Elevate Your Fitness Routine: Stylish Activewear Must-Haves for Spring

As spring begins to bloom in Glasgow, there's a refreshing sense of renewal in the air. The days are getting longer, the weather is warming up, and it's the perfect time to shake off the winter blues and embrace a healthier, more active lifestyle. Staying fit and healthy is not just about what you eat; it's about being intentional with your exercise routine. As someone who's been struggling to stay motivated with home workouts, I'm excited to share some stylish indoor sportswear essentials that are perfect for getting back on track.

With the promise of warmer days ahead, I'm gearing up to join a new fitness class and take my workouts outdoors. Whether you're hitting the gym, going for a run in the park, or sweating it out at home, having the right activewear is essential for feeling comfortable, confident, and ready to conquer any workout. And that's where Berlook comes in, a sustainable brand on a mission to end disposable plastic materials.

It's a really cool brand that cares about our planet. They're all about stopping plastic waste and helping the Earth. You know, plastic doesn't go away and can hurt our oceans. But Berlook has a solution - they make swimwear from recycled materials! Isn't that awesome?

They're super proud that all their swimwear is made from stuff that's been recycled and certified by the Global Recycled Standard. That means they're helping the environment and making sure their swimwear is soft and stretchy too! And get this - each swimsuit top is made from about 5 plastic bottles! That's a lot of bottles saved from hurting our oceans.

Berlook wants us to help too! They say if we all use more recycled stuff, we can make a big difference for our planet. So let's join them and make our oceans clean and happy! Go Berlook!

 Fitness and fashion go hand in hand. Getting the perfect body to fit into your dress is what most ladies want.

While training your waist you should also train your booty because a good booty looks good with a trimmed well-trained waist. An all-around fit look is a real deal and always a show-stopper.

A fresh fitness journey comes with a lot of obstacles and curveballs to overcome. One of those obstacles may come before you even step into the gym. Gym intimidation comes in a number of forms and is never pretty, but always normal. Whether you’re not sure where to begin or not where you want to be physically just yet, feeling nervous or uncomfortable in a gym setting is common.

If you’re stuck in the mindset that everyone will be watching you, judging your performance and knowledge, you’re not alone. But it definitely doesn't have to be that way. The gym can actually be home to a supportive community that may be beneficial to your health and fitness.

Whether it’s lack of knowledge or fear of being alone, read on to find out what might be causing your gym intimidation and how to overcome it. Then, check out our helpful infographic with quick tips for beating gym intimidation at the bottom.


I don’t know what to do.
More likely than not, when you joined your gym you got the grand tour of the place. You know the layout and what it has to offer, but get lost when it comes to what exactly you should do. From cardio to strength training, without a plan, the gym can feel more like stress or than stress relief.

Use Aaptiv to guide your workouts. With trainer-led classes for every cardio machine and the weight room, the app will help you exercise confidently as if you had a personal trainer by your side. You’re able to try out different workout styles and figure out what type of exercise you like best. Then you can start to better plan your gym visits. Before you step foot in the gym you should have an idea of what you want to do and how long you want to do it (and, of course, factor in a warm-up and cool-down). This way you know what you’re in for ahead of time and won’t get bored.



I don’t know how to use the machines or weights.
This is especially common for beginners. With all the different machines, weights, and areas of the gym, it’s hard to know exactly how everything works at first. First, if you’re already at the gym and find yourself unsure how to use something, ask an employee. They’re there to help you and keep you safe, which means they know the ins and outs of every machine in the place. Different gyms offer different versions of machines as well, so check with them to see how each specific one works.

Insecure about asking for help? Don’t be! Everybody had to start it somewhere. Who knows, you may even learn something someone too afraid to ask doesn’t know and be able to help them out.

You’ll be a pro in no time.
Want to go in with a good idea of how things work? We’ve got you covered. We’ve already gone into detail on each cardio machine. Here’s a quick rundown.
Treadmill: First, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with those buttons (starting with quick start and speed). Once that’s covered, and you’re ready to get on, place one leg on each side of the belt, on the rubber strips. Press the quick-start button, which will start the treadmill at its slowest speed (0.5 or one, in most cases). Step on the belt and begin walking at this speed, slowly increasing until you’re at a moderate pace. Feeling comfortable? Test higher speeds and put on a treadmill routine (like “Run, Recover, Run”).

Elliptical: Start with a good grip on the handlebars and step in. The pedals may look huge, but that’s OK! The extra room provides comfort. Align your feet and get into proper form (you know the drill). From there, pick a set of handlebars to hold onto (stationary bars for stabilizing or moving bars for upper bodywork). Keep a light hold and a bend in the elbows, then get pedaling! Remember to bend your knees slightly as well. Start off at a moderate pace—no incline or resistance. Then pick your routine and work with a smooth pedaling motion.


Stair Climber: Lightly place your fingertips on the front or sidebars. You should actually be able to go without touching the bars at all, but using them for balance (especially as a beginner) is perfectly fine. Step on and check your form. Don’t stand completely straight—that’s overcorrecting. Instead, lean forward just a tad. Now begin at a comfortable, moderate pace (seeing a pattern, here?). Slow down if you find yourself clutching the bars to keep up. Avoid hop-like steps and keep your entire foot on each stair as you walk.
Indoor Bike: Begin with adjusting your seat height and handlebars. You want your leg to be almost (but not quite) straight when reaching for the pedal at the bottom. As for handlebars, you want to reach out to them at shoulder level comfortably. Next, strap your feet in. Then check your form. Chest up, shoulders down, and avoid hunching your back. Adjusted and strapped in? Time to get moving. Ride like you would a normal back, not just with your toes. Start with the ball of your foot and push through to your heel as you press down. Pull up using the top of your foot.

As for weights, we suggest you research how to use each type of weight beforehand. Start off light and stick with weights that are challenging, but not too challenging. Then pay close attention to your Aaptiv coach’s directions. Regardless of the weight routine, he or she will guide you on how to use the equipment correctly.


I feel lonely or singled out.
Walking into a gym by yourself can a strange experience. We definitely recommend enlisting a workout buddy to keep you motivated and accountable. But if no one’s free, try a class. In a class setting, almost everyone’s attention is on the instructor, so you don’t have to worry about being singled out. You also don’t have to worry about not knowing what to do. Unless the instructor performs the same class every week, everyone’s bound to be surprised by a few moves.

Classes can also make you feel more involved or a part of your gym. You may even find some like-minded friends in the mix.
Playing sports is a favorite fun activity for people of all ages across the world. In fact, it is not just a fun activity, there are several surprising health benefits of playing sports. It helps controlling diabetes, lower cholesterol levels, lower stress levels and hypertension, manage weight. It also helps in the strengthening of bones and toning of muscles.

When you hear Zumba, what comes to mind? If I am not mistaken, almost every young person knows about Zumba fitness and wears.

Today, I will be sharing the Zumba Energy Boom Shoes with you. This is truly the best light-weight shoe for sports in general and for dancing.

When preparing to buy dance shoes, they need to feel like they fit perfectly. The term "fits like a glove" aptly applies. The fit and feel of the shoe will vary slightly for shoe types designed for a specific type of dance. All types of dance shoes should fit snugly on the foot. Once a foot is inside the dance shoe (and laced up, when applicable), it should not be able to move within the shoe.

The right dancing shoes make all the difference in one’s comfort, stamina, and ability to execute tricky dance moves. Dance shoes must withstand a tremendous amount of wear and tear without breaking or failing in any way. All dance shoes have a suede bottom to allow for a certain amount of sliding and spinning while still gripping the floor and allowing for powerful movement. However, depending on which styles you dance (standard, Latin, smooth, and rhythm), you may need different shoes.


It is important that the shoe not be too loose, as the foot will be unable to properly grip and could throw you off balance. If the shoe is too tight, you will not have proper flexibility, and the tightness could cause serious injuries. Choosing a shoe that is half a size or one size smaller than the ordinary shoe size should be close to the proper dance fit. The difference between snug and tight can be very slight, so it is important to understand how the shoe should feel. A snug shoe should be form-fitting to the foot. There should be just enough room to wiggle the toes without slipping in the heel. A dance shoe that is too tight will hurt immediately. The foot will feel uncomfortable, and even the simplest movements will be hindered. If the feet hurt, even before any activity, the shoe is too small. Dance shoes should feel comfortable on the foot in order to accommodate the hours of practice and performance. A brand new pair of dance shoes should feel tight, but not painfully so. Over time and use, the material will stretch and loosen up.

If you are buying the shoes online, remember that many shoe brands are European and use a different sizing system than shoes in North America, so always contact the company via email before buying with measurements of your foot to be sure.

It’s hard to find the time to fit everything into a busy lifestyle and exercise usually ends up at the very bottom of the to do list. We all know that working out if good for us but hitting the gym can seem like just another chore that needs to get done. There are a few things you can do to make fitting in a workout slightly easier for you. From making sure you've got all the right gym bag essentials to learning how to make the most of your free time, it’s often easier to fit in a workout than you realize.

Here is a perfect work out set for your workout.
As kids and growing youths, we played outdoors with friends, walked to school, and played on sports teams. But what is better for you? Exercising in the great outdoors, or signing up for a gym and pounding away on running machines, as thousands will do as part of their weekly activities.

For most of us, a lack of exercise wasn’t a concern. It turns out that all that fresh air and exercise we enjoyed as kids, and would do well to keep up as adults, offers more in the way of health benefits than most of us ever knew.

During the cold weather going to the gym seems much harder. But for some of us, winter is not an impediment but an opportunity to push ourselves a little harder to run, bike and even swim outside. Outdoor exercise might save you the price of a gym membership, as long as you’re careful.
When it comes to looking at your gym bag essentials, first thing to remember is to keep your bag fresh! There is nothing worse than a stinky kit bag being traipsed around the gym or changing rooms. Keep your bag clean!
So the frist thing on our list is our  Training Clothes should be fit over fashion. Don't waste time worrying about your gym attire.
 Shakers : World premiere for our new unique protein shakers completely covered in our signature patterns! Our first batch was sold out in 2 hours - but now the big refill is on it's way. Good

Shoes :If you're an advanced lifter, you may prefer lifting shoes to traditional cross-trainers or running shoes. Whatever choice you make, make sure it provides the support you need for the type of training you will do. Box jumps or running in sandals would turn out even worse than it would look.


There has always been a wide speculation about diet and exercise. The question is, which is more effective?. 
While hitting the gym has many great health boons, it might not be the best way to lose weight, When you set your sights on weight loss, the formula seems easy: work out more, eat less. But a new study shows that it might be more about what you eat, putting truth to the idiom "abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym."
In 2013, researchers from Loyola University began looking into the relative power of diet and exercise as they relate to moving the scale. They thought they'd discover that exercise would prove to be a crucial component for weight loss. Two years later, though, the science shows that the largest driver behind obesity is not how sedentary people are but instead how poor their diet is.
"Physical activity is crucially important for improving overall health and fitness levels, but there is limited evidence to suggest that it can blunt the surge in obesity," the study authors explained. The more you work out, the more your appetite increases.

Of course, this new Loyola study isn't the first to come to this conclusion. Research has consistently shown for years now that exercise doesn't necessarily lead to weight loss. In a meta-analysis published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics last year, for example, researchers found that people only lost noticeable weight if they combined exercise and calorie restriction.
This is the problem with most weight-loss advice, the Loyola researchers said, which often puts statements like "take the stairs instead of the elevator" or "walk 10,000 steps a day" on par with calorie restriction.

The powers of a steady fitness routine are very impressive, regular exercise can help you build stronger muscles, stave off chronic illnesses, and make your clothes fit a whole lot better. But there's another benefit of physical activity that deserves a shout-out: the way even moderate amounts seem to shave years off your age, no matter how many birthdays you've actually celebrated. Of course, you can't change your chronological age, but exercise can improve your health to the point where you look and feel younger than you are.

But just before the tips and hints on how to look younger without surgery, There is something really practical which I have tested and found useful. Training In the appropriate sportswear doesn't only give you a nice look but adds gear and zeal to your training. The sexiness feel and strength that comes along with wearing the correct training wear gives you the motivation to train.

Standing before the gym mirror taking cool selfies makes you wanna go to the gym, even more, looking good. Here is a set to own that makes you feel good.

Björn Borg sportswear, is multi versatile wear for Tennis, running, training, yoga. Whatever your activity of choice, do it looking and feeling your absolute best.

Obtaining that perfect body is a struggle for all of us and often requires hours of strenuous training in the gym.  Despite our best efforts, results aren’t noticeable for a few weeks, we’re all aware of new products and diets that guarantee inches and pounds lost over the course of a month.
