I was shocked at the money people spend on branded Gym wear when you can save money on clothing which is just as stylish and still comfortable and suited for any work out. Don't get me wrong I wear Nike pro (black) Gym trousers and Nike Gym trainers but Primarks tops, jumpers, trousers, towels and even water bottles are all you really need for the Gym.
Personally I much prefer Gym wear that is tight and not baggy like most 'Gym tops'. Sometimes I look like I'm about to jump on my bike and go cycling in the clothing I wear but for what I do in the Gym its perfect. No woman wants to be working out in their Gym which may be like mine which is prodomanantly MEN; and your top rolls up whilst you're working abs.
I also love tight clothing because I can see my muscles and the changes on my body each time I visit. Some Girls may be completely against this but I suggest everyone takes a good look in Primark when it comes to Gym Wear and the essentials.
We all know Primark can be a guilty pleasure but I was genuinely surprised at the amazing quality of the Gym clothing and how long it has lasted me. Here was my outfit today-
This Primark top comes in Grey and Black too which I also have and they have the option of short sleeves. The sleeves also have thumb holes to keep the hands warm and to help prevent your sleeves from riding up. I personally only use these when leaving the Gym if I haven't showered and its cold!
The Zebra print is Dri Fit and I love this colour. If you love fashion like I do you want to look some what suitable plus quirky even in the Gym ; )
(I apologise for the blatant bra! Gym goers must understand that all my Gym bras were in the wash at this time)
I have two Gym Bras- one from Missguided and one from Primark.
Trousers are Nike and so are my Trainers.
Gym Gloves are from Amazon - Golds Gym
This is another Top from Primark which I've had for a year or so now. It's my go to Gym top as I love the fit and how comfortable it is.
This top has Dri Fit on it and from what I remember I think this top was around £8... In size 8.
I even got my Partner into Primark Gym wear as I've been raving about it so much and he's a tough one to crack! As you can see below he's been a Gym Junkie like me for a long time haha
So there you have it, thats some of my Gym favourites. If you'd like to hear anymore about something similar to this Blog like my Gym routines, Diet plan, my favourite techniques or what I enjoy working on the most please comment below as I'd love to help and maybe inspire your future workouts.
To end this blog I just have to add my worst yet most effective part of my Gym session... stretching!
I bought this from Argos last week in the morning and it arrived in the evening. Very happy with it. If you don't know about Foam Rollers get to know !
I prefer to use a foam roller at home instead of the Gym hence why I bought my own. I am double jointed so for me I like to use this at my own pace in the privacy of my own home so that I can take my time and properly wind down. Its incredibly painful after a gruelling work out but it really does help (when used correctly) to help prevent the aches and pains that come the next day after a Gym sesh and to improve flexibility.
Thank me later!
Again if you'd like to know how I use mine considering I'm double jointed, please comment and it may be my next blog.
From one Gym Junkie to another I suggest you get quality and quantity at the same time.
