I’ve been working out consistently for over two years now, but there are two things that I started to do differently just in the past month. First, I’ve started running! Out of all the workout routines that I’ve done over the years, running is my favorite! It’s so mind-freeing — it’s just me, my music (of course I always listen to my girl, Bey!), and my ability to reach my goal for the day. I found an app that really works for me – RUNNING for weight loss PRO: Workout and Meal Plans. Before starting this app, I had never run any significant distance in my life! Now, after my 20th running session, I can run/walk 3.5 miles in one 45 minute workout! So proud of myself 🙂

Secondly, I joined a gym! No matter the regiment, I’ve always worked out a home. Even when I started running last month, I ran around my house, fearful of running outside and looking like a fool in front of the neighbors. Ha! As I got better at running, I realized that I needed to up my game: both in terms of intensity and motivation. My daughter recently joined Planet Fitness and I was able to try out the facilities before purchasing my own membership. I love going to the gym! Just being in the workout environment gets me very focused on what I need to do, and the monthly membership payments motivate me to go, even when I don’t want to.

Sooo… I’m loving my Wantable Fitness subscription right now. I’m less concerned about how I look to others at the gym, and more interested in feeling good about my workout sessions. The selections from Wantable Fitness help me to do that!

In any case, if you aren’t familiar with Wantable, here’s what you need to know:

So, here are the items that I received in my Wantable Fitness box this month! Let me know what you think!

Lukka Lux Pallisades Pullover. Price to keep: $72

Style note: This oversized asymmetric pullover features zig zag mesh cuff sleeves, hood and thumbhole.

Status: Returned

So I don’t get the asymmetrical part here. In fact, the top is so dark that it’s hard to appreciate any of the details. The mesh cuff and hood is actually very nice, but would be better seen offset from the main color of the top. This is a good piece to throw on when in transit to and from the gym. I need a piece like this, but don’t love this one enough to keep.

Track & Bliss Mirage Legging. Price to keep: $88

Style note: These compression capris are ready for anything. They have mesh detail along the side for extra breathability plus amazing textured moisture wicking fabric so you’ll look and feel great.

Status: Returned

Wow! Compression garments are supposed to help with blood circulation during exercise. I’m not sure if that’s really true or not but, the way these leggings feel, I imagine they might do some sort of good if I ran in them. be They are much thicker than other leggings I own. I really sweat when I run and I’m concerned that the thickness of these would lead to me leaving large puddles around the treadmill. Stylistically, I think the black mesh on the side gets lost in the dark blue color of the rest of the legging. Returning these until I read up more on the benefits of wearing compression garments.

Lukka Lux Flora Open Back Tee. Price to keep: $59

Style note: This is not just your average tee, as it combines modern and traditional style lines. The classic tee highlights ultimate feminine style with an open back. Moisture wicking: 4-way stretch performance fabric.

Status: Returned

I appreciate the moisture wicking , which is supposed to pull the moisture away from your body but, I’m just not feeling all of these morbid black pieces. The open back is nice though.

Shape Active Essential Tank. Price to keep: $48

Style note: This relaxed fit tank features an elegantly draped back with a box pleat, seam detail at hem and tonal stitching. Silky finish with a 4-way stretch will make this the perfect tank for any workout. Wear with your favorite sports bra. Moisture wicking.

Status: Returned

Just Live Circuit Cropskin with Mesh. Price to keep: $79

Style note: Fall in love… with cropskins! This fun design will have you head over heels. The Fall inspired colors and ankle mesh provides you with style and comfort for any workout you take on.

Status: Returned

These pieces are the opposite of black! Very colorful and vibrant! I like these, but the colors are too far “out there” for me. I don’t get the Fall color theme… I think the colors are more suited for Spring or late Summer. The quality of the garments are top notch. Both pieces would last for quite a while. I do like the pleat in the back of the top, as it gives a little character to an otherwise boring piece.

Glyder Armhole Twist Tank. Price to keep: $48

Style note: Throw on this unique, “hand-twist” detail tank over your favorite bra and go. Your workout wardrobe is in need of a versatile, lightweight, laser cut layer created in luxuriously soft performance fabric.

Status: KEPT!

Glyder Elongate Legging. Price to keep: $74

Style note: Bring your workouts to life in these performance leggings. Moisture wicking, FormaFlex fabric. Hidden pocket in waistband and a double lined gusset. Slit inner pocket at waist. Transition from gym, to yoga, to errands in these “no frills” leggings.

Status: Returned

The leggings are definitely “no frills”, but are good quality. I could use them, but don’t need them. I NEED this top! This is the perfect lightweight piece for a massive sweater like me. And, it’s really cute! I wore this to the gym last night and loved it! Funny that I got a similar piece in my last Fitness box and didn’t like it so much. Nonetheless, I found my keeper!
