Getting yourself into a regular exercise regime requires many things, not least time, dedication and goal-planning. Often, it also requires a splurge.

Being properly kitted out for a workout, whether in the gym or jogging around the block, is one of the best ways to mentally ready yourself for exercise. The only problem is, the gear can set you back a small fortune.

So, we’re warmly welcoming the latest arrival at Irish chain Life Style Sports. The Mille and Gym A/W 2013 range is a pocket-friendly alternative to pricey sports brands, while offering you everything you need in the average kit bag.

The range starts from only €12, with full outfits available from just €45. Cool, comfy and feminine, staples come in black, grey and navy as well as colour pops of pink and purple shades. But you’re not trading down on quality. Each piece is designed with technical performance in mind. Take for example the ‘Vixen’ performace T-shirt with mesh panelling for increased ventilation, or the ‘Zora’ skinny piped capri, with moisture management to keep you cool and dry.

For would be gym-bunnies who aren’t keen to splurge at the outset of a regime, or experienced exercise fans who want to update their kit, the Mille and Gym premium workout collection is available in Life Style Sports stores nationwide and on www.lifestylesports.com.
