Finding the motivation to hit up an early morning workout or squeeze in some cardio after a long day at the office in the dead of winter is tough: Trust us, we know. But if there’s one thing we’re certain of, sometimes all it takes to get you up and at it is having the right stuff, whether it be a super lightweight arm band or a pair of leggings that don’t slip down mid-burpee.
Here, the editors at FASHION share their top workout gear picks and why they love them so much, from inexpensive medicine balls (perfect for at-home use) to comfortable sports bras you can literally sleep in the night before a 7 a.m. spin class (seriously).
“Two key things I look for in a legging: 1) A high-waist that won’t sag or fall down during an intense HIIT workout, and 2) Deep, side pockets that can house my phone comfortably during those treadmill sessions.” —D’Loraine Miranda, production editor
“I drink a lot of water when I work out. Corkcicle’s 25 ounce water bottles are the only thing that can get me through a 60-minute class without diligently moderating my hydration… or running out of the room to the nearest water cooler. Plus, it keeps my water ice cold.” —Meghan McKenna, associate editor
“Medicine ball exercises are my favourite because they’re intensive but quick, so having one at home makes it easy to squeeze in a workout anytime.” —Benjamin Reyes, video editor
“I love stretching straps because they’re simple yet versatile. I use one during my yoga practice to enhance stretches and overall flexibility, but also during strength training to intensify certain exercises, like hip thrusters.” —Emma Middlestadt, editorial intern
“Over the years I’ve come to realize how essential a good playlist is to me having a great workout, so an armband for my phone is non-negotiable. This one by Nike is so lightweight that you don’t feel like you have anything attached to your arm, especially while lifting weights or running.” —Anastasia Barbuzzi, contributor
“Rockstar Fruit Punch’d Zero Sugar: It has all the caffeine necessary for me to reach my goals. But SOMEONE (a.k.a. D’Loraine) said I couldn’t mention Rockstar Fruit Punch’d Zero Sugar. So… I like RYU clothes when I work out. The new Core hoodie is nice enough to wear leisurely, even though it’s also athletic. You might even say it could be described as ATHLEISURE.” —Greg Hudson, features editor
“I love P.volve’s P.band resistance gloves because they tone the arms quickly, strengthening trouble spots like the underarms and triceps. They’re also very travel-friendly.” —Sarah-Ann Mrazek, editorial intern
“Whenever I’m shopping for a sports bra I’m looking for something I can wear during cardio, but still comfortable enough to sleep in. The material this Under Armour bra is from is perfect for both. It’s supportive but never feels restrictive.” —Lindsay Cooper, assistant editor
“On mornings when I need an extra push of motivation, I reach for these leggings by Outdoor Voices. [Ed Note: OV still doesn’t ship to Canada—OV, if you’re reading this, YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.] Something about the soothing blue, the ultra high waist and sleek colourblocking gives these leggings a little pep that makes me excited about slipping them on and heading down to the gym.” —Pahull Bains, associate editor
“I finally got a FitBit late last year, and now that I have one I could never go without it. The app in particular is super helpful and records a whole lot more than just your heart rate and step count. I especially love using it to keep tabs on my daily water consumption and for tracking my sleep patterns. —Lauren Hazlewood, contributor
“Working out is also a million times better with the right music. Bonus points if you can do so completely hands-free.” —Brittany Eccles, creative director
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
