I don’t know about you, but I feel more motivated to work out when I’m wearing something comfortable, functional, and well, kinda cute. You can always work out in an old t-shirt and sweatpants, but when I found out Forever21 began a line of activewear for a fantastic price, I decided to check it out. Now, I normally don’t go around showing my stomach for any reason. I have my own struggles with how I feel about my body, so I usually don’t work out with my stomach exposed. However, the summers in Texas are brutally hot, so when I’m out for a jog or playing a little tennis (my favorite!), sometimes I break my own rule and decide to just stay as cool as possible. (One thing that helps: my glass BKR water bottle. It’s environmentally friendly, BPA-free, and keeps your water SO cold.)
I bought this outfit last week at Forever21, and I love it! It’s comfy and breathable, and I think it’s gym-worthy for $30. There are some amazing stores that carry some of the most attractive workout gear around, but their prices can be astronomical for a pair of yoga pants and a sports bra. I liked getting both pieces for $30, which leaves more money to spend on a gym membership, tennis lessons, or a delicious piece of chocolate cake that I feel like I’ve earned after working out.
