5 ways to trick out your workout
Pretty dumbbells
We love the easy-grip handles of these feminine-styled hand weights. Bonus: Quickly ID each set, from two to 16 pounds, thanks to the fun colour-coding.
Reebok rubber dumbbells, from $8, Target.
Go-anywhere band
Think of a resistance band as your strength-building BFF: It's less likely than machines to cause injury and fits easily in your bag (or suitcase, for all you jet-setters).
Reebok resistance cord, $27, Target.
Smart long-sleeve
Listen up, runners. This top is the perfect combo of function and style: back pocket for essentials, thumb holes to keep hands cozy without overheating and more.
C9 by Champion long-sleeved top, $45, Target.
Cute bra top
Stock up on these totally comfy, totally supportive bra tops. We mean it! With so many colours and patterns to choose from, they’re perfect to layer under a tee or tank.
C9 by Champion reversible action & cami sports bra, $17, Target.
Flattering bottoms
Think again if you believe you have to pay a lot for pants that look good. After putting on these cropped leggings, it’s hard to imagine wanting anything else.
