Our fitness gear picks for summer 2017
There’s nothing more motivating to get outside and to get moving than the warm weather. Unless of course, you count shopping for fitness gear motivating, like we do. We rounded up our favourite picks for summer, not just because of their lightweight function, but also for its stylish edge. Here are the pieces we can’t wait to work out in this summer.
Best summer 2017 fitness gear: Leggings you can actually wear in the heat
Some days you just want to wear leggings. (We get it: Tan lines gone wrong, or no time for a leg wax). These striped leggings are so perfect for summer you can actually swim in them – they’re made of swim fabric. Pair them with this triangle bikini top. Bring out the paddle board!

Best summer 2017 fitness gear: Runners that feel like socks
We at Best Health been in love with the Boost runner since its recent launch, and we’re crushing even more now on this summer’s version. The shoe literally hugs the foot (arch and all) and the sock-like structure couldn’t be more comfortable. But this blue fabric has me already thinking about wardrobe looks.

Best summer 2017 fitness gear:
A sports bra that doubles as a top – sign us up! This is what we’ll be wearing to our next Pilates class. This low-impact bra is fashion-forward with its pretty floral design and cut-out paneling design, but the racerback style is what will keep us comfortable in mermaid pose.

Best summer 2017 fitness gear: The strappy tank
Strappy sports bras have been trending for a bit now, and tank tops have been exposing our chic undergarment support. But this pretty purple tank with elastic trim and strappy back is perfect with a basic bra or a webbed one (although it has a built-in shelf bra, so you could go with out, too). It’s also made with dry, sweat-wicking tech fabric.

Best summer 2017 fitness gear: Short shorts
Who loves short shorts? You will when you try on these flattering boxer-style shorts. Roomy and comfortable with a high-banded waist, these moisture-wicking shorts are made with “dryCell” technology. And how cute is the pattern and piping! Perfect for a fitted tank.

Best summer 2017 fitness gear: A very wearable activity monitor
Most fit trackers are very sporty looking, which is why we like the versatility of this one. You can wear it to work and no one will know that it’s a activity monitor, and they won’t ask you if you’ve met your step goal for the day yet. The sleek design with silicone strap, this watch tracks your steps, activity, calories burned and your sleep and works with the Health Mate app on your phone.

Best summer 2017 fitness gear: A sportsbra pretty enough to wear alone
If you’re confident enough to just work out in a sports bra, then make it a statement piece. We love the watery colours on this medium-impact, compression-fit sports bra.
