When I took up running, I did not have the proper wardrobe for those miles I'd be tackling. I had no idea how a proper pair of running sneakers (opens in new tab) could support my ankles, and I definitely did not have a quick-drying tee to run in (which is how I caught a cold after my first fall run). I've learned from that experience, thankfully, and now the first place I turn to for all my workout gear is Amazon. The e-commerce giant has a ton of cute and functional gear for all kinds of workouts, (opens in new tab) from high-waisted leggings (opens in new tab) (my favorite) and leggings (opens in new tab) to supportive sports bras (opens in new tab). Best of all, Amazon workout clothes are affordable. (Look, I love athleisure (opens in new tab) as much as the next person, but I'm less afraid to go all out in my workouts in budget-friendly options.) Ahead, I rounded up some great workout pieces I found on Amazon based on thousands of reviews, so you know they're truly vouched for by the community. And if you're looking for at-home fitness equipment, we have a guide (opens in new tab) to that too.
