Having just completed the Auckland Half Marathon, a blog on where to buy good quality and reasonably priced exercise gear seemed perfect synergy this week.  We won’t talk about the state of my body, or lack of ability to walk.  I will come right!!

My favourite store at the moment is Cotton On Body, where you can find a selection of exercise gear to suit anyone’s budget as well as swimwear, casual wear, pyjamas and lingerie.  My latest two tops were both under $10.00 each and have been so comfortable to wear, that I went back for more; only to find out that they had all sold out.  In nice breathable fabrics and perfect summer colours – they are good value for money and ‘wash n wear’ really well.  Equally my sports-bras from The Warehouse “Active” range have been just as good, if not better than the more popular brands of Puma and Mizuno that I used to wear.

So there isn’t really any excuse to not get out pounding, or walking the streets and beaches of NZ – getting ready for a beautiful hot summer, looking and feeling good.
