Break a sweat...fashionably!

Keeping fit and regular exercise is something really important to me. I've realised it keeps me focused during stressful times, a great way to escape whats going on in the world and just gives me motivation in all areas of everyday life. If you haven't got the fitness bug, I would suggest trying out different forms of exercise until you find one that you enjoy doing, because that will be what ultimately keeps you motivated to carry on doing it.
Having designed for the sportswear industry I have to say that I find it very hard to buy cheap sportswear clothing! By cheap I mean with no performance function in terms of material, cut, sport suitability and overall product quality/longevity.
I have a slight soft spot for pretty sportswear though...who wouldn't! Here are some pieces that I really love but sadly cannot buy simply for looking pretty! There are only so many sport bras and jogging pants one can own before looking like you have more clothes to break a sweat in that actually wear from day to day.
