New Year, new you.

‘Tis the season of big promises, vows and commitments to quit smoking, stop drinking and… hit the gym on daily basis. If you (too) feel like your resolutions are not going to stick, no worries – you’re in good company. Luckily, we’ve got something to boost your motivation and your workout wardrobe, of course.

A great gym bag is a fitness essential – and your best friend – for the months to come, so it’s worth spending some time and money to find the right one. Next, on the footgear – find the shoe that works with your sports routine, be it zumba or kickboxing. A pair of workout-friendly yet flattering leggings and a motivational t-shirt complete the picture.

Final tip? What you wear to the gym can go a long way toward helping you stay happy and confident — and can even improve your workout performance, experts say. So go ahead and indulge in some stunning and functional pieces that will keep you company throughout 2015.
