New year, new you. Granted, it’s likely that your physique will still be hampered by the same limitations as last year, but that’s not to say you can’t improve on it in 2022. For those who aren’t sure where to begin, an easy point of entry is to take measures to lead a more active lifestyle through avenues like running. This efficacious, no-frills workout can be conducted at your own time and pace and is a low-pressure alternative to spin or HIIT classes that present an intimidating front to fledgling gym-goers.
The sartorially-conscious set will be pleased to hear that you’ll be able to do so in style, too. Here, Vogue Singapore has you covered with a curation of fashion-forward kicks to help you along on your fitness journey. Spy them all, below.
