Where To Buy Cute & Affordable Workout Clothes + Week 6 Update

I can’t believe we’ve already reached Thursday again! The week has gotten away from me a bit!

Okay, so before I play catch up and share the weekly mileage update for Mommy Needs to MOVE, I wanted to take a minute and chat about workout gear. For me, a quality workout starts with me feeling confident in what I’m wearing. When I’m wearing something that’s comfortable and somewhat cute, I usually follow through with a decent sweat session. On the flip side, if I throw on something baggy and frumpy, it’s much more tempting for me to cut the workout short.

While it’s important for me to feel good about myself while I work out, it’s also important for me not to spend a lot of money on said clothes. In fact, I’m confident that none of my workout clothes were purchased for full price.

So, here’s where I’ve had luck finding cute clothes for a fraction of the price:

Shoes: I’m a New Balance girl. Ever since switching to them a few years ago, I haven’t had any knee issues. The best prices for New Balance I have found are at Sport Authority (clearance rack), Kohl’s, or Nordstrom Rack.

Socks: I buy all my workout socks at Marshall’s/TJ Maxx. They have so many different name brands for half of what you’d paid at most stores.

Shorts/Capris/Pants: I find almost all of these at Old Navy, Target, or Marshall’s/TJ Maxx. Oh, except I must include my favorite running shorts right now, which are these Reebok ones that I purchased on sale at Dick’s.

Tanks/T-shirts/Long Sleeves: Nike Outlet, Target, Marshall’s/TJ Maxx

Headbands: I love these Goody stay put headbands which I get at Target!

Question for you: Are your workouts affected by what you wear? Where do like to buy your workout clothes?
