Thank you to lululemon for providing me with some new fall pieces to help inspire my Fall workouts. I love every single piece. 

What I wear to workout helps me feel prepared to move and sweat. It allows my mind to focus on the tasks I set out to do without any distractions. My body is able to do what it does, which is to move and sweat, without disruption. 

Being able to keep my mind focused while working out is as important as the workout itself. Without distraction I can notice how my body is responding to an increase in effort or endurance, or how my body is feeling at every point during a climb effort. I can allow myself to feel the discomfort in the effort, and condition my mind to be ok with that discomfort. 

It’s especially important to keep my mind focused on a gruelling 60 minute ride where my mind wants to wander, looking for any excuse to stop, or to tell myself I can’t continue. I can really focus and pay attention to my breathing. Not noticing my clothing while working out is something I’ve grown so used to with lululemon, but it’s really priceless.
