Run, rest and repeat! No matter what the season or the temperature outside, it’s possible to keep up your fitness routine and stay motivated to move. My go-to secret for clearing my head and blasting calories (as I’m sure you know by now) is by putting in the miles with running. Whether it’s a quick 3-mile cardio crunch or my usual 6 mile loop around Central Park, I find that lacing up and letting go with a run helps to clear my mind, and body, of tension.
So, when temps start dipping, I like to add more layers to my look for outdoor activities in bold colors to help me stay warm and stand out as days get shorter and darker, faster. I love this lucy Activewear Everyday Full Zip in Silver Filigree Heather that I can peel off with just one zip and tie around my waist when I start to warm up. And their Revolution Run Vest on top keeps me looking bold and bright, so traffic and other runners can spot me—no sweat.
Keeping the rest of the look sleek allows me to take my workout gear beyond my sweat-sesh too. And with the holidays just around the corner it’s the perfect time to start thinking of fun fitness #GiftsThatWorkout for all the sporty friends on your shopping list. From sweaters and jackets for layering, to sleek, chic leggings–like the Studio Hatha Leggings I’m sporting in these pics–lucy has super comfy pieces that perform while looking super stylish, so they’re perfect for all types of activities. You can buy a pair for your yogi friends, your runner gal pals, or your buddies who are obsessed with spin class or barre. And don’t forget about yourself. Treat yourself to the gift of lucy Activewear this year, too!
So whatever your passion, keep it up and don’t slack on your workout this winter season. And to get you motivated, lucy is offering 1 lucky winner (2) $100 gift cards—so you can sweat with a friend in style. Just leave a comment below on what gets you motivated to move or share this post!

Good luck and get moving, Girls!
Knowing I have goals keeps me motivated. And good food!! But to get the good food, you gotta put the work in at the gym! workout buddies are the best at keeping me accountable.
What keeps me moving is always wanting to better than a I was –pushing the limits on strength, endurance and agility are my motivators. Oh! And looking cute too! Awesome pictures!
Love this workout routine! I would love to try it in some new Lucy threads!!
What keeps me motivated is the fact that working out is a privilege. I never want to take the fact that I am healthy and able bodied for granted, so I always make sure to work up a sweat.
You always have the best posts and great photos! You keep all of us motivated and I thank-you for that! What I love about Lucy Activewear are the great selections that they offer for every size, shape and they are so colorful which makes me what to work out more. I love how their leggings feel they also maintain their shape and don’t fuzz after several washings! Thank-you for the wonderful giveaway and wishing you a very Happy & Healthy Holiday & New Year xx
thx you too! happy holidays!
I love the layered look!
I think this is a great post because the new year is right around the corner! I would luv to rock lucky wear in the gym and would tag you both in my gym selfies so that my fit fam and followers can purchase as well as follow you both!
Such cute workout gear!
I workout at 5:30 in the mornings. My five kids motivate me to get my workout in. It gives me strength and peace of mind.
I stayed motivated because I can not function unless I exercise. .I also need it to clear my head because if I don’t I get so foggy and unproductive. ..I truly believe that energy creates energy..Once I workout I feel so happy and energized ..I guess my body is use to the release of endorphins.so it keeps me motivated. I workout for my sanity ..not vanity ..love your outfit ..great idea with Yellow jacket… shared blog post as well
Just started working out! Super excited to get in shape. xx

I stay motivated by thinking if what the outcome will be when I hit my goals!
This is awesome! Love activewear too it’s a big part of my life as a dancer and blogger ? What a great giveaway Christine!
Love Lucy Activewear! These pieces are so cute!
Love this post! 😉
Love your outfit! I love full zips, too, rather than over the head clothing. Easier on/off for me while walking or running. For me, always remembering how I feel after working out is what keeps me motivated. Exercising truly destresses me from whatever is bothering me for the day. Plus, I want to stay healthy so that I’m still useful to others.
And thanks for the workout routine!
Cute workout gear totally motivates me!
I’d love to win these gift cards. Your outfit is super cute and functional!
Doesn’t everyone love having new cute workout gear?
