Prism Sport // C&C California // SoLow
Did you set a fitness related resolution this year? I didn’t, exactly… but I do start basically every week thinking I’ll work out more than I did the last week, so it’s kind of an ongoing thing for me.
New workout gear is definitely a motivator for me – maybe I’m vain for caring what I look like while working out, but it really does seem to help.
When it comes to work out clothes, quality matters, to a point. The cut and material absolutely have to be right – no one wants to be adjusting tops or pulling up their pants all day long (or see other people doing that!) but I also don’t think of most of my work out clothes as investment pieces – they obviously get sweaty, are thrown in gym bags, washed frequently, etc. I want them to last for six months to a year, but I’m not expecting anything longer.
I’ve yet to find a favorite brand (and my thighs definitely touch, which may explain why a certain big brand doesn’t work for me!) but I’ll be trying these out this year. Any other American-made favorites I should check out?
Wow! I actually wrote a post about this this morning! I hadn’t heard of this brand thank you so much. I just found your blog via Nubby Twiglet I am so glad I clicked through! 🙂
I haven’t tried any of these, but I know the following activewear lines are made in the U.S.!
Pink Lotus
Nux (heard really good things about this company)
Splits59
Aside: Keep us posted on what you find! So hard getting back into a good routine with working out but it’s worth it. I found that cleaning up my diet simultaneously has helped. I realized that over the holidays I was probably eating an extra 2,000 calories every other day just from booze and cheese. How on earth is one serving of cheese supposed to be sufficient?!
My Solow leggings are my favorites right now for my Pilates workouts.
