workout gear

Its New Years Resolution time! So everyone has resolved to exercise more, right? And we can certainly look cute while we we're working out, right?

I love Nina Dobrev's running outfit!

She looks sleek and comfy in her UnderArmor long-sleeved shirt and Escape Short (which even have a hidden pocket for your key!)

Personally, I don't run. I'm a huge pilates girl! And my very, very favorite brand of yoga/pilates gear is Athleta.

I prefer to work out in capri leggings and a long tank. I love this one as well!  (And I have been coveting this Handkerchief Burnout Tunic all season! LOVE!)

For more budget options for workout gear, try Old Navy. I own FOUR PAIRS of their wide leg yoga pants. Because they have pockets. FINALLY! Yoga pants with pockets! Pair them with a zippered jacket and you're good to go! Target has terrific workout gear as well – and its almost all on sale this week. I highly recommend C9 by Champion: every piece I have by them has been comfy and has lasted really well!

And don't forget the details! Head over to Hanes and pick up a sports bra (I LOVE the ComfortFlex Bandini bra for yoga and pilates! Seamless and very comfy!) and socks. Hanes Cushioned Athletic Socks are my new favorite – I love how these fit! I've never once gotten a blister, they stay perfectly in place and are just cushioned enough without being bulky. I literally threw away my old socks after I discovered these… and ordered more of there!!

Don't forget to add the amazing new products out there that help you make more of your workouts. FILA recently introduced these Toning Resistance Pants, which are supposed to be really amazing, but I personally haven't tried them. I'm a huge fan of shaping shoes though! I love my Reebok EasyTone sneakers!

disclosure: i received a hanes bra and socks at an event – but, as always, all opinions are my own.
