Cool or Not: Topshop Designing Cycling Gear
After invading New York retail, Topshop is now invading the world of cycling gear. According to the UK Telegraph, this week the fashion-forward retailer is releasing a line of biking shorts, jackets, and accessories for female cyclists. The edgy, brightly colored goods were designed by Cyclodelic and will be available in the UK.
Danskin Yoga Gear Goes Organic
You try to eat organic, but do you dress organic? Organic cotton is becoming increasingly popular among eco-minded types, since it's grown without the
large amounts of pesticides that bathe conventional cotton — about 1/3 of a pound of chemicals per one cotton t-shirt! Organic cotton is better for the environment and our health.
Review: Danskin X-Training Jacket
The weather is starting cool, considerably in some parts, and that means wearing more layers — sometimes even indoors. I don't like feeling cold, but so many sweaters, jackets, and hoodies are just too bulky, so I have been looking for something form-fitting, cozy, and thin. I put on my new Danskin X-Training Jacket ($76) a couple of days ago and have yet to take it off.
Get Your Butt in Gear: Danskin Now at Walmart
I've been reevaluating my budget these days and it's no surprise that my fitness and health habits can be pretty costly. In an effort to save cash but still be able to keep myself motivated I've been on the hunt for cute, and cheap, workout clothes. A friend of mine was telling me that she's gotten a few workout clothes from Walmart, so I did a little investigating.
Get Your Butt in Gear: Trendy Tennis Clothes

Get Your Butt in Gear: Team Speedo USA Collection
Before we all came down with Michael Phelps fever, I told you about the Speedo LZR Racer, hailed as the world's fastest swimsuit. If you've been watching the Olympics, by now you are intimately familiar with the $550 full-body suit that all the swimmers are wearing.
If you want an LZR of your very own, you'll have to wait until October, but you can preorder one now on Speedo's website.
Get Your Butt in Olympic Gear
While the majority of you were not big fans of the Olympic gear designed by Ralph Lauren, there were many of you who were. For those of you who'd like to own Olympic goodies and sport the same clothes the Olympians will be wearing during the opening ceremony, Ralph Lauren is now selling the collection online. While I am not sure I want to be wearing a shirt with "BEIJING" across my chest, I do think the little red, white, and blue belt is kind of cute.
Get Your Butt in Gear: GapBody Sport Essential Perfect Pants
I will freely admit it; I am a workout pant fanatic. When you try go to the gym every day, you need a bunch of workout pants or you'll end up with a lot of laundry every day. So I am always on the watch for new pants, especially comfortable and flattering ones.
Review: Run Don't Walk Pants
Are you looking for some pre- or postgym pants that you can pull on over your workout gear? I'm always looking for a flattering yet comfy fit and that's what I found in these Run Don't Walk Pants ($110) made by Cloudveil.
I know that may seem like a lot of moolah, but you've got to feel this amazing material.
Get Your Butt in Gear: SpreadShirt
If you're training for a marathon for charity then you're probably looking to get more donations, so one way to be creative and up those charity dollars is with SpreadShirt.com — and design your own gear shop online. Not only can you give away personalized T-shirts to your donators (say you charge $25 for the shirt, which means $10 to create it and the remaining $15 can go to help support your charity), but you can also create your own shirt to make a statement on the race day, or whenever you wear it. I mean, how cool would it be to have your kids wearing a "Team [insert your name here]" shirt as you cross the finish line?
