Zella: My Favorite Work Out Gear!

Like most people, when I go to the gym, I’m there for one reason — I want a great workout, and I want to get out of there as I usually have a lot of other things to do. However, I would not be honest if I didn’t admit that while I want to to have a great workout that’s quick, I also want to do that workout in clothes that are comfortable and motivating.

For me a baggy t-shirt and baggy shorts are neither comfortable nor motivating. I need workout clothes that won’t distract me with the sound or feel of fluttering material hitting my shoulder blades or the back of my thighs as I am working hard to reach my goal of walking two 10-minute miles on the track or pressing 200 pounds on the seated press.

I need my workout gear to be made from material that wicks away moisture and is chafe free. Of course, I also need my workout gear to fit well. I like my tops to be long and completely cover my belly and even part or all of the tush because plumber’s crack is a big NO, NO!

I also like long pants that massage the legs while feeling like a second skin. I guess I need and want a lot.  Which is why I love, love, love Zella workout gear.

Check out these Zella “Live-In” Leggings in Black.

 

And this Zella “Radiance” Racerback Tank.

The Zella workout clothing line meets all of my needs and so much more. I started wearing Zella when I returned to the gym after my second child. I had an umbilical hernia that made my belly poke out and Zella was the only clothing that made me feel comfortable. When I wear it I feel secure and motivated because it holds in, lifts up and looks good.

One of my favorite tops. I have had it for over a year and it wears wonderfully.

I loved my blue Zella "Radiance" Racerback Tank so much that I finally bought another one in pink. I am also wearing the Zella "Live-In" Leggings.

I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for the same thing. The sizes range from 0-16 and extra small to extra large. They have products in a wide array of styles, colors and fits. The prices are $30-$40 for the tops, $40-$70 for the bottoms and $70-$100 for the jackets and are sold at Nordstrom in both the store and online at Nordstrom.com.

Please note that I was not compensated in any way for this review.  I just really, really love this workout clothing line.
