5 Essential Accessories to Add to Your Workout Wardrobe

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Wash U chapter.

Finding the motivation to work out is hard enough, especially when the cold St. Louis winter months are fast approaching.  It’s cold, you’re tired, and you feel like you have a million things more important to do.  Not to worry, these adorable (and useful) accessories are so cute (and practical) they’ll have you sprinting to the gym in no time!

 

1. Knit Headbands

Winter is just around the corner, and going for runs outside becomes less and less appealing as the temperature drops. For me, the worst part about running in the cold is that my ears freeze! Keep your head warm (and hair out of your face) with a cute knit headband. American Apparel has some in different colors, or if you want to splurge, Lulu Lemon has an adorable one.
