The yoga and the power plates both require bare feet and stretchy clothes. Sadly they don't start straight after dropping the girls at school. Which means multiple changes of clothes. Not great for a lazy person.
I do have some warm boots lined with faux fur with rubber soles. These are perfect for "bare feet days." Now I just need some stretchy clothes to wear with them. Enter Burda 7/2011!

I'll let you know how it turns out next week.
Meanwhile, I tried Walthamstow market today and was pretty underwhelmed. The 4 fabric shops I entered were all filled with horrible, cheap polyester. There were a few stall holders with interesting trimmings, but I don't need any of those at the moment. My heart still belongs to Goldhawk Road!
Finally, after whinging about closet space I felt really rotten. I thought about the global audience that the internet has, and how most people in the world don't have enough of the basics. I did feel a bit ashamed of myself.
Good for you! I've been doing Pilates for about 10 years (sometimes consistently, sometimes not) and feel it's very effective. I don't know much about Yoga or Zumba.
ReplyDeleteExercise wear tends to be so expensive, I'm sure you'll find it worth your while to make some of your own things. Plus you can have exactly what you want, which is hard to find!
I am very impressed with your new exercise routine! I love how you have thought through your planned outfit - I think that one of the key things for sticking to any kind of classes is making them as hassle free to go to as possible - if it's too difficult to fit into the rest of the day's schedule it's easy to give up (at least that's how it works out for me!). Both the skirt and top look very promising indeed - you're going to look fabulous and fit!
ReplyDeleteThey look like perfect transitional pieces - Isn't Zumba great fun!! with the right instructor - I love it!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great, I love walking everywhere too. I'll be keeping an eye out to see what you do with activewear (I need some in my life, too!)
ReplyDeleteKarin, if you are walking everywhere and not using your car, then I call that the opposite of "lazy"! Good for you, you are saving the planet and getting fit at the same time...
ReplyDeletefrom a fellow walker and car-avoider!
ps. your new active wear is going to be fabulous, stylish, and practical too!
Good luck with the exercise programme! Love your choices of pattern.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, so much exercise! I also need to catch up! By the way, I followed your old blog and happy found you again! Good luck with new beginnings :-))

Off topic, so feel free to delete after reading.... I posted a link to the peach coffee cake - here it is: http://fivemuses.blogspot.com/2009/08/peachy-keen.html
ReplyDeleteIt's one of my favorite recipes - it's delicious and wholesome-ish, and comes out moist and smelling great.
Will post muffins once I've worked out a few kinks...
Oh and that ensemble WOULD look great w/ boots and leggings!
