Really, there's no reason why you shouldn't feel like your favorite fairy-tale hero or heroine when you work out. Why not channel a little magic when we're running, jumping, lifting, sweating, and pushing ourselves through tough routines?
Crowned Athletics is a workout and athleisure brand that takes that attitude to heart. The brand imagined "what your favorite princess would wear to work out" and brought it to life in a variety of stylish tanks, headbands, scrunchies and water bottles. Each piece channels a classic princess or a new favorite, from mermaids to Frozen heroines and even a few of the best villains. Founder Kirsten Halik was inspired by fairy tales she loved growing up, according to a Crowned Athletics rep; now, the brand aims to harness that "princess power" to help people improve their physical and mental health through exercise.
The results are fun and functional, whether you're chasing down a PR at a runDisney race or looking for some extra sparkle during your at-home workout. Check out a few of the brand's best princess-inspired looks ahead!
