Oh, active wear! If loving you is wrong, then I don’t want to be right… haha! But seriously, I love my active wear and I don’t care who knows it!

Don’t get me wrong, I definitely wear my activewear to increase my ability for movement and fitness. But that ends up happening in so many ways each day that I tend to wear it all.the.time!

Don’t mind me, just wearing my active wear with a button down shirt, out for a nice stroll around our neighborhood.

My mother in law shared this hilarious video with me after visiting us for a week and realizing you NEED active wear to handle all the adventures that happen on any given day for us.

You know you’re with me when you walk a massive bridge, tour a precolonial plantation and head to the beach… all in one day… all in your activewear!

So when asked to share how I wear my active wear, it made me laugh because how do I NOT wear my active wear?

The Many Ways I Wear Active Wear

• Gardening and Outdoors: What else would I wear to be lightweight, breathable and allow free movement?

• Carpool Lane: Who wants to be uncomfortable?

• Baby Gym: This is the funniest and the most fun you can have. A bunch of babies (and mommas) running around doing bars, balance beam, and tumbling. Show those babies what a trampoline is for!

• Horsing Around: There is nothing better than active wear when I am giving one of our horses a much-needed groom. Or when teaching our girls proper form. I want to be able to bend, turn and move quickly. As a Licensed Equine Assisted Psychotherapist, I am always wearing active wear when in the arena.

• Home Building: How else am I going to climb into fireplaces, up ladders, and under vents?

• At The Park: Play is an important part of childhood and being able to keep my kids safe, and PLAY with them is important to me. Up a tube, down a slide. I’m all in.

• Cleaning My House: What else would I wear?

• Music & Movement Class: Well, I could wear something else but sitting on the grass cross-legged, flying like an airplane, and the myriad of other ways a group of moms acting like goofballs just wouldn’t be as easy without my active wear on.

• Working Out: This is a no-brainer, although I have done the elliptical in heels and it wasn’t awesome. Funny. But not awesome.

To sum it all up, active wear lets me live life and be fit! My fitness is a journey. From cancer survivor and back. I am a work in progress and I don’t have time for “should haves”.

Instead, I am prepared to find some time for my fitness whenever the opportunity strikes and not just my designated gym time. It also helps me be a hands on mom, to get down and play, and to be an example to my children of what a fit and active lifestyle looks and feels like.

I’ve assembled a few looks using some of my favorite pieces so you can get some active wear inspiration. So why not? Rock that active wear!

These are so cute and I could wear them every day! Oh wait….I have been making a conscious effort to wear something OTHER than active wear. LOL

But these days, with life so busy, finding time for both fitness and fashion can be tricky. Thankfully there are some great options out there. Fashionable and at a great price? Yes, please! I’ve noticed I can pack a cute top or cardigan, denim jacket, or scarf and I can turn my active wear into a pulled together look.

I don’t know about you but taking even 10 minutes to get pulled together really works wonders in my day!

So moral of the story- I’m not apologizing for my love of activewear, or the fact I will probably wear it to your wedding. 😉 Kidding, kind of.

What are your go-to pieces you always wear? Does activewear make your heart flutter like mine?
