Nikk's Picks for Summer Workout Apparel
Summer is almost here, yay! Whether you are an avid runner, workout at home or in a gym, or love to garden, we need the right workout apparel for these activities. Most of y’all know, I’m a CrossFitter & Personal Trainer, I also love hiking, running with our dog & don’t love gardening & weeding yet it’s a necessary evil lol. I am very particular about my workout gear so I’ve rounded up my faves for you, enjoy!
old navy running shorts
I recently purchased these running shorts & they are AMAZING! They do have a liner & an inside pocket & fit like a dream! I am constantly on the hunt for running shorts that aren’t too short, aren’t too tight, & stay put when you’re actually in them. These are SO good & come in multiple colors (I purchased more). The best part, they are only $16.99 regular price!
joy lab running shorts
Target has several different styles of running shorts & I’ve tried them all. The Joy Lab brand from Target are nice, not my fave but are great for running errands, doing yard work, however, I don’t grab these for workouts.
all in motion shorts
These running shorts from Target would be my 2nd choice for running & all workouts. This pair of shorts has the liner, internal pocket, AND a really slim zipper side pocket that is pretty cool. There are lots of colors available in lots of sizes for under $20!
fitness tee company
This online company has funny workout tanks & hoodies. There are so many options & styles available. Sign up for their emails because they do have sales pretty often.
lululemon scuba hoodie
The Scuba Hoodie from Lululemon is pretty famous. Now, the price tag may seem high for a hoodie that you’re wearing to the gym or in the car on those chilly mornings. I will say, this hoodie is worth the money!! Available in tons of colors & sizes, I did size up because I wanted to be able to wear it in the winter too over additional layers.
racerback tank
If you’re looking for a basic racerback tank, Target has lots of choices. Unfortunately, sizes are selling out fast because of the 30% off sale so hurry & checkout fast! On sale for $8.40!!!!!
sports bra
Finding the right sports bra is soooo annoying! And then finding one that isn’t $100 or more? Impossible! Full disclosure, I have boobs & don’t want them moving when I’m working out. I don’t want a push up sports bra, I don’t want a sports bra that makes my boobs look bigger, just keep those gals secure lol. I recently discovered She Fit from one of my workout buddies & this company is amazing! Lots of different choices, my fave is the Ultimate Sports Bra, and the fit is sooooo good! Definitely utilize their fit guide, it was spot on for me: )
walking & running shoes
For years, I’ve heard all the love for Hoka walking & running shoes. I’ve never been a huge fan of the look of them (my style love can get in the way of function sometimes, haha). I’m here to declare, I’m converted! These shoes are like walking on clouds! I am on my feet A LOT throughout the day & Hokas are incredible.
Now I hope you are ready to get outside this summer & stay active. Moving each day is vital to our health so you may as well look cute while doing it: )
