Leggings For Squats
Flat Defined Abs, Perky Butt, Toned Legs, Chiseled Arms... Shoot We're Lucky If We Can Check Just One Off This List.
I've made it a priority to focus on my fitness as a means to deal with stress and anxiety. Most importantly, I feel good when I look good. So, I'm working on my fitness friends. Half the battle is motivating yourself to get out of bed and get to the gym in the AM or in some instances make it to the gym after a long day of work and dealing with whatever life has thrown at you that day.
The other battle is finding leggings that don’t require adjustment after each set. It’s also so important to have the right gear at the gym because nothing feels worse than a wedgie during a squat set. I also feel motivated when I have a dope workout outfit and if you look good in it, it will definitely motivate you to push harder. When I got the opportunity to try the Celestial Bodiez collection, I was all for it because,
I def needed that extra oomph of motivation
It's made by a woman for women
I trolled their Instagram account and was impressed by the incredibly fit ladies. While my body type is not muscular, I certainly do wish to add a bit more muscle and become stronger
I wanted to see if it passed the wedgie test
The last thing I want to worry about at the gym is having to stop mid-set to fix my leggings or top. My focus needs to be on my form, workout routine, and maintaining my endurance. Whenever I get new gear to try, I take 30 days to test it as much as possible and see if it's worth the coins. I tried out their signature high-waisted Galaxy leggings ($69.99) that are limited edition. They release new styles frequently, so check out their website for the latest drop: https://cbcollective.com/
I tried both my usual routine (squats, bench press, cycling, circuit training) and also some new moves which have now become my workout staples such as jump ropes and Smith machine squats. Not once did I worry about adjusting my outfit which we know we fidget with during high-intensity moves.
My favorite part of the leggings? I honestly feel like they made me look more in shape than I really am! What's in that material?!! Who knows, but it's soft, forgiving and comfortable! I'm excited to keep trying new fitness routines and hopefully get a bit more toned and lifted in the process!
