“Cute gym clothes are a good motivator for me,” said supermodel Ashley Graham. Dear curvy girls, these gym picks by Ashley Graham are especially for you. She recommends wearing high-waisted leggings and colourful sneakers as they boost confidence when you are working out around people who aren’t plus sized. Leggings with stripes at the side makes your legs look longer and therefore, slimmer and just because you’re plus sized doesn’t mean that you can’t rock a sports bra either!

Hoodies are super comfortable, which is why it is often seen not only as a post-workout attire but also as a nice warm home wear.

Front Zip Sports Bra is the new apparel which is both functional and trendy compared to the traditional sports bra. Victoria’s Secret model, Josephine Skyriver is definitely a fan of them and she wears them regularly for her cardio routine such as boxing. The zipper located on the front allows the function of the sports bra to remain the same while it brings in an edge on the athleisure trend.
As much as the technical factors such as flexibility and safety matter, style plays an important role too. The way your dress represent your inner motivation and influences your performance. The more you dress like an athlete, the more you will be inclined to perform like one. Always ensure that you feel confident and look good in your sportswear. As confidence is the key performance!
