It is nearly holiday time and the bikini challenge is at the door. So now it is the best time to be active either at the gym or in a park. I've picked few nice sport gear to make exercising appealing and  reach the goal of shedding those few grams gained during the colder months.

*In Store* This bright  sport bra by Bjorn Borg is the Asphalt Court Medium Support Sport Bra. It has mesh inserts at the back and at the sides so it is very comfortable. It is matched with this pair of  Charlie 7/8 Training Tights with mesh details on the lower front of the legs perfect for releasing heat while exercising.  www.bjornborg.com

*In Store* It is imperative to always wear flip flops while having a shower at the gym or while in the steam room or sauna. This lovely pair is by Hunter made of lightweight rubber and soft silicone rubber straps. Available also in white. www.hunterboots.com

*In Store*  Another  lovely active wear outfit this time by F&F at Tesco. The Colour Block Zip Pocket Leggings  are made with a quick drying fabric and they have zip pockets to store your locker's keys. Another useful feature is the reflective trim, perfect if you are wearing them outdoor. They are matched with a Colour Block Light Impact Crop Top with  a raspberry pink underband. Made as well with quick drying fabric like the leggings. To top it all a pair of Lace Up Trainers with padded ankle collar and ridged soles. www.tesco.com
