Work it, make it, do it, makes us harder, better, faster, stronger

Hi there,

As you all know one of my pledges to myself this year was to be fitter and healthier. It's off to a great start, I haven't been workig long hours unlike last year so I have had more energy and time to exercise.

This means I feel happier and better about my body. So I decided to do a bit of online shopping for some new fitness gear, I am a firm believer that if I am wearing clothes that look good for exercising in it puts me in the right mindset and I achieve more, I run faster, work harder and feel stronger - hence the blog title from Daft Punk (a song on my workout playlist).

I received a big package of goodies from Sports Direct yesterday and was so excited I couldn't wait to try it all out!! And model it for you, because I'm not just about fashionable clothes outside of the gym.


 
Puma Kuris running shoes - £19.00

 
Karrimor running jersey - £8.99
 
Lonsdale zippered leggings - £3.99

 
Run365 running t-shirt - £2.99

 
Golddigga oversized crop top - £2.49


 
Bit in love with my new running shoes, they are by far the nicest trainers I own!




 
Lonsdale mock layered tee - £4.99
Run365 capri running tights - £3.99
 
 
I managed to convince Mister 'WhatLisaWrote' to photograph me doing all sorts of jumps and punches so I'm pleased with the action shots in this post.
 
 
Everything I ordered fits perfectly and is of good quality which is important to me when I wear it nearly everyday for different variants of physical activity. And I LOVE the prices, this haul cost me about £50 in total!!
 
So if you're looking for new sports gear get yourself to the Sports Direct website.
 
Are any of you on a health kick now we're in a New Year?
 
Happy Friday!!

  4. I agree, new sports wear always motivates me to work out harder, it just gives me a boost and a lift. A bit like a new pair of shoes do on a grey dull day. Sports Direct have gone into administration (boo hoooo) so there are some mega deals to be had at the moment, i must check it out!

    1. Yes, definitely comparable to a lovely new pair of shoes on a rubbish day!

      Oh no, that's terrible about Sports Direct - it's the only place fitness gear isn't extortionate :{

    1. Hi Corinne,

      I have been a member of a local gym since last Spring and used to go quite regularly but probably in the last 2 months of last year I didn't have time to go because of work so I am making more of an effort to go this year!! I do spinning, boxercise, pilates, general gym work, I go running and I play rugby!

      I am following your blog now, feel free to follow me back if you like :)

  7. I'm doing the exact same thing - in fact, I ordered the same Run365 running t-shirt & pants from sportsdirect, haha! :) I'm finding the fitness blender workouts on youtube are seriously great for toning & stuff. Best of luck to you! :)
