teddy Zip-up Crop Jacket

Fashion Statement:  Shout out to Kim K. for a ridiculously amazing line.  Her skin care may not have hit the mark, but OH GOODNESS…Skims does not disappoint.  One brand highlight is this crop jacket that makes 40 the new 20.  Pair this with a tight tank and prepare for compliments.

11. Fabletics Puffer Scarf in Bone

Fashion Statement:  Ready for a diamond in the rough?  I had to throw in one more find from Fabletics. Thank you, Kate Hudson!  The puffer scarf in bone is the perfect accessory for every look and works as a jacket, scarf, or wrap.  So adorbs.

12. Gym+Coffee Melange Grey Beanie

Fitness Fashion Statement: For the days (most for me) when you don’t have time for a blow out, this beanie is a savior.  Just as the label promises, the gym+coffee vibe acts as elegant icing on that sweaty gym hair.  Gym hair – Don’t Care.  Sorry, couldn’t resist.

13. Peloton fitness fashion leggings

Fashion Statement:  Hello, Peloton!  I know your workouts are taking over the world, but who knew the leggings weresooooo cute.  With excellent fit and the Peloton label on the leg, everyone will know you are a total badass biker when you wear these to the grocery store.

14. Oura Smart Ring

Fashion Statement:  I wear mine on my left middle finger!  The Oura ring, made famous by Prince Harry, is a tasteful accessory that provides the best sleep data of any tracker on the market.  I review my Readiness and Sleep score every morning, letting me know how ready I am to tackle the day.

15. Alo Accolade Sweatpant

Fashion Statement: Last but not least, I leave you with a sexy sweatpant.  Don’t let Gigi Hadid, Taylor Swift, and Kendall Jenner be the only ones the paparazzi stalks in their Alo.  While other sweats may have a “lazy” reputation, these are anything but sloppy.

4 Reasons You Need to Act Now to Achieve Your 2022 Body Goals

 

1. You only have 12 weeks until Christmas

Sure, you may laugh at the ardent commercialism when Costco decides to bust out Christmas trees and wrapping paper in September; however, truth be told: there are exactly 12 weeks until Christmas.  Like legit 12 weeks from this very day!  Gasp!  Do you know what else is significant about the span of 12 weeks?  I thought you’d never ask…

It takes roughly 12 weeks, barring individual differences and exercise history, to truly lose body fat and gain lean body mass. I am not talking about dropping a pound or two, but actually shaping your body and changing its composition.  Staying committed and grinding it out for 12 weeks takes determination and will power.  Just know that Christmas will arrive whether your waistline is ready for it or not.  Why not plan ahead and end the year with a new sense of self, a healthy heart, AND a bangin’ body?  The sweet spot to transform your current self into your fit self (aka…getting off your butt and making better food choices) is NOW.

 

2. Fall is Fattening

It is easy to get sucked into tailgate wishes and pumpkin spice dreams.  Furthermore, inconveniences of colder weather tend to go hand in hand with decreased fitness levels.  Outdoor activities become less fun and downright uncomfortable.  If you start to coast along now… sampling every warm, gooey dessert and saying yes to Sunday Funday nachos, you will add an extra layer of winter insulation by the time the turkey hits the table at Thanksgiving.  JUST SAY NO never worked for drugs (sorry Reagan era), but it does work for healthy eating.  Don’t let yourself slide down the slippery slope of saying yes to food you know won’t properly fuel your body.  If cellulite and fat were considered an allergy, you would have a perfect excuse.  Use it…the gluten-free peeps need some competition.

 

3. Fall Fashion

Warmer clothes make it far too easy to simply cover-up the indulgences of fall.

My recommendations…

*Keep a bikini handy to try on once a week as a reminder that the sun still shines on other parts of the globe.

*Buy some skinny jeans and boots that make you feel sexy. 

*Book a winter vacay in a warmer, tropical location.

*Buy the perfect Christmas party goal dress that you know will make others want to push you under the mistletoe.

 

4. Be The Example

Imagine how powerful and amazingly awesome you will feel when the New Year rolls around and you are already ahead of the game.  You won’t be one of those sad people signing up for a gym on Saturday, January 1, 2022.  Put in the time and your body will reward you.  Don’t wait another year.
