When you’re lying on the sofa this December, stuffed full of Turkey, cheese and wine, clutching your stomach and moaning, it’s going to take a superhuman amount of willpower to get you off your arse, out the door and for a run. What will help is a bit of an incentive in the form of some nice new winter workout gear.

We’ve handpicked a few of our favourite items from some of our favourite brands to help motivate you to get back to your best and to keep you warm whilst exercising through the icy winter months.

Adidas Beckenbauer Tracksuit 

If you reckon you can pull this one off at the gym then more power to you because it looks great. We love a vintage look and what could be more vintage than an adidas velour tracksuit? Not much, probably.

NikeLab Gyakusou Dry Stadium Jacket 

For style-focused sportswear, NikeLab’s Gyakusou has everything you could possibly want. This technical jacket is designed by Jun Takahashi and features reflective hints throughout and a large Gyakusou logo print to the back to ensure you won’t be missed.

New Balance 910V2 Running Shoes 

Going for a run in the pouring winter rain is far from everyone’s idea of a good time but you can make it slightly more palatable with the correct footwear. These waterproof running shoes from sports footwear giants New Balance will keep your feet dry when running all that beer and chocolate off this December and January.

Nike Tech Fleece Joggers 

Military inspired designs are going to be huge next year so why not stay ahead of the trend and pick up a pair of these joggers from Nike? They don’t just look good, they’re also made from Nike’s tech fleece material which will keep you super warm when you’re out on those wintery runs.

Patagonia down vest 

A good down vest is an absolute must for winter workouts. It will keep your core temperature up without restricting the movement of your arms and whilst also allowing your underarms to breathe. Patagonia are a brand who know exactly what they’re doing when it comes to outdoor performance clothing so why not give them a try?

We feature Adidas Beckenbauer, NikeLab Gyakusou, New Balance 910V2, Nike Tech and Patagonia in this guide to 5 Stylish Winter Workout Gear Essentials.
