We know you can make a positive change any day of the year, but there's something about New Year's Eve [1] that makes us want to turn over a new leaf, pronto. And, whether you want to resume your weekly pilates classes or train for that big race, your fitness goals are no exception.
The catch? Though it's definitely possible to kickstart a new habit, doing so is often easier said than done — especially when you're spending lots of time at home because there's a legit blizzard happening outside of your window. If you're looking for some motivation, you might want to pick some new sneakers [2], leggings [3], and sports bras [4]. (We can't back it up with science just yet, but we're pretty convinced there's a link between wearing cute workout clothes and, you know, working out.)
Fortunately, Nordstrom is packed with a bunch of cute styles that are just waiting to be added to your e-cart. To help you start 2022 on the right foot — sorry, had to — we're sharing the best pieces Nordstrom has to offer. On your mark, get set, shop!
