September is here and it’s time to get back into those gruelling workouts that have been neglected over the summer months. For someone who drives to the corner shop, kick starting a new winter fitness regime can be a little daunting. No matter how close I live to the gym or how much I pay for the privilege, it is often hard to find the motivation to choose spin class over my sofa and stretchy pants.
If you are one of those people who doesn’t ‘do’ exercise, it’s time to get with the program. Copious amounts of Ben and Jerry’s, (training fuel) weekly aromatherapy massages, (to soothe aching joints) and a new winter workout wardrobe are just a few of the perks that come with signing up for weekly workouts. There are many benefits to challenging yourself physically and while scouring the web for luxury sportswear brands, I have stumbled across a few new reasons to hit the gym.
Here are three stylish sportswear brands to buy in 2011:
Lucas Hugh is a former Alexander McQueen intern and is the face behind one of the most innovative active-wear brands around. The fabulous fitted range is designed to flatter the female form with high performance fabrics that hug every curve. Fall in love with Lucas Hugh (trust me you will) and kick-start your new regime with a few of his futuristic figure hugging designs.
Sweaty Betty-Whether you prefer to pound the treadmill or chill out on your yoga mat, the Sweaty Betty brand has everything you need to look hot this winter. From comfy colourful clothing to cute running essentials and accessories, this brand is guaranteed to go down well with glamorous girls who want to embrace their sporty side.
Stella McCartney sportswear collection boasts everything from simple cotton shorts to statement pieces for gym goers who want to stand out. This collection of sports inspired apparel is perfect for those looking for a cosy cashmere sweater to throw on pre or post workout.
If you have never really taken to exercise in the past, looking the part can help you to approach any activity with confidence. Signing up for a gym membership or a 10K race is the perfect excuse to invest in some of this season’s hottest luxury workout gear.
