Often, the days we need to get ourselves to the gym most (i.e., when we’ve overdosed on massive piles of chocolate mousse and have a cocktail event within 48 hours) are the days we have the most trouble motivating. For many, feeling good goes hand-in-hand with looking good, and wearing a sloppy tee and cotton tights that absorb sweat, instead of wicking it away, won’t make the trek to the gym any easier. It’s also important to remember to buy clothes and accessories that fit the activity you’ll be partaking in to help prevent injury and get the most from your workout.
