An Active State Of Mind

I'm not the fittest, not the strongest, or even the best at exercise. But that’s completely fine. I attend weekly spin classes on a Monday evening. I’ve done this for the past year and I love it. I like to sometimes add some different spot such as swimming and yoga too.

 I use exercise to keep my physical fitness up but also my mental health. The adrenaline rush after a class is fantastic and really sets me up for the week ahead.

As a plus size women the one thing that is lacking (but I must admit getting slightly better) is the access to nice looking, and fitting active wear. As fat people we’re subjected to taunts that we don’t exercise and that’s why we’re fat, yet there’s a serious lack of clothing that we’d even be able to wear at the gym.

I’ve worked with State Of Mind Active before (read up here) and their ethos and their clothing is fantastic. Wearable, cool, and the quality and fit are great. My fitness journey as been one that’s been intense at times and not so much at others, but I’ve worn State of mind for years now. And there clothing really does last.

The latest drop is a mix between prints, mesh detailing and florescent colours. A huge thumbs up in my eyes.

Just before heading to spin I took some pictures in a couple of bits, and found everything could be worn together, keeping me looking as stylish as I do during the working day, as well as sweating away at class.

I’ve had compliments on a lot of the pieces and my smaller gym goers have asked where there from.

I’d recommend this brand in a heartbeat. The fit is spot on, the quality is amazing and really lasts.  I’d also full recommend a great sports bra. Mine are from Panache and they are amazing. Also invest in a good pair of trainers. The difference on my ankles and knees is insane.

Now the year is closing, and I really want to work on my fitness and switching things up I’m actually changing my gym (my current membership only allows for spin and swim – tailored to my preference). I want more options of classes and I also want to be able to warm up or down using the weights and machines. As it’s Winter I’m finding I’m avoiding the pool with the dark nights and cold too.

I’m nervous to start a new gym, and worried about the people surrounding me in class. But as long as I know I’m pushing myself and achieving my goals I’m happy.
