A get-fit flop: Alexia tries to get into exercise

I’m sure the majority of yourselves are in the same boat at the moment but I am on a serious get-fit buzz since the excesses of Christmas (oh the memories – yum!). As a self-confessed gym-o-phobe, I’ve decided to give pilates a try. I much prefer to sweat and fall to pieces in the safety of my own home than in front of all those buff beauties at the gym. Of course once I decided on this course of action, being the eternal fashionista (that is, shopaholic), my next step was what to wear.

Being short of a few euro at the moment my first stop was the jersey section of Penneys. I contemplated velour (too hot), shorts (too short), leggings (too wobble revealing) until I came across a little blue number with cute stripes and all. Paired with my colourful Nikes (courtesy of TK Maxx) I feel ready to go… straight to bed with a hotwater bottle and a packet of spicy Doritos. I’ll start the exercise tomorrow, promise.
