Get Fit, Stay Stylish, Save Money

As winter dawns on us we find solice in winter comfort foods, in action to prevent gaining weight this Christmas I made a promise to keep fit. However, every day I have the same argument with myself about whether or not I am going to drag myself to the gym...I never do...my excuse...I DON'T OWN ANY CUTE GYM CLOTHES. I don't know about you but wherever I go I like to look my best and the gym is no exception. Nike is rather expensive and however practical their gym clothes are, for one outfit you are still looking at a price of around £80.

This leads me onto my newest shopping find..H&M's new fitness range. For £60 I bagged myself two pairs of gym trousers, one long and one cropped and a sports bra fitted fitness tee. Each pair of bottoms are eqipped with a zip pocket for your Ipod which are made of a material advanced for 'breathing space' allowing you to keep cool whilst exercising and increase comfort with a vast range of colours you can mix and match your gym wear, I opted for black trousers, one with purple trim and one with a neon coral trim matched with a neon coral top.

It is clear to say that I am now eager to show of my new buys and actually go to the gym, starting tonight. The whole point of joining a gym is to make you feel good about yourself, so why not feel good in how you look in the gym, overall it will result in you feeling much more motivated and confident.

To see the full range of H&M's fitness range you can browse online or visit one of their larger stores in London - I tend to shop in their oxford circus store seeing as it is so large and offers a wide variety in all ranges. The range offers dance wear, cycling wear and general gym wear which is fabulous considering they are a higstreet fashion brand that doesn't concentrate on sportswear - eqipped with crop tops, trainers, jogging bottoms, cycling shorts/trousers, sports bras and many many more. Get your bums off to H&M this winter and have a look.

Happy shopping!

Fitness: Get Fit For Free

Getting that perfect body doesn't come easy and it doesn't help that gym membership fees seem to be extortionate these days. I am joined to David Lloyd leisure club and pay £73 a month which is ridiculous seeing as I barely ever actually go! So I thought I would do some digging and see what is out there in the industry of excercise and getting fit that you can actually do for free or for pretty much nothing and this is what I found...Well stumbled accross anyway!

{ Find a park with a Fit-for-free gym }

I couldn't believe my eyes when I returned from my holiday in Mykonos to find a FREE GYM in the park by my house. I was walking Princess (my beautiful miniature maltese) when I stumbled accross a gym..in the park. The most bizarre sight, not ugly in fact much of it is designed pink, blue and black and is modern and relatively attractive to the eye. Within the gated area there is a running machine that is powered by the movement of your feet and the momentum you create as you run; a pedal bike, a rowing machine, balancing equipment, weights and much much more. It is genuinley built like a gym, just one thing is missing - ELECTRICITY.

A clever interpretation of a gym, built and maintained by The Great Outdoor Gym Company. Great Outdoor Gyms cost nothing to run and very little to maintain and guess what, to become a member it is completely free, there is no contract tieing you down and you wont have your bank ringing you every month because you have gone into your 'unplanned overdraft'.
