One of the most common New Years Resolutions is fitness. And even if you aren't planning any New Years Resolutions this year, we can always aim to be a little bit more active after a calm and relaxing Christmas! So, if that is something you think you'd like to try, then check out some of our Activewear pieces that can help you get started on your journey!
Sports Tops
Lightweight, breathable and comfortable - all the things you should be looking for when you're purchasing clothing you'll be wearing while working out.
These tops, from Fit Pink and Diesel, are perfect additions to your wardrobe for the year ahead. They are also great to layer with sweatshirts, jumpers or zip-up tops, so you can start with those extra layers and cool down in these t-shirts.
Trainers
It is so important to wear good footwear all the time, but especially when exercising.
You need good arch and heel support, a hardwearing sole and breathable materials. These top picks from Asics are a great all-round exercise shoe!
.
Leggings & Shorts
When buying leggings for exercise you'll want to feel secure, comfortable and of course you'll want a flattering style!
We've chosen leggings and cycling shorts from Fit Pink & O'Neills because they tick all the right boxes! Pro Tip - the Fit Pink Leggings even feature a subtle side pocket, which is great to hold your phone or keys when you're out and about.
.
Sports Bra
Lots of women, especially with a flatter chest, assume a sports bra isn't necessary for exercise, but that is simply not the case! It is estimated that 8/10 women are wearing the incorrect bra size, and 44% don't wear a sports bra when exercising.
Sports Bras are specifically designed to minimise movement, handle motion and hold your breasts firmly in place during low to high impact exercising sessions. Regular bras are not designed for this, and can cause discomfort, tension on the back and shoulders, and cause rubbing/chafing. These picks from Triumph, Panache & Anita are great options for anyone exercising this year!
Sports Accessories
If you're looking to get fully kitted out, then we've chosen a couple of our must-have additional items.
Firstly, the Built water bottle, which can keep your liquids cold for upto 24 hours - amazing for a refreshing sip during an exercise session! Next up, the North Face bag, which you can use as a duffle bag or backpack, perfect for the gym or classes to hold all your essentials.
Finally, what's exercise with some distractions? These headphones, perfect for music, podcasts or audiobooks, will help to keep you in the zone!

So there you have it, everything you need to get active this year!
