Activewear to kick you into gear this new year

We all know that exercise is good for us, and the start of a new year is the perfect time to supercharge your health and wellness - especially after an overindulgent festive season. Whether you're hitting the gym hard every morning or juggling yoga classes between kinder drop-offs, LMA Active at Harris Scarfe has the gear you need to get moving and stay motivated. Whatever your goals may be, if you start the year right by investing in a few key activewear pieces and aim for progress, not perfection, just imagine where you could be by the end of 2023.

Live your best #mumlife

If you've spent the last few years deep in the trenches of nappies, baby music lessons and endless piles of washing, we see you! Why not make 2023 the year you finally put yourself first?! If you don't have time for the gym, download a fitness app to your phone and make a promise to yourself that you'll start making time for your own goals. And of course, pick up some new workout gear to get you in the mood.

Black full-length leggings like these are the ultimate versatile wardrobe staple for busy mums. Not only can they be worn to the gym, they can also be dressed up for the school run or coffee with friends. They have two phone pockets, because we all know mums can never have enough free hands, and the quick-dry fabric means you can wash and wear.

Wear your leggings year round by adding a zip-neck hoodie or cowl-neck sweat top in autumn, and throwing over a puffer jacket in winter. This gorgeous mint cowl-neck is our fave, closely followed by this khaki hoodie. Both pair well with black pants or jeans too, for a comfy everyday look.

Kick butt in 2023

If your dream fitness regime involves high-impact workouts like running, kickboxing, and functional weights, a great pair of crop leggings are a must. These LMA Core Blockout crop leggings have you covered. The high waist holds in all those wobbly bits, while the three-quarter leg helps keep you cool throughout the sweatiest of sessions. Plus, like all our LMA leggings, they're squat proof - so get that booty down to the ground, baby!

On top, try this LMA jacquard insert tank in black, blue, or tea. It's designed to be soft and comfy during a workout, while also looking super-chic, and you can even pair it with jeans and your fave summer slides for the perfect brunch outfit.

Aspire to a more mindful life

If gentle stretching and toning is more your style, you can't go past a 7/8 legging. LMA Active's Core Blockout 7/8 leggings are designed to sit mid-calf, giving you great coverage for floorwork, Reformer classes, or steamy Bikram sessions. The flexible fabric moves with your body, so whether you're slowly getting closer to achieving the splits or holding a Warrior 3 until your whole body is on fire, you're only limited by your own determination. Add a double hem raglan sleeve top in the cooler months, and you've got an outfit that will flatter your silhouette and help you stay in shape all year.

Strong is the new sexy

Heroin chic is so 1995 - strong and sexy is the way forward. If you're dreaming of a toned tush and ripped biceps, you'll need a great tank top - after all, what's the point of putting in all that work if you don't show it off?!

Level-up your active tank game this year with something a little bit special, like this LMA Active mesh insert tank. Available in denim or plum, it pairs perfectly with leggings, and the soft-touch fabric is super-comfy for all those deadlifts and rows. It really is the perfect sexy tank - the mesh inserts at the shoulders will highlight your sculpted physique, while the opaque fabric across the torso prevents it from being too risqué.

Choose comfort over corporate

With so many of us working from home these days, there must be thousands of pairs of black pants and pencil skirts gathering dust in wardrobes around the country. Working from home means you can squeeze in a quick workout or walk in your lunchbreak, and all that incidental exercise adds up - so, hit your 10,000 steps each day in these LMA Active tapered-leg trackpants.

Classic grey, charcoal, or black are popular choices, but if you're feeling more adventurous, why not go for this gorgeous wine hue? The deep plum colour coordinates perfectly with a pink or white tee, and the slightly shorter cuffed leg means you can showcase your favourite runners.

If you need to hop onto a Zoom call, just pop on a nice top. This LMA Active jacquard insert tee can easily pass for smart casual, and it's available in four fantastic colours. When your meeting is finished simply log off, close your laptop, and start your workout. Don't love a cuff? Opt for a straight-leg trackie instead, in black, navy, pink, or khaki.
