Look The Part

I consider working out to be one of my favorite hobbies.  I also love it because it goes hand-in-hand with one of my other favorite hobbies--shopping.  As much as I love to shop for pretty much anything (I even love grocery shopping), nothing makes me happier than shopping for new clothes.  And when you hit the gym, you can't be running on the treadmill in your favorite pair of jeans.  So not only is working out good for you, it's the perfect excuse to go out and expand you're wardrobe.  Find something flattering, cute, and really comfy before you hit the gym!

Typically, I'm an old t-shirt and shorts type of girl.  However, this past weekend forever changed my life.  One of my best friends just got a job at the gym, Equinox in Scarsdale and she introduced me to the most beautiful pair of work out pants in the entire world.  Lu-Lu Lemon's black "Groove Crops" are (in my opinion) the perfect pair of pants.  I dubbed them the "miracle pants" as they flatter your bottom half perfectly and are as comfortable as they are stylish.  They're made with wicking fabric which pulls moisture away from your skin and distributes it evenly so it evaporates faster.  So convieniet, especially if you're aiming for a really sweaty gym-sesh.  The best part about them is that the material isn't supposed to pill after you wash it!  That's one of the worst things in the world.  You spend a ridiculous amount of money on nice pants and then you wash them once and they look like they're 10 years old.  They waistbands come in different colors and patterns and I wanted to buy one for everyday of the week!  The only negative thing about them is their price.  For these "miracle pants" you're going to have to shell out $87.00. (Unless you have a friend that works at their store and you get them 40% off :) ) I believe they are so worth it!  Comfy and cute.  It's like the best of both worlds.  They're made for high impact workouts, yet they're simple enough where you could even pair them with your favorite tee and get away with wearing  them on the weekends or to class.  Again, I highly reccommend these Lu Lu Lemon Groove Crops.  You'll look good, feel good, and get the best possible workout. :)
