FIT BITS: Game Changing Gear

Originally posted in The CLOSET

I work out. Okay, sometimes I work out. Fine - I used to work out. Blame it on babies or lack of motivation or a general aversion to pain but for some reason, my once super active lifestyle has tanked. Anytime this happens, I know just what to do - and no, I don't mean personal trainers. So expensive, so barky, so mean. I'm going to pay you $200 an hour so you can make me cry? No thank you very much. 

I prefer a more subtle approach to motivation that lets me go shopping at the same time. I like to call this the win-win strategy to getting in shape.

From envy-inducing yoga gear to the fitness accessories you'll love, I've rounded up my favourite game-changing workout gear to help kick your workouts into high gear. And you thought getting fit was complicated...

Work It, Own It

GFast Leggings from GapFit's pretty new collection 

Along with the arrival of a brand new year, comes the possibility of a fresh start;  We vow to eradicate our naughty habits, to eat better, and almost always, to whip ourselves into shape.

With GapFit's gorgissima new athletic collection, I'm feeling awfully inspired to get back on that treadmill.  The high-tech line of tops, pants and jackets combines fashion with function to visually sculpt, lift and elongate the body.  (Does that mean I don't have to work out as much?)

The sporty collection features four way stretch fabrics, adjustable waistbands, hidden zip pockets and flat lock (read: chafe-free) seams.  The tops are made of 'Motion' fabric with wicking properties and ergonomic mesh panels to help your body breathe while you're breaking a sweat.  As someone who has trouble finding great workout bottoms, though, I'm definitely most excited about the pants - think sleek, flattering, body-hugging black beauties with a choice of yellow, orange or blue piping, to suit every one of my workout moods: gFast (for action), gBalance (for comfort), gFlex (for everyday), and gStretch (for lounging).  I'm so glad they've left room for lounging, aren't you?!

Find your perfect pair at Gap now - tops start at $34.95 and pants start at $39.50
