If you're anything like me, you'll:
a. love a supportive pair of the best gym leggings or no-bounce best sports bras, and b. love to know that they'll last the test of time, too.
As a health editor, I'm lucky to get to sweat test kit for a living, but one trick I always share with friends and followers wanting to know which kit to invest in? Go with the best-sellers - the stats don't lie, and more often than not, they're firm favourites for a reason.
That's why, when sports retailer SportsShoes.com gave me an exclusive insight into their top 20 best-selling women’s items, I knew I needed to share.
With over 4,265 products on the women's section of their website alone, and some items as expensive as £320, it can be hard to know where to start. Not to mention, if you're wondering how to stay healthy on a budget, a bit out of price range.
That's why so many of the below options - from brands like Hoka, Adidas, Nike, and more - are so great, as the site offers a discount on all products stocked, meaning even the higher price point items are at least 10% cheaper than on other sites (and more affordable for all budgets).
