adidas Made Me Want to Exercise… Which Is Honestly Concerning
So apparently, we’re all doing stuff now. Like real, physical activity. Not just “power walking through Target” or “carrying 42 grocery bags in one trip because we refuse to make two.” No, I’m talking tennis, running, lifting, yoga—like it’s 2003 and we’re not creaky, crunchy, or on our third iced coffee trying to remember why we walked into the kitchen.
Anyway, I blame adidas. Their new women’s shoes and workout gear is so good, I almost signed up for a hot yoga class. (Then I remembered what heat does to my attitude and stayed home. But still. Almost.)
Here’s what’s worth clicking “Add to Cart” for:
🎾 Shoes for Tennis… or So You Can Look Like You Play Tennis
I haven’t played tennis since I wore butterfly clips and drank Snapple like it was a personality trait. But these shoes? These make me want to smash a backhand and pretend I remember what a backhand even is.
They’re cute, supportive, and won’t make you feel like you’re wearing orthopedic punishment. Ideal for chasing balls or small children, both of which are fast, unpredictable, and occasionally scream for no reason.
👟 The Lightest Running Shoes for the Heaviest Mental Load
Sometimes I run. Sometimes I “run” errands in full athleisure and a messy bun that says “she tried.” Either way, these featherlight running shoes are coming with me.
They’re so weightless I forget I am wearing shoes. Which is also how I feel when I walk into a room and forget why I’m there—except these are way more supportive.
These babies make you feel fast, even if your version of sprinting is chasing your dog through the neighborhood in pajama pants. (And if you have Boxers, you’ll know how relatable THAT is.)
🧘♀️ Yoga Clothes for Stretching… the Truth About How Often You Work Out
Listen. I’ve done yoga exactly one time in the last three months, and it was mostly laying on the mat wondering if I had enough almond milk for tomorrow’s smoothie while my toddler climbed over me. But thanks to adidas, I looked incredible while doing it.
These yoga outfits pass the real tests: squat-proof, muffin-top resistant, and don’t roll down during your one heroic attempt at a plank. Also, you can nap in them. Which is… the highest compliment I can give workout clothes.
Final Thoughts From a Tired, Well-Dressed Woman In Her Yoga Outfit
I may not be breaking world records (unless we’re counting “fastest laundry folder under extreme duress”), but if I’m going to show up—whether it’s to a Barre class, the grocery store, or a very heated town meeting—I’m showing up in something that looks good and feels even better.
adidas gets that we need clothes that move with us, support us, and make us feel like the main character even if our “training session” was chasing the dog through the backyard in mismatched socks.
So go ahead, refresh your gear. Fake a tennis match. Speed-walk like you mean it. Do yoga for five minutes and then lay in child’s pose until the existential dread passes. Whatever your vibe is, you can do it in adidas.
And yes, your knees might still crackle… but at least you’ll look hot while listening to it.🖤
