feel the burn.

Though I’m no Tracy Anderson, I can admit to a pretty steady relationship with working out. I embraced this necessary evil once it finally clicked that I feel productive and healthy every time I do it. All I really know about exercise  is the filthier the rap, the longer I can run (everything else I learned from a book at the public library). You might assume I strut to the gym in some supa dupa fly tracksuit, but in actuality I never look dumpier than in my college t-shirt and men’s basketball shorts. I have always thought workout wear was for posers until a recent random purchase of running shorts. I felt like the gym harlot in such short shorts before accepting their comfortable practicality; however, you will never see me pumping iron in a skimpy sports bra (let’s all agree to leave that one to Gabrielle Reece). With my newfound functional fashion discovery has come a flood of ways to spice up my sporty. Perhaps you too will be inspired to flex your abs of style after some motivational retail therapy.
