A new Pilates studio opened up near my house recently, so I signed up for a semiprivate lesson with my mom last week. I’m completely hooked now. It’s such a great workout for people like me, who tend to get distracted by the spirituality of yoga and aren’t coordinated enough for aerobics nor die-hard enough for spin class.

Of course, my mind immediately wandered to what I have to wear to my session -- which isn’t much. I want to look cute, of course, but comfort is key.

Where do you like to shop locally for workout clothes? Lucy? Lululemon? Title Nine? Many yoga studios sell clothes in their boutiques; do you like to support them?
