I decided to invest in some new fantastic gym gear as I have put on a lot of weight and I want to feel more comfortable in what I work out in.

I was looking around in Superdry, and I noticed a gym top in the sale for £8.99.

My mum was with me and persuaded me to buy it, and I’m glad I did because it’s a quick-drying top which means it dry’s quicker than regular tops.

I was sent an email from Nike about their sale, and I wouldn’t usually bother looking because I’m trying to save money, however, for some reason, I decided to have a quick browse and realised that I should invest in some new gym gear.

I needed some trainer socks, so I purchased some, and I also noticed some Dri-Fit Nike trousers which were in the sale for £20. Nike Dri-FIT is a high-performance fabric that moves sweat away from the body and to the fabric surface.

Dri-FIT technology is used in a variety of Nike products.

Since I’m currently going to the gym at least five times a week and I’m going to HIIT twice a week, I finally had an excuse to cheer myself up and buy some new gym gear.

After the Nike order arrived, I found the Nike trouser bottoms are fitted but comfortable, but the sizes are a bit strange.

I ordered a 12-14 which is a medium, and I’m usually a size 12 in trousers.

I would order a size bigger to be on the safe side.

The trainer socks are comfortable and Dry-Fit, however, I wore one pair for one day, and the stitching has come apart at the seams.

I was a bit annoyed about this because they cost £7 in the sale for three pairs and I wouldn’t have been happy if I paid the full price.

I was wearing my 10-year-old New Balance trainers that I purchased on my very first trip to New York and noticed that they weren’t that comfortable to wear during my HIIT sessions as I found them too hard.

After a discussion with my HIIT trainer, I decided to have a look and order some Nike HIIT training shoes that are specifically designed for training and gym work.

I found a pair in the sale on Sports Direct and even with the expensive £4.99 postage it worked out cheaper than anywhere else.
