Ahh yes.. “New year, New Me.”

The repetitive, cliché saying people use to give them hopes of having the “best year ever.”

Well, the thing is, having New Year’s resolutions can help you start the new year off right by giving yourself goals to accomplish. The trick is keeping them.

It’s not rocket science that being healthy and working out is important to living a healthy lifestyle. I don’t mean having a six pack and perfect waist. I mean having a sustainable, healthy relationship with fitness and your diet. Both need each other to balance out!

“New Year, New Me,” is a series on all things fitness and health. I will be going over steps to take to start your fitness and health journey.

So besties, if you want to start the new year living the healthy lifestyle you aspire to have, then let’s begin.

Step one: Workout Attire
The first step to start working out is to make sure you have workout clothes that make you feel comfortable, confident, and ready to hit the gym. This way, you will be motivated to want to go exercise because when you like your outfit, everything feels easier and fun.

Here’s a list of essential pieces you should purchase to start your fitness and health journey:
1. Sneakers
Good sneakers are crucial to working out. Wearing sneakers that don’t fit correctly or are not good quality can harm your feet, and stop you from putting in your full potential when it comes to working out.
Here are some of my top choices:

2. Tops
Workout tops include sporty tank tops, long sleeves, short sleeves, and sports bras. Having these are essential to workout outfits, especially because of their sporty material that can be worn to sweat and move in.

From my experience, scrunchies are a lot more comfortable for working out because of their stretchy and thick material.
These are really cute:

4. Fanny packs
If you’re carrying around things like keys, cards, wallets, a phone, headphones, etc, fanny packs are very convenient and easy to carry around.
Here is a great choice:
