- Staying motivated to exercise can be challenging enough, but having to worry about where to put your phone, keys, and other little essentials when you work out is another unnecessary obstacle.
- Luckily, plenty of brands have added cleverly placed pockets to their performance workout apparel so you can keep your belongings on you and work out worry-free.
- Below, you'll find seven performance pieces that'll help you keep your belongings secure while you exercise.
You got out of bed early, pulled on your leggings and laced up your sneakers. You made it to the gym - begrudgingly so, but you still made it, and that's what counts. You put in your headphones, blast some music, and you're ready to go. You take a look in the mirror. Is that the face of fitness? Yes, and it's you.
Here you are, and you're crushing it. People probably think you really know what you're doing. Then it happens - you're out of range. Your phone screeches and the music sounds as fuzzy as a TV with a lost signal. Forced to hit pause on that amazing workout, you go to retrieve your phone, and all of that energy fizzles away.
Maybe this has happened to you, maybe not - but most of us can agree that we'd rather not encounter any little bumps on the road during our workouts, like phones slipping out of our sports bras or holding a heavy wallet on an outdoor run. Whether you're in the gym or outside, you want to focus on exercising, not what you're wearing. Still, when most of us work out, we need more than just our bodies. I need my phone, keys, headphones, and if I'm running outside, I also like to bring some money in case I make any pit stops.
Luckily, there are plenty of pieces of performance gear that have room for your necessities without compromising your workout. With them, you can get a great workout in without leaving anything you need behind.
Here are seven pieces of smartphone-friendly performance workout clothes for women:
