These are JUST Gym Clothes, Right?

“You should really think about investing in a pair of Lululumon pants”…..now, any time we are talking about workout clothes, and you throw in the word “invest”, you’ve lost me. These are clothes I get good and sweaty in right? I mean we are talking about the clothes I wipe my sweaty face off with or my hands when I find somehow in the middle chiseling a new bod, I’ve also picked up some crud & I wipe them off on my pants…right? We are talking about clothes for these dirty, sweaty activities? Then do NOT say the word invest, because I just threw up a little bit in my mouth!

Now, don’t get me wrong… I’ve heard the Lulu clothes are great and I am quite sure they are, but you will not find my sweaty fanny in them. I refuse to pay that much for clothes that frankly I would likely be too afraid to mess up while I am getting my pump on in my garage gym.

I love workout clothes. I always have. I would stay in workout clothes day in and day out if I could. And I do have quite the workout clothes collection (as any self- respecting gym rat should!) It is actually a little bit insane. But I probably have never paid more than $25 or any one piece. (usually a lot less actually) So, where do I get my clothes:

·         Academy is probably my number 1 go to place for workout gear. They have their own brand & I happen to love it! It is so much cheaper but it works great & lasts! (most pieces are $14-$24)

·         My next go to is actually regular t-shirts. I get great t-shirts that I love and then make my own edits to make them my clutch workout shirts. (you know edits: lose the sleeves, cut the neck, and lastly the bottom = bye bye)

·         Target! Who doesn’t L O V E  target’s workout section?

·         Ebay…yes I said ebay…I get some of the more expensive pieces I simply have to have on ebay. They are loads cheaper but you can get most with the tags still on! (this is where I get my really awesome sport bras for my lady lumps! Gotta support these babies the right way! lol )

Now this refers to the workout clothes…..my shoes are a whole other matter entirely. I actually DO spend money on my shoes. Gotta do it. The shoes can effect everything else – your feet, legs, back, shoulders…just every part of the bod. But I do get some of my shoes from the kids section because I have small feet which makes them, you guessed it, CHEAPER.

I love workout stuff, but invest likely will never be in my vocabulary.
