Deciding you’re going to get fit in 2018 is one thing, but actually stepping out of your front door to do any exercise can actually be really quite terrifying.

So to help you get one step to closer to that eight pack, we’ve put together a not-so-definitive list of things to buy that will help you at least feel the part while figuring out how to work a treadmill. Because sometimes it’s the small victories that matter the most.

But first, why not check out our brand new show Ex On The Beach: Body SOS and the really quite fit trainers >>>

From sports bras that are so pretty you’ll want to wear them on a night out to leggings that are guaranteed to not fall down every five seconds, this lot is a pretty good place to start if you’ve never so much as stepped inside a certain cheap high street sports store.

15 Pieces Of Activewear To Help Kick-Start 2018

  • Before you even think about stepping into a gym to kickstart that new year's resolution, make sure you're kitted out with everything you need to make sure it's not a total disaster.
    1 of 15
  • No, you can’t work out in that pair of Converse you’ve been wearing to Glastonbury since 2004. Crossfit nano 7 trainers - £89.95, Reebok.
    2 of 15
  • If you’re ready to delve into the bendy world of reformer Pilates or barre then these socks will not only give you great grip, but also keep your feet feeling fresh af. Barre gripper socks - £12, Sweaty Betty.
    3 of 15
  • Don’t fancy covering the floor with your sweat during that surprisingly energetic 80’s aerobic class? Then make sure you grab a small towel to keep you company, for everyone’s sake. Small fitness towel - £3.99, Decathlon.
    4 of 15
  • Whether you want to make sure you don’t get run over or just want to annoy the paparazzi (on the off chance J-Law is reading this), this jacket is the ultimate light reflector. Women’s reflective jacket - £34.99, Mountain Warehouse.
    5 of 15
  • Running with just your own thoughts for company can go either way, so if you’d rather have Taylor Swift screaming in your ears then a pair of headphones wouldn’t go amiss. BOSE SoundSport Wireless Bluetooth Headphones - £149.99, Currys.
    6 of 15
  • Normally fitness apps make us want to throw our phone at the wall, but this one is actually surprisingly handy at keeping track of runs and rides. Strava app - Free/£5.99pm for premium.
    7 of 15
  • We’d never say no to a pair of leggings that claim they make your legs look longer and are super soft, because that’d just be silly. Colour block ying yang legging (medium compression) - £105, BoomBoomAthletica.
    8 of 15
  • It's imperative that you carry your phone with you during any exercise, you know, just incase Khloe Kardashian announces her pregnancy. iPhone arm band - £18.99, Nike at Argos.
    9 of 15
  • Okay we know that one piece swimming costumes aren’t always the most flattering of situations, but if you rock up to your local pool wearing one people will probs mistake you for an Olympian. Right? Splice thinstrap racerback swimsuit - £28, Speedo.
    10 of 15
  • Not only is this thermal jersey really quite pretty to look at it but it’s also perfect for three out of four seasons, which would make your 2018 cycling career a whole lot more enjoyable. Gumball thermoactive jersey - £90, Morvelo.
    11 of 15
  • While we love nothing more than carrying around eight tote bags, sometimes it’s just a thousand times more practical to put everything in one backpack. Under Armour Storm backpack - £25, JDSports.
    12 of 15
  • So it turns out your hands get really freaking cold when running in the winter, who knew? Gripgrab Running hi-vis gloves - £34.95, Wiggle.
    13 of 15
  • This gym vest has won actual awards, it’s that good. It’s also made from premium Italian fabric, so that you too can feel fancy while sweating your butt off. Cross-back gym vest - £38, Zaazee.
    14 of 15
  • If 99.9% of your workout wardrobe is looking mostly black, then you might want to go all out jazzy in the sports bra department. Plus it might just get the attention of that really fit spin instructor. Starlight sports bra - £32, Bellum Active.
