Let me tell you how much I’m loving being active this year! I don’t know about you but part of my motivation to workout and stay fit is in part inspired by what I wear. Yes, I get the health benefits (I have an MPH … trust me, I know) – but there is something just so motivating about looking amazing in your activewear.

So today I’m sharing with you some of my favorite activewear brands for us #thickums aka curvy girls.

1. All black errthang

I love all black at the gym. Black is instantly slimming and on those days when I feel less than beautiful, wearing all black makes me feel safe and comfortable.

2. Stuntin … yeah I said it

Sometimes you want to let em know that you are that girl! And so you go all out and just remind them that you got all that sauce even in your activewear.

3. Prints and Solids 

I love picking a base solid color and then highlighting a print. The print is usually in the tank top or the tights that I workout in.

4. Mix and match

I mix and match – a whole lot! Working out at 5:30am doesn’t leave much time for me to think through how pretty I will look at the gym. My focus is on wearing comfortable pieces that will carry me through the workout. So I mix and match brands and colors as well. And if I’ve done this purchasing thing right, at the end of the day, whatever I thrown on, will look amazing!
