Yoga pants, workout tanks, running shoes, oh my! It seems more and more women these days are running around town dressed like they’ve either just hit the gym, or they’re about to hit the gym, proving that “athleisure” is a trend that is not going anywhere anytime soon. Sure, this look is beyond practical and comfortable, but perhaps these women are onto something.
Have you ever noticed that a new pair of kicks, or even a new water bottle or yoga mat, gets you excited to exercise and propels you toward a more successful workout? According to a study from the Journal of Experimental Psychology, this is a real psychological phenomenon called “enclothed cognition,” essentially suggesting that the clothing a person wears can positively influence the wearers performance. So, if you’ve been feeling a bit stagnant and unmotivated lately, go out and get yourself some fresh new gear!
Here are some stylish looks that just help you get your booty into gear and reach your goals.
