If your well-meaning, wellbeing goals have been slowly dwindling and what was a 5 times per week gym plan, has dropped off to 3 at best, then it’s time to get that momentum back with a brand new outfit. Because there’s nothing like sporting some new chic & affordable activewear to get you motivated and moving!
We’ve got you sorted with our chic, affordable activewear sets – check them out below.
TIGHTS
What did we wear before these babies became mainstream? Trackies and bike shorts? EEK! A well-fitted pair of tights will assist in a higher performance as they become almost a ‘second skin’ so you can easily move. If this doesn’t make sense, just try and imagine working out in jeans…
‘The Limit Tights’ (featured below) are a new design from Showpo and are made in a thicker fabric than your standard tights, which means they’re a) not sheer, and b) really good at sucking you in! Don’t worry though, they’re still breathable so you won’t be swimming in a pool of your own sweat.

SPORTS BRA
No matter your age or how small and how perky your breast are, giving them a decent dost of support is uber important. A good sports bra should be really firm (without cutting off your circulation), comfortable and supportive. To test its effectiveness, try jumping up and down in one; if you have smaller boobs, you should have minimal movement; and for my larger breasted pals, anything more that one ‘bounce’ means it’s not supportive enough.
We have a fun array of sports bras depending on your required support. You can even match it to your tights #cute!

Now unless you’re one of those wonderfully confident gals who are happy to walk around with their tummy showing, you probs are going to want to pop on a top over your sports bra. And that’s ok!
Showpo has a slew of options depending on your personal preference, whether it’s a fitted crop, stylish tee or something oversized and comfy, we’ve got you covered (literally and figuratively haha).

SHOES
Make sure you get fitted – you’ll notice a DRASTIC difference in your performance! Personally, I’m a huge fan of Nike and Asics, but it’s best to head to the shops, try and few brands & styles on and then determine the best option for you. Tip: Head to the shops to do your try-before-you-buy work, but then purchase your runners online, where there’s almost always a savings to be had. Try ebay or Google the shoe you want + the word ‘discount’ or ‘sale’, and see what comes up (just make sure you’re not getting fakes!).
Now pop on your headphones, stream some tunes (check out the slew of workout playlist options on Spotify) and get pumpin’!
