Happy New Year! Whether you’ve set some New Year’s fitness goals or you’re just looking to add to your workout wardrobe, there’s no better time than now to get your workout wardrobe essentials together to ensure a successful fitness regime.
Of course, this isn’t the only thing that guarantees fitness success when it comes to working out and doing sports. Motivation to workout and the right equipment is a must, especially as most of us are tackling home workouts as the gyms fluctuate between open and closed.
Today, we’ll be sharing our workout wardrobe essentials, as well as some tips and tricks on how to keep motivated even when exercising from home.
Workout Clothing Essentials
Sweats
Both men’s sweats and women’s sweats are essential when it comes to exercising and working out from home.
Long-sleeved sweatshirts and joggers are great for light exercise such as yoga, whereas shorts help keep you cool during more intense workouts.
For women, a Calvin Klein set is a clear favourite when it comes to comfort and style. Pair joggers with a Calvin Klein bralette or hoodie of your choice.

Trainers
Trainers are vital when it comes to looking after your feet during exercise, even when working out indoors.
Different trainers cater to different needs, and some act more casually than others, ideal for weekends and other everyday activities rather than workouts.
However, finding the right trainers for workouts is easy.
Ladies’ Love Moschino sock boot trainers are lightweight and fit to your ankles, ensuring ultimate comfort while running and working out.
For men, PS Paul Smith runner trainers are cushioned to protect your feet while running and exercising, making them ideal for working out and running.

Comfortable T-Shirts
Key for home workouts, a simple T-shirt paired with leggings or shorts goes a long way, especially if you don’t want to invest a lot of inexpensive athletic wear.
Opt for a loose-fitting T-shirt to allow easy movement, by the likes of HUGO or Levi’s.

Keeping Motivated at Home
Getting prepared to exercise isn’t just about the clothing worn, but keeping yourself motivated can be a struggle without the gym or a personal trainer.
Here are our top tips for motivating yourself to exercise at home, even if you don’t have all the exercising equipment you might have at a gym:
- Set up a schedule so you can always make time for exercising. Remember you don’t always have to spend hours exercising, just 20 minutes of exercise a day can help you keep fit
- Create a dedicated workout space. You don’t need heaps of equipment, just a space that can be used for working out and exercising that provides you with plenty of space to move about
- Exercise with your household or with friends and family over a video call. Sometimes, exercising by yourself can be harder when it comes to keeping yourself motivated, but exercising with friends and family can make it more fun
- Do workouts that you enjoy! Excruciating activities that leave you feeling sore and drained aren’t for everyone. You’re more likely to want to exercise if you enjoy the workout you’re doing
- Alternate between different exercise methods to keep things interesting. Try doing yoga one day and jogging another, or cycling one day and a home workout the next
Staying at home doesn’t have to mean you can’t get enough proper exercise. Until the gyms are allowed to reopen, working out from our homes and gardens are the way forward.
