Winter is winding down and spring is nearly here, which means ditching the scarves and wooly jerseys for summer shorts, skirts, and swimsuits! If you’re like most people, you’ve probably stayed in for the majority of winter and working out has been at the back of your mind. Now, with summer fast approaching, it’s time to kick things up a notch and refocus on our health and fitness. Nothing could be more motivating than getting some brand new women’s sportswear to go with your new summer workout plan. Find out what women’s sportswear pieces you should invest in.

First up, a comfortable sports bra is a must have investment. If you really want to get serious about upping your fitness or strength it’s going to require movement – and lots of it! The last thing you want to be dealing with is uncomfortable boob bounce while you’re jogging or doing cardio.
