No problemo!
I like wearing my workout wear for Halloween - it’s an easy way to stay comfy (even if my butt’s hanging out, I still get to wear my sneakers). It’s also easy to sass things up and make a new costume with a few accessory changes: gold painted running shoes, jewelery, wigs, leg warmers, etc. In the above pic, I went as a Workout ‘Video - Ho’ (I had shorts also, but the gold belt and shoes were the best). In the pic below, I was a Super Hero Fitness Instructor (cape not shown). This year was booty shorts, sweatbands and an over-sized sweater.
We’re all different and while MY costume might not be your thing, there are plenty of other fit-inspired costume ideas that require minimal stress IF you already have the equipment. So if you’re a ‘fittie’ like me, grab some of these ideas and make your own costume before you head out!
Great ideas from The Quickie Chick!
