The ladies of Team LC are quite the active bunch. When we’re not heading to meetings or going to photoshoots, we’re experimenting with fun, new ways to stay fit. And we all have different preferences when it comes to working out… Lauren likes to hike with her pups, Ilana loves going to yoga and ballet classes, Rachel and Jessica are indoor cycling addicts and Allison loves running outdoors. While we all have our own favorite ways to work out, there is one thing that we agree on: No matter what type of exercise rings our bell, it’s important to stay motivated and feel good while we sweat it out.
If there’s one thing that makes us excited to hit the treadmill, trail or yoga studio (and feel confident while doing it), it’s wearing comfortable, cute workout clothes.
Going to Yoga…
Allison of Team LC might be an avid runner, but she also loves to stretch it out in the yoga studio once a week to add balance to her workout routine. When heading to yoga, it’s smart to wear a loose fitting warm-up top like the Switch Back Tee over the Vaasa Sports Bra so that you can take it off when you’re beginning to break a sweat, then put it on again when the class is over. The Salar Capri has a great relaxed fit that will let you go from downward dog to crow pose easily. Say it with us: Namaste.
Going for a Run…
For all you runners out there, it can be hard to stay pumped up for running outside, day after day. You can’t sign up for a class, so you have to be the sole motivator when it comes to hitting the pavement. But we’ve found that new workout clothes and a great playlist can do the trick. Here, Allison wears the Salar Capri with the Norwalk Tank while she gets ready to run.
Cross-training at the Gym…
Lifting weights is an important part of working out if you want to have a well-rounded fitness routine. Doing only cardio seven days a week won’t cut it (read more about why it’s good to lift weights here). So when you go to the gym to do lunges, jump rope or work on your abs, you’ll want to wear layers that you can peel off when you start to warm up. We love the Ninety Six Windbreaker, especially with the colder months coming up. And the Sydney Capri is one of Team LC’s all-around favorite. We loved being able to put our keys, FitBits, or even a little lip balm in the hip pocket…because you never know who you’ll run into at the gym!
We’ve tested out tons of pieces from the top workout wear brands, and we have to say, Fablectics wins for the most fun shopping experience. You simply create an account on their website, fill out your fitness profile, and create outfits from their fashionable workout tops, pants, leggings, jackets, and cute accessories (like headbands and water bottles). Each item is a steal of a deal—costing only half the price of most high-end workout labels. Fabletics co-founder Kate Hudson works with a team who releases brand new styles each month, which are not only adorable but also happen to be super comfortable. Don’t you just feel better about shopping when it’s for workout clothes?! We sure do…
