All of the fitness essentials you need to smash your New Year's resolution to get fit

Some might opt for a brand new gym membership or invest in a package at a yoga or pilates studio and others may sign up for an app-based fitness program that can be done anywhere (Sweat is one of our favs!) -- there is no wrong way to get active.

However, finding the motivation to workout once February rolls around can be challenging. But one thing that always seems to add a little pep to our step is a killer fitness outfit. From new sneakers to a matching bra and legging set, feeling powerful and confident is a great way to start any workout.
