Following my recent rant about the struggles I have with my weight, I decided to expand my workout wardrobe as it was getting to a point where I was wearing the same clothes over and over. Fair enough workout clothes are literally made to just work out in, and obviously when we work out we sweat, but it’s been said, lately, that you can use your clothing as a motivator to get your butt to the gym. If you’re like me, and forever having problems keeping things (and by things I mean boobies!
) in place then Sweaty Betty is your answer.
I’m fairly certain we all go to the gym for one reason, and one reason only. To work out. I was in a situation recently, at my local gym, whereby I was in my workout clothes, getting on with my workout – as you do, and I was greeted with a rather derogatory fellow gym-goer on my “choice of outfit”, as they put it. So I looked myself up and down, and really wondered what they meant by choice of outfit – here I was, sweaty, in leggings, a racer-back top and a pair of Nike trainers (pink of course!). It really bothered me for most of the week, as I wondered what on earth they were on about.
It was only after realising that maybe I did need to invest in better support when working out that I decided to give Sweaty Betty a go. Don’t get me wrong, the clothes I had in my wardrobe for working out were nothing short of supportive – they were comfortable, and provided the support I needed. But we all know there are days when you feel you need just that little bit more support – and for me, that was as soon as I decided to do a much higher intensity of cardio.
The colour
The Sports Bra from Sweaty Betty is a beautiful shade of purple-pink; perfect for adding a bit of girli-ness to your workout. I’ve constantly opted for black workout clothes to hide sweat patches, which there is nothing wrong with. It’s always nice, though, to add a bit of colour to your wardrobe, even if it’s something like a Sports Bra.
The material
It’s such a breathable material that doesn’t stick to your skin after a workout. It also doesn’t leave any patching and dries up fairly quickly, so you don’t need to parade around with the after effects of an amazing workout on you. There’s a slight padding to it which provides support so your boobies are kept in one place, so there is no bouncing around. Result!
The price
I’ll admit, I’ve always though of Sweaty Betty as quite expensive for gym wear. Considering how much gym memberships are nowadays, honestly, the last thing you is to cough up another £50 or so for workout clothes. Saying that, with Sweaty Betty you really get what you pay for, and if you need the additional support or want to feel good in your clothes when working out, this really is the brand for you. The Sports Bra I purchased was £38.
