I don't think it's silly at all, in fact I feel the same way. When I treat myself to new workout gear I immediately want to go use it and take a class. I also find that I am more confident in my workout and will push myself a little hardeer as well. I'm a bit of a fashionista and like to look cute no matter what I am doing, but I do find that a great workout outfit makes me want to show up for myself in that space.
I feel you! It's all about setting the mood! We do that when it's time to sleep, time to party, time to focus, time to be romantic. The outfit is an energetic cue to allow the rest of what you need to happen.
I love putting on colorful clothes to work out! If it motivates you, go for it!
I Love this! Some of my best workouts are when I wear any shade of pink, lol! Kudos to you boo!
@sotoalyssalol - I AM this!! Clothes can be confidence!! Tennis, to me, was all about the outfit with exercise as a benefit! I would get a new outfit and play my heart out. If I lost, my positive was ' Well, at least I looked good.' HAHA! I think my mental health starts on the inside and how I feel navigates my day.
My fiance teases me about my EXTENSIVE workout wardrobe... but I agree, looking cute and feeling cute are great motivators!
