Fitness Tip #3: Wear Cute Workout Clothes
By metropolitanmama | February 16, 2008
Not only are “real” workout clothes more flattering than your ratty t-shirts and sweats, they’ll also make you feel more athletic and they are typically more functional. For example, a moisture wicking shirt will likely be more comfortable than a cotton tee and running pants will probably flow better than your baggy pajama pants.
Since its winter, I thought I’d spotlight an outfit for colder weather. It actually snowed here yesterday and it’s currently 49 degrees (Brrrr…laugh if you will…I’m an Arizona girl).
Today I’m giving away my favorite winter workout outfit to one of my loyal readers courtesy of Brooks Running…
First, for the buttom, I recommend Energy Flare pants. They’re stretchy, but not skin tight. They flare, but they don’t trip you up either.
Second, for the top, I recommend Energy 3/4. It’s soft, the “cap” sleeve design is nice, and the 3/4 sleeve length is flattering.
You can check out more great options from Brooks Running (I love this run skort and this Equilibrium SS shirt) on their site. If online shopping isn’t your thing, you can find a retailer near you.
WIN IT! There will be two winners. One mama will win the Energy Flare Pants (Size: L, Color: Shadow) and another mama will win the Energy 3/4 shirt (Size M, Color: Violet). To enter, simply leave a comment stating which item you prefer on this post prior to Wednesday, Feb. 20. Remember, you must either post the Get Fit in February button on your blog or e-mail 5 of your friends about the promotion to be eligible! The winner will be announced and contacted on Thursday, Feb. 21. * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address.
* UPDATE * The winner of the Energy 3/4 Shirt is #14 windycindy. The winner of the Energy Flare Pants is #23 Laura M. - Editor.

I’d love the shirt. I like the colors! It’s nice to have quality workout clothes. It’s similar to how a great dress makes you feel–just a tad little bounce added to the steps!

I’d like the pants, because there are some days when shaving my legs is not on the agenda, and long pants come in handy.
I sent an email to five peeps!
Thanks.
