OUR TOP GOODMOVE PICKS

ELLIE SPICER, INTERNATIONAL EDITOR

"Pre-pandemic, I regularly attended exercise classes, but during the first lockdown I did nothing and felt very lethargic. Since the second lockdown, I ensure I have a daily workout, either running outside or an online class, such as yoga on YouTube. Yoga has excellent physical and mental-health benefits - I have found that regular exercise is one of the biggest things that helps me maintain mental balance. If I'm feeling anxious, 15 minutes of yoga and breathing will calm me down. If I feel down, going for a gentle jog outside will help to lift my mood. My gym kit must be comfortable, supportive and adaptable: I want to be able to wear the same leggings to run, weight train or do yoga, and the Goodmove Go Move leggings offer that range".

"My husband and I split childcare 50-50, which means I have the mornings before work free to exercise. Whether it's a spin class, swim or run, I like to schedule my workouts in at the beginning of the week, so I don't have to think too hard at 6.30am. I love the endorphin high you get from a workout, and I certainly notice my mood is lower if I haven't exercised for a few days. I tend to do a lot of high-intensity exercise, so I look for clothes with specially designed performance fabrics and plenty of stretch. I’ve tried out some pretty expensive fitness brands in my time, and always found that Goodmove offers me the same quality and feel at a fraction of the price.
