Our Top Fitness Clothing Picks | From Lounge to Gym

It’s January – as I’m sure you’re already very aware of. As we all know, January is the time for health and fitness. We know, it’s in your face, non-stop. We decided, to make it all a little bit more fun. With new fitness goals comes new fitness clothing! Here’s our favourite picks hot off the press.

Soft as butter, stretchy and made from bamboo – we know, BAMBOO. These leggings from Carrot Banana Peach are a must. Their collection is eco-friendly, sustainable and super high quality. Plus, they’re so cute. Their leggings come in at around £40-70, whilst their sports bras and tops range from £14-£35.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you’re looking for some go to loungewear that can double as the perfect gym or dance attire, Pineapple has the clothes for you. Contemporary, modern and super affordable, their range covers leotards, sports bras, leggings, joggers and tanks. With new designs constantly being added, there is a style for everyone!

 

We’re all about multi-purpose here at Catalink. We want to give you something that can be used, time and time again for multiple occasion and situations. That’s why we are crushing (hard) on Select Fashion’s loungewear. Cosy, comfy leggings, over-sized jumpers, matching joggers and more. Plus, their price point is so affordable. You can find hoodies for £7!

 

Although, not necessarily activewear, Healthy Back Bag are still in the running as one of our favourite go-to fitness brands. They make backpacks that are not only pleasing to look at but healthy for you. Incredible right?! Their designs help distribute your load evenly to take the pressure off your back. They’re spacious but compact, cute but functional and will last you a lifetime.

We’ve given you the tools, now it’s up to you. To lounge or not to lounge. Oops, we mean, workout.

5 New Years Resolutions You Can Keep

New year, new me, blah blah blah. We’re all guilty of saying it and perhaps not really doing it. But! We thought this year it was time for a change. Instead of setting silly goals that we know we won’t accomplish or that aren’t even that healthy or great for us, we wanted to set some New Years Resolutions that really matter.

Designate Electronic Free Time

It’s about time you weren’t obsessed with a smart device. Not only is constant screen-time bad for our bodies and minds it’s also bad for our general well-being, happiness and social life. Choosing a slot in your day – whether it be 10 minutes or an hour – to go digital free and spend some real time in the real world, is a great New Years Resolution that will make you feel so much better in every aspect of your life.

 Take ‘me-time’

With such a busy and hectic lifestyle, it’s hard to find the downtime where you simply rest and reset. Finding the time in a day or even a week to delegate time to yourself is vital if you want to keep your mind happy and healthy. Sometimes, the best time we have is alone time.

Help others

2019 is a great year to start helping others. Whether you choose to help a charity, a cause or a friend, you should actively look for things that you can do that will help better or improve someone else’s life. This will not only help you feel great but will help others to feel better – and there is no better feeling than improving someone’s day!

Read

Instead of watching six episodes of Friends or binging the entire series of Game of Thrones (which we do recommend doing at some stage in your life), opt for a book. We know it’s a pretty simple suggestion, but it is one that will change your life. Reading a chapter, page or whole book every week will keep your brain engaged, whilst helping you feel relaxed and rested. Plus, there are so many incredible books out there that are made for you – you just have to find the right one.

Educate yourself

Make time for education – whether this be via the News, a class or a new hobby. Make a conscious effort to read the news, dedicate your time to learning something new or choose an educational podcast. Our minds are incredible, and they thirst for new knowledge – feed your brain and you’ll soon reap the rewards. There is nothing bad about new knowledge – once you learn and listen, you can not only make informed decisions, but you can help others do the same.

Now all you have to do is action these words and you’ll be on the way to a better you and a better year.

Happy New Year from all of us here at Catalink!
