How do you stay motivated to get your body moving? For me, it’s definitely having a cute selection of plus size activewear essentials!
When the pandemic hit, I was at a loss about what to do with my gym membership. I was so used to my routine! Now how do I get out of THAT and outside? As I do, how can i get back into a new swing of things?
How do I remain active and safe?
During the pandemic, I decided to cancel my gym membership, get some cute new workout clothes for extra motivation, and ordered a cycling bike! Which has been one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.
I get the ultimate workout and I’m pushed in ways I never thought I could be.
When I’m looking for activewear, there are a few aspects that I like to keep in mind. These are comfortability, function, fun prints, support, and of course, the style!
I love sharing great finds, so I thought that I would share some of my favorite pieces that help me look cute while working out!
What’s in your workout wardrobe? What are your plus size activewear essentials? It’s important to have a mix of different tops, sports bras, shorts, and leggings to match the activity you will be doing. And of course, having a comfortable and supportive sneaker, too!
Even if you don’t have a cycling bike at home like me, you can still be cute while taking a nice walk around the block or practicing yoga at home.
