Self-motivate with our favourite spring athleisure

Up-style your workout this spring, with some of our favourite high-performance pieces, all available at Westfield Chermside.

The Transitional Training Edit

Combined with a fitness flare, the street style aesthetic can be easily achieved with a statement, yet breathable pair of joggers. 

Cuffed hems ensure a stay-put fit, while the unique blend of textures have you moving with ease and are super soft for all day comfort.

Add to this look with a pair of Nike trainers — the brand boss of functional, fashion-forward fitness — in a bold berry hue. Tailored to your training needs, Nike shoes give all the right support.

Working out in cooler temps? Complete your look with an on-trend mesh hoodie.

Sportswear Tech Fleece Pants, $120; Classic Swoosh Futura Sports Bra, $40; Air Zoom Structure 21 Running Shoe, $200; Breathe Training Tank, $55; Sculpt Short, $24.95.

Outdoor Workouts

Getting in a good sweat session under the sun takes your workouts to another level, but ensure your activewear is fit for the elements. 

Protect your face from harmful UV rays by repping a baseball cap. Grooming tip: pull your ponytail snugly through the back opening to keep it out of your face during your work out.

A breathable cotton tank top, from Cotton On Body, is a must and features a sporty racerback style and a comfortable, relaxed cut.

For rainy days, get an outdoor workout feel by booking in to a Barefoot Bootcamp or TotalCycle HIIT class at TotalFusion.

Nike Indy Soft Sports Bra, $50; Nike Zonal Strength Tights, $150; Seed Heritage Amber Sneaker, $29.95; Desert Graphic Vest, $39.95; Oversized Denim Shirt, $99.95; Sport Luxe Cap, $29.95.

Get Your Sweat On

Florals equate to serious strength when it comes to high performance fabrics. When you’re in for a serious sweat session, look no further than Running Bare’s super charged Super Naturals collection.

Featuring feminine florals, these high-performance pieces look pretty while doing heavy-duty work. Designed for intense workouts, these separates allow for maximum movement and agility while offering strong-hold support where you need it.

Silhouette-enhancing details crafted from moisture-wicking, quick-dry fabric keep you looking and feeling at the top of your game, even after your hundredth rep.

Get your sweat on in a boxing or strength training class offered at Fernwood Women’s Health Clubs.

Running Bare Voga Fantasia Crop Top, $69.66; Running Bare Tummy Toned Full Length Tight, $109.99; Superdry Low Pro Sneakers, $49.99.

Bend and Stretch

Lengthening and toning Pilates classes call for leggings that stretch with you. Lorna Jane’s tights keep their form (and yours) looking good while you move through your stretching series.

Cool-touch technology keeps you dry, while printed details, mesh panelling, colour-blocking designs or cut-out details make a style statement.

Pair with a modest crew-neck tank with a soft yet supportive sports bra or bralette to keep you comfortable throughout your floor workout.

Pretty Leopard Burnout Tank, $45.99; Pretty Leopard Sports Bra, $66.99; Move It Core Ankle Biter Canyon, $99.99.

Barre Star

Barefoot ballerinas need not limit their palettes to pink — rather, a punchy print feels modern in an energetic barre class setting. Ensure you’re not exposed when bending low into a plié — a pair of leggings with a mid-to-high-rise waist is perfect for this type of activity.

Cotton On Body has plenty to offer, and specialize in garments designed for specific types of exercise. Look for details like a longer waistband panel to keep you covered, flatlock seams to keep you comfortable, and let colours and patterns speak to you!

To highlight your waist, knot the bottom of a relaxed fit tank top — this pairs perfectly with a high-rise pant, and keeps fabric out of your way while you work out.

Teaser Spliced Panel 7/8 Tight, $39.95; Mesh Overlay Crop, $34.95; Textured Muscle Tank Top Mango, $19.95.

Find Your Zen

Second skin pieces, like those from the Seed Heritage collection, easily take you through your Yoga or stretching practise on the mat.

Crafting pieces that are supremely soft and stretchy but never see-through, flow through your series worry-free and in comfort. Minimal seams and a wide, elastic band at the waist and bust of the garments mean each piece stays put and lays flat.

For maximum range of motion, go for a deep cut tank top that won’t interfere with windmill arms or backbends. A lightweight, moisture-wicking fabric feels best, and can be balanced out by layering it over a full-coverage long-line sports bra.

Whether you prefer Yin or Vinyasa, find your zen at one of TotalFusion’s many Yoga classes offered.

Seed Heritage Full Length Ocelot Tights, $89.95; Seed HeritageDark Ocelet Crop, $49.95; Cotton On Body Scooped Mesh Tank Top, $19.95.
