NIKE FREE METCON 5 UNBOXING

For the last few months, I've been on the search for a new pair of workout shoes. I do a lot of walking, HITT classes and weightlifting at home so I wanted an all-in-one cross-training shoe that I could use for everything. Over the last few years I've been wearing the HOKA Clifton 8s for most of my workouts. I definitely went out of my comfort zone purchasing them and while they've been decent shoes, I was never in love with them. I think maybe a different style would have suited my lifestyle better! 

My biggest issue has been they lack stability and support for weightlifting. Hokas definitely have a chunkier sole which elevates the foot and in my experience, causes the heel to slip up a lot. I notice this the most when lifting, doing lunges, etc. 

After doing a bit of research, I kept seeing the Nike Free Metcon 5 pop up as one of the best options for cross-training. I've never really bought any Nike shoes so I didn't know what to expect, however the reviews sold me. I also like the style of the shoe so we're going to give them a try! I like that they look sleek and a little funky. Also way way less chunky than the HOKA, haha. 

My first initial thoughts are that they're very light on the feet + they do feel stable. They don't bend much at all. I haven't broken them in yet so I can't comment on comfortability but straight out of the gate they are more firm. This doesn't surprise me, especially in comparison to something like the HOKA. 

I also sized up from an 8 to an 8.5 which fits great. I do know Nikes historically run small and many of the reviews also suggested that so if you're interested in purchasing, I think it's a good tip! 

These are just my first impressions and I'm excited to see if these enhance my workouts. I'll definitely keep you posted as I break them in over the next few months! 

Do you have a favorite workout shoe?

Today I checked off my first Orangetheory workout of 2023. In case you missed my 2023 Resolutions post, a few of my goals for the year are to keep up with my workouts and just be healthier overall. Ever since first signing up back in September, I've been wanting to buy some new workout clothes to wear. I think having a cute outfit can boost your motivation to go to the gym and just makes the entire process more enjoyable. The start of the New Year feels like the perfect time to refresh with a few new pieces, especially if you can snag them on sale!

Target currently has a ton of workout clothes on sale for 30% off which is a great buy. I was shopping online and kept finding so many cute things, I figured you might like some of them too. I've been wanting some new tops and a few sports bras, however I ended up finding these shorts too. They're only $11 so I thought, why not? Most of the time shorts are at least $40-50+ when you look! They'll also be nice for casual outfits once it gets warmer out.

New boujee workout clothes was obviously the answer so I'm giving a whole new meaning to the word "fitspo." Which would you pick?
