FitnessFiles: Where to Shop for Cute Workout Wear

Thought I would share my fave stores to shop for fitness gear & I listed them from least expensive to most.  Hope this helps some of you (us) on a budget to not pop over to a website filled with amazing clothes that you (we) just cannot afford right now… that is just a cruel form of TORTURE!  Enjoy lovelies!

// FOREVER21 ($)

You are prob like what, Danielle? Forever 21 for workout gear?! Yep! They actually have super cute stuff, fun colors and prints! Now the quality is not super amazing but hey it works if you are on a tight budget!

 {My Picks}

Faux Leather Tank

Mesh Long-Sleeve Shirt

Shimmer Jacket 

// TARGET ($)

They usually have pretty sweet gear for super affordable prices.  I like to buy my tanks and capris here.  But to be fair, it is hit or miss over there.

{My Picks}

 Space-Dye Tank

C9 Cocoon Jacket

Leopard Leggings

// ACADEMY SPORTS ($- $$)

Similar to a Dick’s Sporting Goods, if you have never heard of it… but basically they have great brands like Nike (no brainer?!?), Under Armour, and Adidas for cheaper prices than any other dept store.

{My Picks}

Nike Pro Leggings 

Under Armour Mesh Tank

// ATHLETA ($$- $$$)

They are my new go-to for cute, warm workout apparel.  I feel like their clothes work well for runners and for yoga types too.  It’s a perfect mix! They also have a really cool return policy, you can wear it and workout in it, and if you decide you don’t like the way it fits or feels just return it (or exchange it bc returning is mean J -- bad retail karma!)

{My Picks}

Asymmetrical Zip Sweater & this Tunic Sweater

Tank - ON SALE!

Plaid Leggings 

Feel Good Hat 

// CARBON38.COM ($$- $$$$)

I just stumbled upon this little gem last week and lets just say it is basically my dream closet of workout wear! They have brands like Splits59 (AMAZING!), Koral Activewear, Under Armour, Alo Yoga (A FAVE!)…. It is just a massive collection of stylish workout wear! Warning: The prices vary greatly some items from $20 - $500

{My Picks}

Every ONZIE Tank

KORAL Sports Bra && Leopard Sports Bra

Every pair of the ALO YOGA Leggings (but seriously, those Goddess Ribbed leggings MUST get in my closet!)

{Others worth mentioning}

// BEYOND YOGA ($$-$$$) – Amazing fabric and super breathable / stylish!

// FABLETICS.COM ($- $$) – Kate Hudson’s little line of really cute workout wear.  You do sign up for a membership and your first order is $25 for an ENTIRE workout outfit! Score! This membership has been on the wishlist for a while now… hoping to try it out very soon... hint!hint!nudge!nudge!...Hubs ;)

What are your favorite places to shop for sweet workout wear?! I would love to check them out!

I'm writing from Florida today! Mom and I decided a day ago to make a last minute trip down to visit some family.  I'm looking forward to relaxing by the pool, maybe doing a little shopping, grilling out, and maybe some golf or pickle ball (super fun btw, don't laugh).  If you follow along with me on Instagram I post some workout wear a time or two... Here is my favorite workout wear from last week + a good laugh for you & a KILLER Cardio track workout I did, enjoy :)

Yeah... so this happened when the Hubs told me I can use the button on the side of my iPhone to take a pic {mind blown}. Clearly, I was just terrible at it, so mental note: I need to work out that... eventually after many quite unsuccessful tries I gave up and gave the oh so high tech iPhone back to the Hubs in defeat... Now that I have just revealed my complete and total un-techy self... I would like to apologize for any terrible pics and the un-techy greatness of the blog. I am extremely excited to learn more and evolve the blog as I do.  Oh and any pointers you have for new-ish bloggers would be much appreciated.

Now that I have confessed that...on to the workout:

KILLER Cardio Track Workout
Complete each round twice before moving on to the next round.
Round 1
Run 200m
10 full burpees
10 Jumping Jack planks
Round 2
Run 200m
20 walking lunges (10 each leg)
20 air squats
Round 3
Run 200m
10 Upward dog into downward dog (slow and controlled)
10 tricep pushups (I did girlie style bc I was dying....)
Round 4
Run 200m
10 full sit- ups
10 knee ups

I was going to take a pic after, but well like I said I died so there was none of that business happening...

Side note: I am super competitive with myself so I typically always time my circuit workouts so that when I complete them again I can see if I can push myself a little harder.  I definitely recommend this if you are training by yourself to give yourself that extra push... it's so worth it! 

I hope everyone had an amazing weekend! I would love to hear about any great workouts you did or if you can make me feel better about never knowing I could use my camera from the side of my phone... I wouldn't mind that either :)
