More Fun with Fitness & Fashion

Fashion AND Fitness

My kinda thing.

Style Bistro recently posted a special on Celeb Workout Attire.. but I have to say, I wasn't entirely impressed...

There was this...

Yes, Yes Katy I am afraid, but mostly of what happened to your shirt.  I don't want the same to happen to mine.  And I much prefer you with a softer 'do, even if it's pink.

Then there's Paris...

Bringing it back to the Old School, 'cause I'm an Old Fool, who's So Cool!

probably botched those lyrics...

And Gwen...

In her defense the weather looks horrendous, but does that coat remind anyone else of the colored stripes you'd get across your T.V. when it used to lose connection???

Ashley Tisdale

Like her little ballerina bun!

Sandra Bullock

Love her and WISH I could pull this off!  I don't think hats look so cute on me... Visors yes, hats no...

Sofia Vergara

Love her and her curves.. and the baggy shirt with one shoulder thing.. My only question is was this before or after  the gym? Because my hair cannot stay down like that - I sweat bullets when I get my cardio in.

Kelly Ripa

Is a pint sized Diva.

And Speaking of Fashionably Fit - Jillian Michaels has some new KSwiss gear coming out and her COMMERCIAL is to die for!

It's worth watching just to see Jillian in a 1950's inspired dress!  lol

In the end, I really think you should be COMFORTABLE in your workout gear and CONFIDENT.  It should definitely be functional.  If you're having to adjust straps or pull up your pants every five seconds it doesn't matter how cute the outfit is.

Questions for the Day:

What's your current 'go-to' outfit for the gym?  Does it depend on if you're taking a class or doing heavy cardio?

Fit & Fashionable

I used to be the girl who NEVER wore tennis shoes. 

Seriously.

Especially because I was a dancer so the exercise I did didn't really require that I wear tennis shoes... I owned dance sneakers (the kind that bend in the middle) but would only wear them with workout/dance gear and NOTHING else.

Now they have SO MANY cute workout options I am in workout clothes 90% of the time if I'm not at work!

Anyways, Fit Sugar did a post on BEST Celebrity Fit Fashion for 2011, which inspired me to find a few of my favorites!

Overall my FAVORITE workout wear trends for 2011 would be:

• Dark Sneakers with BRIGHT accents
• 'weathered' light baggy tops - v-neck t's and tank tops
• dark tight capris
• bright neon colored sports bras
• Jackets with THUMBHOLES
• Headbands/sweatbands
• Running Skirts paired with Knee-High Compression Socks

Questions for the Day:

Anything you'd add to the list? What was your FAVORITE fitness fashion trend from 2011?

What celebrity do you think perfectly embodies fitness fashion?

*Inspired* - Fitness Must Haves {omg I love way too many things}

This post was inspired by a Get Fit for 2011 Challenge posted by FitSugar {a very addicting site!}.

As I've continued on my journey of becoming even more active and living a healthier lifestyle I've picked up some new gear on the way and here are some of my favorites:

K-Swiss Tubes (Running Shoes)

I had never owned anything K-Swiss prior to these, but am a *huge* fan of Jillian Michaels and decided to try them out.  I found them in a Famous Footwear, put them on, and ran up and down the aisles countless times to make sure the shoes were legit.  I'm not sure if it is the tube technology, or just in my head, but I really do feel as if I'm springing forward slightly when I wear them.  I think they're great for cross training, squats, lunges, and short runs

My other athletic shoes are the Mizuno Wave Rider 14's
 

(Found in a post by a fellow FitSugar Reader) I saw them on sale at Nordstroms and loved the color (black & lavender) because darker sneakers don’t get dirty as quickly when you’re running outside! Okay… they get dirty just as quickly but they don’t show it
