If you plan on shaping up in 2010 sporty-chic accessories will provide a bit of extra motivation when you need it most – so will some pictures of Daria Werbowy...
Let's face it: working out is WORK. Might as well have a bit of fun with it when we can! Let's start with shopping and, more specifically, the above items, shall we?
Above, left to right:
Make any day at the gym feel like a walk in the park, with a chic little carry-all. The canvas bag above features Anya Hindmarch's signature embroidered bow detail, brown leather handles, gold-tone hardware, an internal zipped pocket and a re-enforced base | Anya Hindmarch 'Gym Kit' Canvas Tote $98
Basketball isn't just for the boys. Perfect your game while playing a little one-on-one with your bestie in the park. You'll get a great cardio workout, b-ball is free, and you can gossip at the same time | Nike Kay Yow Basketball $25
Above, left to right:
Get to and from Yoga class in style with chic little ballet flats from Y-3 | Mei Ballerina Flat $190
We don't care if they supply 'em; One of the things you've got to have for class is your own yoga mat–we recommend the on spot (and trend) non-skid leopard mat seen above | Leopard Print Foam Yoga Mat $26.99
Super comfortable and as StyledOn as gymwear can get, cropped leggings by Stella McCartney for Adidas are ones you actually won't mind wearing | Adidas by Stella McCartney 3/4 Length Leggings, Now $59.50
Above, top to bottom, clockwise:
Cheap and simple, the Xertube is an ideal workout tool you can use anywhere, any time for safe and effective total-body conditioning–and it's purple | Xertube Resistance Band w/Door Attachment and Exercise Charts $9.99
Information is power. Accurately track your calories burned, steps taken, distance traveled and sleep quality with the Fitbit. A tiny little gadget you can wear on your wrist, belt or anywhere else really, the Fitbit tracks your motion in three dimensions and converts this into useful information about your daily activities. Kinda cool and motivating in an entirely new way | FitBit $99
Ready to shape up, but not necessarily ship out? Enjoy a private workout of your own with the Wii. Fit Plus is packed with all sorts of games to help with your balance, coordination, agility and core strength | Wii Fit Plus $99.99
Above, left to right, top to bottom:
Catch a wave, some rays, and squeeze a little excercise in with a session on Proenza Schouler's Wave Print Short Board $2,995
Now, if you are going to start swimming, you've got to do it right. Standard Swedish goggles are the kind real swimmers don during practice | Swedish Goggles $3.95
Tone and tighten those legs with zoomer fins during training session. Short and powerful, these babies propel you fast through the water, giving you an excellent workout and encouraging you to keep on going even when your legs are killing you | Finis Zoomer Swim Fins $34.19
Shift the focus to your arms and upper body and slip a float in between your legs. Reach far to extend and lengthen the muscles of your arms and torso | TYR Pull Float $11.50
(If nothing else, you'll at least get a good workout carting all these goodies home!)
How will you tighten and tone this year?
