‘Love these’, cry shoppers as they race to Primark to nab ‘gorgeous’ new gymwear
OVER the festive period, most of us overindulge in mouth-watering Christmas foods and delicious drinks, which can lead to a little weight gain.
So it's no wonder that when it comes to January, hitting the gym quickly becomes our top New Year's resolution.
And we all want to look good at the gym, even if we are trying to get a little fitted.
Luckily, Primark's latest range has made sure we can still do exactly that - while staying comfortable.
The bargain retail giant caused a frenzy among shoppers after showing off the stunning collection on social media.
And many have been left saying they "love everything" that the new "gorgeous" collection has to offer.
It includes the Buttery Soft Gym Leggings which can be picked up for £11 in stores across Scotland.
Primark bosses have hailed it as being "designed for maximum comfort" with "a flattering high waist that stays in place during active workouts"
They added: "Made from a sumptuously smooth and stretchy fabric, whether you're hitting the gym, going for a run, or practicing yoga at home, these performance leggings provide the perfect blend of both style and functionality!"
These come in six different colours - pink, natural, burgundy, green, black and navy.
And shoppers can also pick up a matching T-shirt which costs just £9.
It's said to be perfect for all types of workouts and is made from soft stretch fabric to ensure the slim fit remains comfortable while offering optimal flexibility.
For those looking for something with longer sleeves, there's the matching Butter Performance Jacket which is a zipper with pockets and front fastening for £16.
Primark bosses say: "The full-zip design creates a smooth silhouette, while the high neck offers extra coverage for those chilly morning workouts.
"Thoughtfully placed seams and a fitted cut enhance your movement, making this black jacket perfect for the gym or casual weekend plans."
Another popular pair of bottoms in the range is the Seamless Marl Gym Leggings, which are also £11.
Describing it on the website, bosses said: "An ideal option for working out and breaking a sweat in style, these pull-on leggings have been created with gym sessions and smashing PBs in mind.
"The slim-fit silhouette sits to a high rise with a thick waistband to help provide support and comfort.
"While the rear design features ruching for a flattering fit.
"Thanks to the flexible material that contains stretch, these leggings aim to ensure easy movement whether you’re doing leg day at the gym, out for a run or using the elliptical".
And, of course, there are great gym bras for the girls with a bust that makes working out feel uncomfortable.
The Seam Detail Performance Crop Top is said to be a bra that "aims to support you through your sessions" for just £7.
The retail giant wrote on the website: "Go that extra mile in this olive green performance crop top, designed to move with you through every rep and stretch.

" Perfect for low to medium-impact activities, this top pairs seamlessly with the matching leggings for a coordinated gym look that helps you feel confident and focused during your fitness routine."
These also come with a pair of matching leggings.
