Mediterranean Chicken Flatbread will make your Labor Day weekend even more fabulous!

  It seems like the gym as become quite the runway these days. I will be honest, I switched from a big box gym to a family friendly rec center. It is a much tamer runway but can still be a runway. With so much focus on being cute and stylish we sometimes forget about some of the more important reason we buy workout clothes, to actually workout in them. Today's Fit Friday is all about tips for finding good workout clothes.

1) First and foremost think of the activities that you are wanting to do. Different activities require different types of clothes and support. You don't want to wear a less supportive yoga sports bra when you hit the trails for a 6 mile trail run.
2) Try it on! I hate trying on clothes but with workout clothes it is a must. If a top is too tight I am not going to workout in it because it is going to make it hard to breathe and/or I will be way to self conscience. If my shorts are a bit too baggy I know that I will constantly be pulling them up and they will soon end up at the bottom of the drawer. If there is a seam that rubs wrong it will drive me crazy every time I move and once again an article of clothing will be shoved to the bottom of the drawer.

3) Breathable fabric. Cotton is not a good type of material to workout in! You want fabric that will breathe and not collect sweat.

and finally:

4) Don't buy it if you won't wear it! All the cutsie patterned shorts are adorable, but if you know that you are a black shorts girl stick with the black shorts. 


Workout clothes are expensive, spend your money wisely folks!

Happy Fit Friday! 
Much Love and Peace~ Nichole and Ruthie
