Hey chubby.
Maybe your “stay fit” mantra from New Year’s quickly morphed into “stay cozy.”
But now it’s the first week of spring.
Get outside, and get fit.
Of assistance: our guide to essential spring workout gear.
Included: 13 items that’ll help you transition from indoors to out, from high-tech running shorts (that literally nobody knows about yet) and sporty wireless earphones to lightweight gym duffels and the comfiest workout shoes you’ll ever own.
Oh, and a handsome new fitness tracker.
Because getting back in shape starts … now.
We start with new running shorts from Rhone, makers of affordable, decidedly masculine activewear that always offers nice details and built-in tech to fight sweat bacteria and offending workout odors.
Best part? Their stuff looks just as sharp outside the gym.
Brand new, Rhone’s color block Escape shorts offer four-way stretch. The 8.5″ inseam is made from, as they say, a “single leg color block representing the natural balance of opposing forces.” Plus, a zippered rear pocket and a power mesh media pocket for your phone.
For motivational purposes, the shorts feature a Fight Club quote stitched into the hem: “Don’t die without a few scars.”
The shorts were just released — in fact, we’re debuting them here and now.
Rhone also recently dropped a line of comfy French terry joggers and hoodies, some lightweight tank tops and even a surprisingly badass polo for upping your golf game … which is sort of like working out.
Pair them with all the following:
