Fit Tip Friday: How to Wash Your Workout Clothes So They Last
I’ve gone on and on about my love for lululemon gear. I’ll pounce around in it all day long, much to the chagrin of my friends. “It’s too expensive!” they all grumble back at me, but I choose my items carefully. I only purchase gear from there that I know I can’t get anywhere else. I get pieces that feel great and allow me to move great. That being said, I go to great lengths to protect the goods I invest in. There’s nothing worse than buying a pair of $90 pants only to have them shrink to Barbie size in the dryer.
