Yesterday at the gym I saw a woman wearing Crocs and cargo pants on the treadmill. I am slightly more, um, traditional when it comes to workout apparel–though perhaps no less passionate than my Crocs-loving friend. So I thought I’d share some of my essentials!
Countless hours logged on the elliptical and in the spinning studio have me hooked on Lululemon Athletica. I’ve been wearing their stuff for about eight years, and I have pieces that old that still look as good as new. The built-in bras in the tank tops support even my bountiful lady parts, and the pants never ride up or chafe. Plus they look so stylish that I can dash into the grocery store after the gym without garnering disapproving looks.
I’m just as loyal about my shoes, too; I only wear Asics Gel-Kayano, and I happily replace them with the same model every year. I usually just toss it all into a canvas tote when I’m on the go, but wouldn’t this Stella McCartney for LeSportsac bag be a chic alternative to my grubby Whole Foods sack?
I keep a Sigg bottle handy so I don’t have to buy a plastic bottle of water. On days when I can’t make it to the gym, I adore DVD’s from Jari Love and David Kirsch–they whipped me into shape for my wedding last summer! I stay motivated by thinking about how good that post-workout shower will feel, and I reward my effort with a light leave-in conditioner, a yummy smelling shower gel, and a rich body lotion.
Tell me: What are your workout essentials? And speaking of workouts, is this video a total throwback for anyone other than me?
i love lulu lemon, i swear it makes everyone look good;)
Love Lululemon! I swore by my Kayanos for years. I think I had 10 different versions. I just switched it up 2 years ago. I still have a brand new pair in the closet, though. For running, I swear by skorts. The compression shorts are awesome, and they don’t ride up!

I don’t have much to say about workout clothes (other than thanks for the Lululemon recommendation!), but I do want to share that my Stella McCartney for LeSportsac bag is my favorite bag I’ve ever owned. It’s been all over the world with me and is quite the trustworthy companion. Great picks, Anne!

My friend is trying to get me hooked on lululemon. I checked out their site awhile ago and it looks really cute but pricey! Maybe I’ll have to go look again…

Lululemon and BodyLanguage Sportswear are my two favorite workout lines. (check out my review of BodyLanguage on my site) Just bought 5 Lululemon sports bras on sale yesterday. Fun colors for summer!
p.s. I think I’m going to have to buy that LeSportsac bag you have pictured.
I’m glad to hear I’m not the only lulu fan!
Julia–it is pretty pricey, but I’ve found it lasts longer and functions much better than other workout apparel I’ve ever had—making it a better purchase in the long run! Start out with just one tank top (I think they run about $48) and I promise you’ll be a convert :)

I am sad to admit, I haven’t tried LLL yet! Inspired by you now to run over there!

it’s not only a fashion violation to wear Croc’s and cargo pants on the treadmill but it’s downright dangerous!!
