It's a rather strange loop to be stuck in, won't you agree? The loop of resolutely resolving to start your work out regime tomorrow evening, Monday morning, or the first of next month, followed by deferring action, making excuses, and settling on a different date to get cracking on those fitness goals. Oh, I'm very familiar with this cycle. The good part is you have plenty of things to place the blame on, ranging from your strenuous working hours to piling office stress, and from lack of motivation to an absence of will power. But on the flip side, none of that will get you closer to your fitter version. Only you and your efforts can.
That being said, we did find a few things we hope would accelerate your attempts. Shoes! A lot of the times, a handy sturdy pair of shoes is the only difference between feeling like you're skipping over clouds while you jog, and feeling like you're walking on shards of glass. Comfy sole, adequate foot cushioning and a solid grip can make a truckload of difference to how much you dread or look forward to working out every day.
With all these factors in mind, we set about to find you a spectrum of incredible sports shoes for women. And because we value your savings just as much as you do, we stuck to choosing only those priced at less than Rs 3000. Go ahead, and take your pick, girls!
