Dress Up

Want to get fit? Then dress the part. Looking your best is vital to getting you to the gym—especially if you feel less fit that the marathoner on the treadmill next to you, according to research from the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. Invest in a nice pair of yoga pants, a flattering top, and comfortable sneakers. Just like the perfect power suit, it will give you a self-esteem boost—and something to show off, Montenegro says. Likewise, droopy pants and a ratty T-shirt may make you feel frumpy, not fit.
