3 Ways to Get the Workout Look For Less

Rather than sweating over your checkbook balance, sweat it out in style for less!

Rather than sweating over your checkbook balance, sweat it out in style for less! Although Lululemon is cardio couture, it's often hard to justify the hefty price on a pair of sweats. Not willing to sacrifice comfort or style, we found three pieces that have a similar look for a fraction of the cost. In fact, these pieces are so affordable, you can get the top, jacket, and pants for under $100. Here's how.

Pastel workout gear is an easy way to freshen up your workouts this Spring. Although we can't help but want this blue Lululemon pullover for our morning runs, the price tag is a hefty $118. We found a similar blue pullover at Target for only $20. Not only does this piece have a similar look, it is the perfect transition into warm weather and will save you almost $100!

If you're looking to go mellow in yellow for your next yoga class, consider a bright yellow workout tank! At only $19, you can get Spring's hottest color with this Champion fit and flare tank, a bargain compared to this very similar Lululemon Practice Freely tank for $64.

Rather than opt for another pair of black leggings, switch things up with a pop of color! We love how Lululemon's Wunder Under crop pants will look when paired against a bright tank, but the $82 price tag has us feeling blue. For $23 we found a similar style and color with these Old Navy compression capris.

Get Your Butt in Gear: C9 Pants by Champion

Target lops another one out of the park as far as I am concerned with these C9 Pants by Champion (extended sizes).

Target lops another one out of the park as far as I am concerned with these C9 Pants by Champion (extended sizes).

Not only are they only $20, but they also come in, wait for it . . . tall sizes! Leggy gals rejoice. I cannot tell you how many emails I get asking about workout pants for tall girls and I've always steered them to the Victoria's Secret Fold Over Pant until now. These great workout pants are made from a comfortable jersey knit and they're slim through the hip and thigh while boot-cut at the ankle, which makes them flattering on most body types. Buy them here.

Get Your Butt in Gear: C9 Jacket by Champion

A lot of you were liking the little pink Nike jacket I posted about a while ago, but user lintacious tipped me off on another cool jacket that's a little bit cheaper.

The C9 Jacket by Champion is just as cute as it is useful. The best part? The sleeves have built in mittens (sort of), so when your hands get cold on especially chilly jogs, you can put your hands in the little pockets that attach to the sleeves. When your hands get hot, take them out and keep on with your jog. I love that you don't have to worry about keeping track of yet another thing while running. What's more? There is even a slot on the sleeve for your iPod nano! Buy it from Taget.com for $25. Gotta love Target!

Thanks for the tip lintacious!
