Stay motivated in attaining your fitness goals this New Year by updating your workout wear wardrobe. Michelle Dallal, owner of Bodywear Boutique, with locations in Bird Rock, Solana Beach, and Cardiff, notes, “The right type fabrics and cut play a huge role in how you feel; if you are wearing something that doesn’t feel or fit right, then you won’t be as motivated at the gym — if you make it there at all.” Designers Dallal is into right now include Beyond Yoga, a staff and customer favorite, and Up Vibe, a Brazilian-inspired line based here in S.D. Other featured brands include Bia Brazil, Rese Pilates, Planet Body, Nina Bucci, So Low, and many more. “It’s functional and financially sound to buy quality fashionable workout attire you can wear to the gym and then around town while you do your errands,” says Dallal. “It has evolved more into active wear rather than just gym clothes, too, which means more bang for your buck when buying quality attire.” (760/632-1590, www.bodywearboutique.com) MIA STEFANKO
