How I Do It: My Workout Routine + Latest Lulu Faves

I’ve had some SSP readers ask if I’d update you on my work-out routine and how it’s been going this summer.  The last time I posted about my work-out routine was back in March.  You can read that post here. // I got this Nike tank during the Anniversary Sale and love the style of it.  It’s long enough to cover your rear too!  I paired it with this new Lulu style sports bra.  It has great coverage and loving the color too – Cherry Blossom Pink.  Some of y’all asked what treatment I have on my hair in this pic.  It’s my weekly Olaplex treatment.

Honestly, since we’ve been out of town so much this summer, it’s been hard to attend my regular barre classes consistently.  I’ve mostly just been running when I can, but nothing routine.  I’m hoping that with school starting next week I’ll get organized and make a plan.

My latest fave has been Orange Theory.  I’d heard friends rave about it before, but the only one in Charleston was in West Ashley.  Recently, they brought a new one to Mount Pleasant and I gave it a try and absolutely loved it!  I love the atmosphere and how organized it is.  If you’re on the fence, I’d definitely recommend you trying it out.  I’ve only been a few times, but like I said before, I’m hoping to get a more organized schedule down when school starts again.  Have any of y’all tried it before?  What did you think?

In a perfect world, I’d love to go to Orange Fitness three mornings a week and then barre two days a week.  On the weekends, I plan on running.  We’ll see how it goes!  School starts Thursday.  I’ll probably start it next Sunday or Monday.  What have y’all been doing and loving? // Tank // Sports Bra // Shorts // Shoes // Headphones


I know my Lulu addicts have been asking for a post dedicated to my favorite new styles and colors.  For one thing, these leggings were just restocked in more colors.  They sold out in black and navy in a hot minute earlier this year.  For fit, they do run small.  But they’re awesome and suck you in in all the right places.  Definitely go up at least one size.

I love the cutout detail on this style tank!  Looks like it fits a little on the looser side, which is my fave too!

It’s no secret that these jackets are probably my favorite zip-up.  They’re great for tossing on before and after work-outs and during a run when the weather cools.  Depending on how you like to wear yours, I don’t like mine too fitted so I always size up.  Love this new blue color.

Of all the sports bras out there, this style is by far my favorite!  If you’re looking for more coverage, try the Energy Bra.  This is the Razzle color.  If you’re between sizes, size up.

Hands down, my favorite work-out shorts ever.  I seriously wear them every single time I work out.  Love that they’re always coming out with more colors.  If this is your first pair, go with the black.  Trust me, you’ll love them!


Along with Lulu, I’m loving this breathable Nike tank.  It still stays pretty hot around Charleston in early Fall, so I’m always looking for lightweight tanks to toss on.  This top fits the bill just perfectly.

Another great toss-on when the weather cools is this wrap cardigan.  Not too light, not too heavy.

These leggings are so different than your usual solid color leggings.  With the black at the top and color toward the bottom, they’d be so flattering.

I got these running shoes during the Anniversary Sale and have worn them a few times and really like them.  I’ve worn Nike running shoes ever since I can remember, and these are the newest update!

As for tennis, I’ll be starting on two different teams in just a few weeks and cannot wait!  I was shopping around for new tennis dresses and came across these.  There are even more colors than just the ones above too, and many are on sale.  I have a few Nike Tennis Dresses that I absolutely love, so I’m hoping these fit the same.  Based on reviews they are, so we’ll see.  Love that they’re fitted at the top, but have a slight A-line shape and are a little more loose at the bottom.

We had the most beautiful weather on the beach yesterday, savoring our last weekend of summer before school starts back!  Can’t believe our summer days are about to end.  But it will be nice to have some structure again.  I hope y’all have a great start to your week!

  1. Love all the suggested tanks and bottoms for workout gear. I do OT here in Huntsville and love it. I haven’t gotten the confidence yet to try the 90 min class but I love the regular 60 minute one. They are always different and leave me sore in good way!

  2. LOVE Orange Theory – really motivating and it’s really helped define my arm and back muscles especially! I go 3x per week in the mornings and am obsessed! Enjoy!
