As you guys know, I’ve been working on cleaning up my eats in 2015. Originally I was also planning on starting the year off strong with workouts, but my tailbone injury in December put a serious damper on that. For over a month now sitting, standing, and laying down has been a difficult process. I decided the best thing I could do was focus on healing and I’ve done absolutely zero exercising of any kind.
While at first I was really disappointed by this, I quickly realized I was the best thing I could do for my body. My body needed to rest and rest is exactly what I did. Now, a little over a month later, I’m finally starting to feel better. I still have a little soreness, but nothing like I used to. I’m feeling well enough to start bringing some movement back into my life.
A return to exercise after an injury is a cause for celebration. And for me, celebrations = shopping! Target® provided me with a gift card to purchase some new workout clothes from their C9 Collection. I have heard amazing things about this collection but have never tried it out myself. I was excited to finally do so!
I was immediately drawn to the look and feel of the C9 Premium Collection. Everything was so cute and the quality felt great. It was also less than half the cost of some of my usual workout gear.
After browsing for a while I ended up selecting the C9 by Champion® Women’s Premium Capri Legging, the C9 by Champion® Women’s Seamless Tee, and the C9 by Champion® Women’s Seamless Racerback Sports Bra.
I went out of my comfort zone by getting a colored pair of workout pants but toned it down with a neutral top. I’m usually all about the loud prints on top and black basics on the bottom. I thought this was a fun twist to start off a new year of workouts in a fun way. 🙂
I loved how the outfit looked together, and how the fabric felt on my skin. Best of all, the clothes performed great as I did my first workout in a long time: Pilates! There was no riding up, pulling down, or chafing of any kind. That’s a workout apparel line I can get behind! (And feel cute in while I try and make my behind look better! Haha)
Questions of the Day: Have you tried Target® C9’s collection? Do you like wearing fun colors and patterns when you work out? How have your workouts been going lately?

Target is the best! I love how affordable they make everything! And I’m with you – I usually do a really plain pant, but I’m thinking I need to get more adventurous 🙂
I love Target’s workout gear! Definitely the best quality you can get for the price.
ooh, sorry that your tail bone is taking a while to get better. Yes, I love Target’s c9 – fun, functional and affordable!
So glad you’re feeling better! I love those pants! I have heard great things about that line, too, but have never tried anything…but I think I have to!
SO cute! I am always on the hunt for more clothes- I will definitely have to check Target out! 🙂
I injured my tailbone a few weeks ago and I am still feeling it- so I know exactly how you feel with not being able to move around much without discomfort. At least those Target workout clothes make up for it! Love the bottoms- I am trying to branch out into more fun bottoms too!
Yay! Love Target- their stuff is the best!
Love Target! Glad you are starting to feel better!
I love C9 by Champion!! Where I live, there aren’t a lot of places that sell athletic apparel for women. Target has the biggest selection in town!
I love Target’s workout line. Their sports bras are some of my favorites and I LOVE how affordable they are!
I love Target workout gear! It’s always super cute and affordable, which is exactly what a cheap-o like me is looking for!
I love Target’s C9 workout clothes, especially their sports bras! Those capris are really cute-great photos.
I love them bc they make long length pants!
When you get back to full motion we have to do the Sunday Zumba at Prairie Life. I did it this week and Dillon is amazing!
Love that pocket detail in the leggings! <3
My brother got me a half zip pullover from the collection for Christmas and I LOVE it. Although I must confess I haven’t actually worn it for a workout yet! 😀
Hi Erin, you look good on your outfit. The proper workout clothes are really important. But in my case, I am not really fond of brands. Well, my girlfriend does the shopping for me. For as long as I have bright workout clothes, it’s fine with me. I have read in an article that bright workout clothes bring motivation and I must say that it is. Thanks, Steve
It does look good on you Erin. I better check myself their collections too. Thank you for the tips where to buy good qualities and affordable workout wears.
