Fashion to motivate your workout

I just got off the phone with fitness guru David Kirsch, AKA: "master of the ass" (a nickname lovingly coined by supermodel Anna Kournikova.) As he says, "there is no ass I can't fix" and I was kind of hoping he would help me out with mine. David trains celebs like Heidi Klum, Anne Hathaway, Liv Tyler, and Kerry Washington, to name a few. So of course I wanted to know what they wear to the gym - call it fashion curiosity.

Here is the scoop: banished from David's chic space are baggy clothes, because he needs to know what to work on - i.e. no sweatshirt around the waist, please. His reasoning? The more you see, the more you're motivated. He also hates when people wear fashion sneakers or running shoes to the gym - he says to wear a pair of cross trainers that breathe. He's in sneakers for 17 hours a day and swears by B-Train by Spring Boost. Heidi and Anne wear Lululemon yoga pants and tight tanks or bra tops. So guess what Jen and I will be buying?

We've long been addicted to David's thermobubbles for an afternoon pick-me-up, but now we're dying to try the B-12 spray to substitute for our 3:30 cookies and lattes - I'll let you know how it works!

My fave Shape-Up blogger, Margarita, just shared that her obsession with Stella McCartney gear is her new motivation to get moving. What do you wear to get yourself motivated to work out? Do you work out?
