Five Workout Essentials To Set You On The Right Path
Words by Emma Pradella
9 January 2023
The festivities are officially over, and so are, regrettably, the excuses to ignore that new fitness plan we said we’d stick to come January. Whether new year resolutions are still a thing or not, when it comes to fitness, “new year, new you” just doesn’t get old. So, if you’ve spent your holidays building a home gym, you’ve started trail running or you’ve become a regular at Third Space (or none of the above, but are planning to get back on track), we’ve picked five of our favourite workout essentials to renew your enthusiasm and ensure you’re the most stylish man in the weights room.
01.
The Satisfy layered shorts
02.
The Hoka One One ultra-lightweight sneakers
Hoka One One is named after a Māori phrase meaning “fly over the earth”, and for good reason: the brand produces some of the most lightweight sneakers around. This M Arahi 6 pair is a case in point – aerating mesh uppers sit on the label’s patented J-Frame™ midsoles, which provide stability and cushioning.
03.
The lululemon stretchy track pants
Whether you’ve got a Hiit class on the cards or you’re practicing yoga, lululemon’s track pants will help you go the extra mile. They’re made from recycled shell that’s water-repellent and stretchy for ease of movement, and are finished with an antimicrobial No-Stink Zinc™ treatment that minimises odour.
04.
The Outdoor Voices “All Day” T-shirt
If you don’t always have time to change into a new outfit post-workout (you’re a busy man, we get it), hear us out. Albeit designed for sports – and made from the brand’s signature CloudKnit stretch-jersey – Outdoor Voices’ T-shirt, dubbed “All Day”, may just be what your gym bag is missing…
05.
The Pendleton printed yoga mat
Can’t decide between Bikram, ashtanga and kundalini? Get the mat, and the right style of yoga will follow… How about a printed design that’s sure to stand out amid a sea of neutrals? Don’t mind if we suggest Pendleton’s, designed in collaboration with Yeti Yoga.
