My Favorite Piece of Workout Gear Is Only $13, and I Still Can't Believe It
Sponsor Content Created With Forever 21
I remember DMing a fitness guru a few years ago to get the details of her sports bra. When she told me she got it from Forever 21—for $13 no less—I actually couldn't believe it. Since then, my drawers have become full of its activewear from bras and leggings to tanks. I'm always checking the site for new things to add to my rotation (especially since I know it takes Afterpay). And let me tell you: This batch of new arrivals is insanely good, so I couldn't help but share. Keep scrolling for the items in my cart that will not only get you moving in the new year but will also have you looking cute while doing it.
