The only Basketball shoes Stephen Curry wears are loud and squeak

 

Stephen Curry is somewhat known for being criticized by social media for the men's basketball shoes he wears, which have sometimes been criticized for appearing boring. Newer models have reduced those giggles, but one thing has not changed: they live up to their loud reputation.

Loud, indeed. In other words, the basketball shoes squeak quite loudly when they are put on the basketball court, which is by design.

In my opinion, one of the most important features of Curry's shoe is the squeak, according to two people who work at Under Armour.

In an interview with ThePostGame, Kort Neumann explained the things Curry wants in his shoes and why Curry was heavily involved in designing them.

Furthermore, Ron Johnson, a product manager at Under Armour responsible for basketball shoes, told Complex how crucial it is for Curry's basketball shoes to squeak. "The squeak test" is a prerequisite to any shoe design, Johnson says.  

Johnson said it is not acceptable if the player doesn't hear "squeak" right away after stepping on the basketball court.

Despite its importance to Curry, the squeak does serve a purpose.

The fact that the shoe is sticking in the ground, in Neumann's opinion, is something that he considers to be an indicator of "draw a line".

It is easy to imagine why tackiness would be valuable for someone who is reliant on movement and creating shots. This is what Stephen Curry gets from that sound.

It is easy to imagine why tackiness would be valuable for someone who is reliant on movement and creating shots. This is what gives Curry the confidence he needs.

FASHIONING FITNESS FOR WOMEN: THE FASCINATING HISTORY

Athletic wear is a trend in the fashion and sportswear industries

FASHIONING FITNESS FOR WOMEN: THE FASCINATING HISTORY

Most of us don't give too much thought to workout activewear gear as long as it's comfortable and looks decent. Perhaps it is no surprise, then, that up until relatively recently, fitness wear was not readily available for women. The phenomenon of modern exercise apparel only began in the 1970s, when fitness crazes became popular. In spite of this, exercise was still being done by women. Check out the historical evolution of women's sports clothing in the following section.

Sports clothing for women was simply an extension of what they wore on a daily basis during the late 19th century. Think long dresses, heavy fabrics, and cinched waists. Occasionally, hats were worn as well. During those days, sports for women were truly an endurance test because of such full-on outfits. 

It wasn't until the early 20th century that the aesthetic of sportswear really changed. In his 2008 article, Ivo van Hilvoorde emphasizes the importance of this connection in the Dubai s to the conflict between Anglo-Saxon and Continental physical education systems. This article examines the connection between fitness and self-help industries, which demand that people live fit and attractive lives.

According to FitForBeach.NL, there are parallels between the Netherlands and other European countries. During the 1920s, straight silhouettes made women more aware of their bodies. Exercise and dieting were both more popular forms of weight loss. Clothing manufacturers adapted their designs to suit workouts in a similar manner."

During exercise, many women covered up at the expense of their own comfort. A body-hugging romper was worn by the Spanish tennis player Lil* Alvarez in 1929. With British long jumper Muriel Cornell leading the way, shorts and short skirts became a thing in the 1930s.

In the 1960s, the growth of sports outfits for women began with the leotard and active wear in imaginative cuts and vibrant colors. Wedgies, aerobics, lycra and wedgie clothes defined the 80s. Besides, who can forget Jane Fonda's colorful workout outfit, complete with leg warmers?

Women were also beginning to hit the gym during this timeframe. Victoria Lindner wrote an article for the Cosmopolitan in 1984 comparing the gym to a singles bar and telling women that "the activewear you choose for shape-keeping activities must be physically demanding and attractive." She then advises women to invest in three workout attires: "leotards and tights, shorts and a T-shirt, and a fleece or velour warm-up suit."

Leggings and crop tops finally took the avant-garde fashion world by storm in the 1990s. As of 2015, gym clothing had become an everyday item of clothing, with active wear becoming an everyday item. Fortunately, today's fitness clothing options offer more comfort and a more aesthetically pleasing fit than they ever have before.

Consumers discard fast-fashion styles every year in favor of new wardrobes, discarding millions of garments every year. Fortunately, the industry is taking action - but there needs to be more.

1. You'll be prepared if your BFF asks you if you'd like to hit the gym and lounge outside afterward with a matching sports bra and leggings outfit. Also beloved by fitness instructors, this snakeskin pair has a print featuring snakes.
Fitness instructor Kristin Giles says: "I'm always on the lookout for cute workout clothes that are functional...This holds up during HIIT, weightlifting, mixed martial arts, etc.

The tan color and print were my favorite parts of the outfit. For the sports bra, I chose a medium size. As I have a shorter frame, the pants were long, but they were comfortable and squat-proof. I especially liked the waistline because it hugged my waist. Many people complimented me about it. It was a fantastic deal! —Terry J.

This shirt is available for $25.99+ at Amazon (available in 35 colors and patterns in sizes XS-XL).

In addition to its removable padding, the sports bra features a low racerback that gives good support as well as a modest look. The underwire was fully lined and has no uncomfortable seams. I was between sizes L and XL (I'm usually a 38DD for reference), so I sized up to XL for comfort, as I mostly do yoga and low-impact workouts and like to wear sports bras around the house. Sizing down for a tighter fit is recommended if you fall between sizes and do high-impact workouts. I love this bra!—Lukafit Customer .

One size up is often suggested for sizing up by other reviewers.

"I wore the exercise dress on a camping trip and loved it. It is tight enough to feel agile, but not too tight so that it restricts you. It was great for hiking as well! Both climbing large ledges and sliding down giant rocks, the dress never broke or was damaged.

Outdoor Voices is selling it for a price of $100 (available in 16 colors and patterns, sizes XXS to XL).

Underwires are undercut by sports bras

While people wore less clothes and became more fit during the pandemic, the comfy bra had already taken over. With women working at home, comfortable bras are chipping away at the hegemony of underwire, which was once a neglected piece of gym gear.

According to figures from the Sports Bra Association, sports bra sales in Britain increased by a third in the last year to 7.1m as women swapped underwire cups for stretchy elastic. Approximately 10% of total bra sales were accounted for by sports bras, a quarter increase over last year, retailers Kantar said.

Consumers are taking notice of this bra revolution. According to statistics this week, sports and crop top-style bras have been added to the 700 products used by statisticians to calculate inflation rates. According to the annual shake-up report from the Office for National Statistics, men were also being freed from their shackles as the traditional suit - present in the basket since 1947 - was thrown out.

According to the ONS, the pandemic helped Britons become more aware of fitness, and many people exercised at home during a lockdown period as a result. According to the report, the increase in sportswear expenditure was associated with an increase in sportswear expenditure.

While analysts report that women spend more time watching Netflix than exercising, lifestyle changes caused by pandemic lockdowns helped accelerate the "at leisure" trend.

Athleisure-related products are becoming increasingly popular, according to Rebecca Watterson, a consumer insight director at Kantar. People are buying sports bras despite the fact that the [bra] market declined during the pandemic and is now flat.

In lockdown, people showed a big increase in taking part in sports, but the reason for purchasing sports bras is that it's a daytime item - so it's more for comfort."

As Athleisure became mainstream, Soozie Jenkinson, head of lingerie design at Marks & Spencer, said the long-term transition from formal to casual dressing was influencing the style of underwear her customers bought before the pandemic.

 

With an underwire bra in hand, a woman extends her hand. Sales of underwired bras have dwindled since lockdown. The arrival of Covid-19 and the new way of working caused another shift. Women's approach to clothing and bras changed as well as their approach to bras. Comfort became the "number one factor" and there was a shift towards selling non-wired bras, crop tops, and bralettes .

Kantar says women stopped buying bras during the pandemic, while others wore their old ones or toss them altogether, causing reports of the lingerie liberation of lockdown. In the year to 9 February 2020, women bought 75.7m bras, spending nearly £780m, but stores sold 13.1m fewer bras in the first year of the pandemic, wiping off nearly £140 million in sales, Kantar said.

Athleisure is causing the options for bras to become more blurred than they have ever been, Jenkinson says, adding that a "sporty look" is popular in everyday bras as well. "Sports bras have become a very generic term because of the fashion trends that have been going on these days." New hi-tech fabrics, including M&S's Flex fit with its stretch technology, are also affecting the market, as retailers are able to design more seamless and seamless garments, she said.

Shapewear brand Skims has introduced new products with a promising new aesthetic, like the softest, stretches butter fabric" bralette. The firm's sales are booming and the firm was just valued at over £2 billion at a recent fundraising event.

Market researcher Mintel says lingerie consumers are opting for non-wired bras, such as crop tops and bralettes, and high street retailers are happy to capitalize on this trend. There is a John Lewis seam-free bra sold every 25 minutes, and Uniqlo's wire-free bras with moulded silicone cups are also converting underwire users.

 

According to Sender, an increasing focus on health and wellbeing could continue to fuel demand for sports bras, adding that other winds of change are also blowing. "Young women, who tend to be driven by fashion trends, are showing a preference for sexier styles of lingerie such as bodies and bodysuits as pent-up demand for going out and dressing up begins to shift."

 

A bra is dead, but a bra lives on.

Athletic wear is a trend in the fashion and sportswear industries

Basically, it is athletic clothing worn outside of athletic settings. It is a combination of the words athletic and freedom.Fashion's athleisure movement has been fueled by technological innovations in fabrics, the trend of sporty aesthetics, and a body-positive movement.

Activewear clothes for women resurgence on the fashion scene can be credited in large part to athleisure wear on workout clothes, which blends functionality and sleek, minimalistic design. Leggings , active wear and other yoga pants, which can be worn anywhere and at any time, went viral and finally reached premium and luxury brands. As a result, indie brands like Alo Yoga, Vuori Clothing, and Epoque Evolution are disrupting distribution and carving out their niches in this sports fashion industry.

Athleisure's ties to the health and wellness movement, as well as an increasing focus on inclusivity, make it clear it has a long way to go.

Wearing athletic clothing: Combining fashion with a healthy lifestyle

Athleisure is still very much in demand according to Allied Market Research's Global Athleisure Market Report. A valuation of $155.2 billion was placed on the athleisure market in 2018, and in 2026, it is expected to reach $257.1 billion.

According to the NPD Group, everyone from Nike to Primark to Eres has launched athleisure lines in the US alone to compete for this $44 billion market. It is widely believed that athleisure is the signature fashion trend fitness clothing of the 21st century work out outfits so far. "Athletic" and "leisure" combine to form the term.

In July and August, Gymshark's sales in the US increased 150% year-over-year during confinement this year. As reported by Earnest Research, the sports dress company's sales increased 856% in July's first week. Gymshark's expansion wasn't the only athleisure boom, however: Los Angeles-based brand Alo Yoga came in second in web traffic to Gymshark in the US.

People wear athletic apparel in non-athletic settings as part of athletic apparel. For a long time, it was considered "casual clothing , sports wear, athleisure wear intended  exercising and everyday use" for both men and women sports wear, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Sportwear becomes an everyday outfit with its elevated design, gym outfits for women andf gym outfit men

capable of instantly enhancing a look as a result of its decompartmentalization. Sportswear is giving fashion a boost in credibility while fashion is providing sportswear with functional features such as sweat-wicking capabilities, odor resistance, or stretch texture.

Women's athletic wear: An Instagrammable holistic success story

Business Insider spoke with Deirdre Clemente of the University of Nevada, who believes that athleisure mania is fueled by three long-term trends: Firstly, technological advances in synthetic fibers have made products like spandex more durable, washable, and flexible than natural fabrics of sports attire. On behalf of the rise of fitness-conscious appearances has made yoga pants an effective vector for consumption, upon their sportswear brands. Lastly, athletic-casual clothing has gained increasing acceptance in a wide range of social settings. Today's work clothes often contain spandex, Lycra, and other synthetic fibers that are inspired by sports.

By launching sports outfits first pair of Boogie Pants in 1998, Lululemon pioneered the sports wear for women category and focused on the underserved female demographic: the athletic "super girls" active wear women. The brand considers itself a technical streetwear player and workout outfits for women where fashion does not overwhelm function.

Despite the word appearing in the Merriam-Webster dictionary only in 2016, it can be traced back to a 1970s advertisement. In 1977, the bestselling book "The Complete Book of Running" by James Fixx, which fueled the jogger mania in America, marked a turning point in sports aesthetics.

Through the craze for aerobics and dancing in the 80's, the glamazon archetype of a health-conscious glam goddess rose to fame. In addition to Olivia Newton John's "Physical" music video and Jane Fonda's fitness sessions, movies such as women’s workout outfits and gym outfit for ladies fueled the neon leotard and leg warmer trend outside of gyms. Due to this, sportswear brands began making clothing with athletic performance in mind of sports clothing brands. Synthetic fiber clothing allows athletes to perform better and move more freely due to its improved quality.

With the help of Puma and Topshop, key influencers Beyonce and Rihanna introduced sport clothes for womens  the mainstream in 2016, using Instagram as a runway for commercial success. Beyonce's athleisure label, Ivy Park, is one of the most-followed athleisure brands on Instagram in 2020, alongside other celebrity-backed brands such as Fabletics and Doyoueven.

Instagram has transformed a sporty trend into a holistic way of life. There were numerous selfie-friendly, kinetic details of sports brands shown in celebrity "behind the scenes" scenarios. Fitness influencers and celebrities began mixing and matching leggings with non-sportswear to make their outfits more versatile, which prompted their millions of followers to adopt a more laid-back style.

They frequently share details about their daily lives on social media and sponsor stylish gym outfits brands. In addition to celebrities and influencers, Fabletics also recruits a wide range of influencers and bloggers to promote their products.

Authenticity and inclusivity are at the heart of independent activewear brands

Formerly, the athletic brand used to cater to the performance-only buyer, but new entrants have filled the void left by the sportswear industry with client-centric designs, merchandising reworking, and expanded offerings. In contrast to traditional advertising, these digitally native vertical brands (DNVB) do little to no advertising or celebrity endorsement, helping them build more authentic brands.

As brands that embrace real women's bodies, these brands remain a brand clients can relate to because they embody real woman's bodies. With their ability to market themselves as a lifestyle brand and find a niche that consumers can relate to, they have been able to thrive in a fiercely competitive market.

Segmentation is a key driver of innovation: rather than traditional sizing, Lululemon divides the pants into five different categories: "hugged, naked, relaxed, tight and held-in." These categories all have their own function in the customer's journey.

Sweaty Betty's figure-sculpting leggings and its athleisure counterparts were designed to change shapeless sportswear, providing understated tonal colors like black, gray or navy with quality fabric.

In 2016, Kristin Hildebrand, former Creative Concept Director of Nike's women's business, launched a new premium priced athleisure brand. One is currently the only female sportswear brand on the market using a material that is 35% lighter, dries 75% faster than competitive fabrics, and is guaranteed for 50,000 washes. As she also proudly points out, these fabrics cost between $20 and $25 per yard. The membership process is also important, since in order to buy a product, you have to apply for membership.

DAY/WON makes size-inclusive clothing, and the brand was founded by body positive model Candice Huffine. When she herself couldn't find appropriate athleisure for herself, the model created her own activewear line, which today offers clothes to women of all shapes and sizes. There are sizes ranging from 0 to 32 included in the line, which is truly inclusive.

Boody is a fashion brand which embodies sustainable fashion with its athleisure collection. The brand uses organic bamboo grown in China: it is only treated with water and does not contain pesticides; it is harvested, dehydrated, and knitted into fabric.

According to Marshal Cohen, the chief industry advisor of retail at NPD Group, the most powerful ratchet effect of Athleisure is convenience. Athleisure is not going away anytime soon, as when you have comfort and function combined with fashion, it is hard to go back to anything else.

With our AI solution, any fashion brand can successfully embrace the athleisure trend and deliver the products their clients desire by analyzing millions of kinetic details on social media every day.

How To Have A Fantastic Sports Fashion With Minimal Spending in Dubai?

 

Fitness clothes designed by designers are based on the idea that if you look great, you'll do more exercise. In one way, this is true.

People don't necessarily mean ACTUAL sportswear when they say sportswear is in fashion. Sporty clothes designed by Sports fashion designers. However, despite designers' love for telling us that they take inspiration from the streets, that doesn't mean they should dress like it. Sometimes this is because the designers have improved the styles or sometimes this is simply to get your money.

Since exercise clothes have become expensive in the past few years, it's easy to spend over a thousand dirhams on a designer sports bra! It's an amazing time to be alive! Since Adidas and Nike began swooshing and striping their clothes, the price of their sportswear has been rising steadily. The fact that Adidas collaborated with designers like Stella McCartney and Yohji Yamamoto, enabling it to charge even more for overpriced clothes, was a great capitalist innovation. In launching its new Net-a-Sporter category last year, Net-a-Porter joined the fun, with women able to spend 180$ on yoga pants and 500$ on hooded tunic tops that are an essential part of every fitness regimen.

The situation here isn't hard to understand. Exercising regularly is no longer just about good health - it's becoming similar to buying groceries at Whole Foods on a daily basis. The reason you do it isn't just that you'll be healthier, but that you have both money and time on your hands. Plus, you are probably feeling a bit smug as well. Exercise takes time, and people with full-time jobs and families may not have the time to exercise. Then in the next breath they discuss their personal trainer, as if everyone can have time to exercise as Stella McCartney or Madonna say.

Gwyneth Paltrow is passionate about this subject - She was bound to come up here, you knew that – and It is absolutely possible for a mom to be a great mother, and she often writes about how she does it ,As Gwynnie would probably put it, she is Smartest, hard-working and possesses a hot body. It seems she is unaware that most women cannot exercise daily as she does - she seems unaware it is not the case for most women. The hours are 10am to noon, according to her. There are countless dress fittings, appearances on The Voice, and photo shoots with Annie Leibovitz for celebrities, so I know how busy their lives must be. This isn't like having a boss and not having childcare, but they aren't quite getting it. To be able to fit an hour of exercise into your week, let alone two a day, is a privilege – not evidence of moral superiority.

Additionally, there are costs involved. Even though running is free, what if you don't like running because you want to have knee joints in your fifties? You will maintain your beauty, but your knees will be damaged! A personal trainer can cost you $$$$, A tennis club can be joined ($$$), Attend a fitness class (Paid) or jump into a communal pool for an hour ($$). Besides the overpriced exercise clothes, there's still the gym membership. Since exercise is becoming a lifestyle statement, it's really not a surprise. Last year, a journalist wrote: “This practice has become the norm in Dubai, UAE where parents go to the school run in yoga pants, then drop off their kids at yoga, Pilates, or Zumba classes. Where does this trend go from here?

Exercise clothes with a good price tag are supposed to encourage you to exercise more since you will look good in them. I know from my experience that this is nonsense, as I am fortunate enough occasionally to exercise. Despite the fact that it is already a problem, people worry too much about what others think. But there are two periods in a person's life during which they should not be overly concerned about their looks because it will be detrimental to them: during sex and during physical activity. Having sought medical help, I would never wear an exercise outfit worth more than 1400 AED. Is that reasonable? I feel sick to my stomach when I'm sweaty and gross in an outfit costing 1400 AED. The only clothing I wear is 75 AED leggings and a 50 AED vest top. There's nothing more you need. The salesperson didn't sell you the concept that you have to wear special fabric to wick away your sweat because you're not Jessica Ennis-Hill.

A little exercise can brighten your mood, improve your self-confidence, and make you healthier. The beauty of it is that it is not a lifestyle statement and does not necessitate the expenditure of thousand dirhams. Dressing like a poseur is a bad idea for your biceps, darling, and posing is awful for your biceps as well.

Check out these 10 smart ways to shop on a budget before hitting the mall for workout clothes and fancy sports gear.

 

1. Check out non-sports-gear stores in UAE.

Shopping smart means avoiding specialty stores that offer only workout clothes

(If you think about Adidas, Puma, Nike or other running specialty stores, you'll get the idea). Due to the fact that they attract enthusiasts willing to spend more, these stores usually sell more expensive brands.

Choose a store that carries a variety of activewear instead. Even Forever 21 and Old Navy sell cheap, stylish workout gear. The prices on their products tend to be decent for women.

You can also find good workout clothes at off-price department stores like Max, Splash, Carrefour and Lulu. You can find name-brand items for much less at these stores.

2. Go shopping online.

The online shopping industry has grown in recent years thanks to quick shipping and simple return procedures. Virtually all reputable retailers have an online store these days. You can view available styles, sizes, colors, and ratings when shopping online, and can read reviews as well.

Online retailers that carry different brands are also an option. With this option, you can choose from multiple labels at once. Noon.com, Amazon.ae, the largest online retailer in UAE, has a good customer support system that allows for returns.

Shoppers should scrutinize comments before making a purchase online for details on fit and quality. They will tell you how big or small you must size up or down if the item is a good buy.

5. Subscribe to the Email newsletter.

Sign up for their newsletters if you can't resist buying from an expensive brand. There are exceptions, so it's important to do your homework on the brands you love. (Just wait until we discuss seasonal sales in Dubai, UAE).

Storewide sales and special offers will usually be highlighted in newsletters. When it comes to bid sales in Dubai, UAE such as Black Friday and l Yellow Friday or weekend, they will let you know what discounts to expect. The news will keep you abreast of new items, so you can watch for them and get them when they go on sale.

 

4. Find bargain goods by identifying the brands you love.

Use the terms "strappy" or "push up" in your online searches if you like strappy push-up sports bras from Victoria's Secret. This means you can find brand-name bargains that look like bargains, so there is no reason to settle.

It's easy to narrow down results when using Amazon.ae’s search engine and filter options. A variety of trendy items can be found here. With a price starting at just 49 AED, this padded sports bra by Yianna looks like a pricey brand. However, it doesn't cost a fortune!

3. Don't focus too much on brand names.

The good news is that name Fashion brands often cost more than they are worth, despite their exclusive designs and reliable quality. Clothing of similar quality is available from other Sports brands at much lower prices.

However, Max / Splash's prices are way out of reach for anyone on a budget, regardless of how stylish their clothes are. There are alternatives available online. As the logo will not be present, it won't be possible to tell the difference.

There are many bargain brands that cater to style-conscious shoppers. They don't have to be frumpy to be affordable. Wear your favorite styles for a trendy look. Recently, mesh has been used in various designs by many brands. This long yoga leggings outfit is perfect for yoga class thanks to its cooling mesh cutouts and under 60 AED price.

 

6. Wear layers throughout the year by purchasing pieces that you can layer.

During the summer and winter, both summer and winter workout tops can be worn. All you need to do is layer them. You can layer up and wear any workout shirt during cooler months with a decent long sleeve, high neck sports jacket. Check out this jacket from Sun and Sand Sports. In addition to its high neck to provide wind protection, thumb holes to keep the sleeves from riding up, and a full zipper for easy layering, this shirt is also perfect for wearing as a dress.

A tank top or camisole can be worn underneath. A long-sleeved workout shirt is appropriate for very cold days.

Adding lightweight leggings to your workout wardrobe also makes them an excellent layering piece. In the summer, you can wear them alone and, in the winter, you can wear them under sweatpants. There are lots of fun prints available in these leggings from Sun and Sand Sports.

The more pieces you have in your wardrobe, the more money you can save. As a result, you can also afford to purchase better quality clothes.

 

7. Buy colors from the previous season.

With regards to workout gear, the styles aren't much different from year to year. Mesh panels can be added to pants and backs can be added to tops, but the concept stays the same overall. Practicality and comfort are emphasized. Athletic Clothing should be comfortable and breathable.

Considering that styles remain mostly the same, shopping from last season's picks can save you money without compromising your style. Online or at outlet stores, you can find previous seasons.

 

8. Purchase shoes from outlets.

Choosing running shoes isn't an easy task. It makes all the difference when you're running to have a good quality shoe with proper support. Besides bracing your ankles and cushioning your soles, they also provide arch support and help your stride balance out. If you're unsure of the quality of an off-brand shoe, it's difficult to settle for it. Find out what the top things to consider are in this article.

An outlet store is a smart way to buy running shoes for this reason. A well-known outlet store is Sun and Sand Sports. Their products are highly discounted. Although, Nike is not the only outlet store you can find there. There are also Nike, Rebook, and other outlets there.

Running shoes can often be found for less than half their original price at outlet stores. Find out if your preferred model is available in last year's colors to receive further discount.

 

9. During seasonal sales, stock up on items.

Seasonal sales are often held by stores to dispose of old stock (especially brand name stores). Prices can be discounted as much as 50% during these sales. Additionally, most of their outgoing collection will be on display (usually just a few months old).

During the summer and right after Christmas, you may find sales. Consumer Reports recommends winter sports gear shopping in December and February, and summer gear shopping in June.

 

10. Invest in packs of basic items.

You always wear the same basic items over and over again, no matter what style you follow. This is an area where you can save a lot of money by buying in bulk.

They are available in packs of one, four, or six. They look great with nearly every gym outfit and come in a variety of colors.

That is our list of the top ten budget-friendly tips on how to buy workout clothes! You can achieve greater results in the gym if you wear clothes that you enjoy, leading to higher motivation. You should also know that you can get good fitness gear without emptying your bank account. Follow these tips for saving money on fitness gear. Good luck!
