The last year has changed the way that life happens, and in some way for the better. I personally have been a huge fan of the curbside pick up for my groceries, the virtual meetings, and the decrease in driving.

However, something I have struggled with was exercising from home. I will be the first to admit, I am not a fan of solely working out. I love walking, hiking, canoeing, and being active in that way, but just working out, eh, not my thing.

However, that had to change in the last year, and well, so did my mindset.

Of course the first thing on my list to work out was getting the right gear, more specifically, the right clothing. I mean, obviously.

Luckily, I found these aahhhhmazing leggings from Born Tough. And whew, they are exactly what I am looking for both my athletic-leisure dress code of working from home, as well as when I actually am working out. They pretty much check all of my boxes:

✔️Side pockets

✔️Great colors

✔️Soft but flexible fabric

✔️Contoured so they feel great on my body

✔️And did I mention they have pockets?

They have both leggings and hoodies, so it is basically everything I need!

And like my hair dresser says. “look good, feel good!”

But how do you actually workout from home when you are not great at working out, but want to find some ways to move your body in a safe, effective way?

Well, finally we have some amazing options. A few of my favorite options for at home workouts:
