Fitness Swellness: Joe Fresh Active

I’ve kicked off this year determined to accomplish a few things and two of them are to declutter and to exercise more (namely strength training — I’m training for a 30k race in March and a marathon in May, so I’ve got my cardio covered).

I’ve unloaded tons of stuff at Goodwill already and am chipping away at getting rid of more every day so decluttering is a work in progress. I’ll be tackling my overflowing wardrobe of fitness gear next. I have piles of sweat-wicking pieces, and yet I tend to only wear the same ones (the ones that fit and wear well) over and over.

So out with all of the old and unused, and to help motivate me to do that strength training and endless marathon training, I’ll be picking up a handful of new items. H&M has their new Sport line, and I’m also shopping at Joe Fresh — look at these inexpensive, fashion-forward pieces from their current Active line. Printed leggings ($29), shiny shorts ($16) and an ombré top ($16)? Yes, please!

At least if I don’t achieve a new PB (that’s personal best for you non-running folk), it’ll be a stylish best 🙂

Fitness Swellness: H&M launches Sport collection

Good news for all of you who’ve made a New Year’s resolutions to get more active in 2013: H&M has launched a Sport collection. Including items such as fuel belts for running and tights for Spinning, the line (made out quick-dry and recycled polyester fabrics) is affordable (starting from $9.95, sweet!) — and I promise you’ll feel better working out in gear you feel good in, rather than that grubby gear you dug out of the bottom of your closet.

Fitness find

Grey and orange is a favourite colour combo of mine (hmm, good for a mani, must try pronto) — so am loving this Jogi sling bag.

(And love the price even more: $20!)

(yoga mat sold separately, $15)

In stores (Real Canadian Superstore locations) any day now.
