Real People Real Results - Understanding how food, fitness and mental attitude affect weight loss
Last week I went for a late night run. I threw on my running shoes, my cute new running skirt and hit the pavement.
Had a great run… or at least I thought I did. When I stopped running my right foot was cramping and my right shin was aching. I knew my running shoes weren’t the best fit for me but I hadn’t realized how brutal they were for my body till I stepped off the cushioned treadmill and took a run on the asphalt.
As a result – my mission: A new pair of running shoes.
I love to workout. I like being “buff”. I don’t mind sweating. I even grunt every once in awhile. But more than all that, I LOVE being a girl.
So why not combine both those worlds?
What you wear to workout in has to be functional and comfortable, because no matter what we’re there to kick butt. But who says girls can’t kick butt and look cute doing it?
Getting fabulously fit and looking cute at the same time seems like a win-win situation to me.
No matter what your size or fitness level there’s fitness fashion out there for you!
Proclaim your girliness while pumping iron or tearing up the treadmill in an oh-so cute skirt! Don’t think of the knee length, church-wearing, polyester skirt your mom used to make you wear.

Next time you walk into the gym or hit the pavement, do it in style. Shake it like you got it! Don’t wait till you hit some magical number on the scale before you go buy yourself the fitness fashion you really want. If you feel confident and comfortable in what you’re wearing while you workout you’ll be able to focus on putting in a good workout. Not imagining that someone is looking at you or talking about that girl who just walked in (although some of the girls may be wondering where you got the adorable skirt!). The more good workouts you get in, the quicker you’ll reach your goals!
So pick up that barbell and sweat like a girl!
