SPARKLE

Welcome to Pretty Fit!

I was in a suburban gym a couple months ago and about fell off the treadmill when I saw a woman walk in with glistening pink lip gloss that matched her perfectly coordinated tank and gymmies. I ruthlessly trashed her to my friends and family until one day I realized I was jealous of this woman. This woman who was so confident in her femininity that she could go to the gym, whip out 5 miles or beat the crap out of a sandbag or Spin herself silly, without the need to dress like a tough chick, saving the ruffles for a date night. I had allowed myself to get caught up in the notion that I could be girly ONLY at certain times and hard-core workouts was not the time to look dainty.

I want to go to the gym pretty. I want to find my girly-girl gym persona.

So I did. I went out and bought some super cute workout pants covered in rhinestones. Perfect. I sparkle. I SPARKLE!! And I love it. Not only do I love it, I punch harder, I spin faster, and I even found the confidence to practice my toe touch jumps! I still throw like a girl, but guess what? I am a girl.
