Six months into motherhood, Alex Drummond is easing back into her workout routine. The new mom recently took to Instagram to share a glimpse of her postpartum fitness goals, starting with her staple summer uniform: matching athleisure sets from Lululemon!
Naturally, the first step of her new workout regimen was a brisk stroll around the mall. (Because shopping counts as cardio, right?) "Treated myself to a little @lululemon shopping spree to get more workout clothes that I feel comfortable in in this new body that grew and birthed a human lol," Alex shared candidly over a snap of a big shopping bag.
Among her first picks? A lovely lavender tank and shorts combo, which she already wants to purchase in another color. "Okay ordering this tank + shorts combo in black as well because I'm obsessed!! But this lavender color is so fun," Alex said. Starting from the top down, the Ebb to Street Tank Top from Lululemon features a built-in bra and seamless support for an ultra-flattering fit. Add in the adorable ribbed material, and you've got a winner!
Up next is the Shake It Out High-Rise Running Short, which also comes in the shade Lavender Frost. "They're honestly really comfortable and flattering for the current state of things," she joked. "They're super breezy and flowy." Whether you're chasing a toddler (or a George), squeezing in a quick workout, or simply running errands, a solid matching set can go a long way. After all, what better way to look and feel put together without much effort?
To mix things up, Alex also picked up a pair of more fitted style of shorts from Lululemon's fan-favorite Align collection: the Align High-Rise Short. "Love everything Align!! Just had to get some updated sizing," she explained, adding that the buttery-soft pieces are still her go-to—just with a fit that better suits her now. Of course, she couldn't leave without the matching Align Tank Top, a timeless staple that will serve her whether she's taking Sofia and George for a walk or heading to Trader Joe's for her favorite snacks. "Can't go wrong with a good all black set! Gonna be living in biker shorts this summer," she wrote.
So, if you're looking for inspiration to refresh your own workout drawer—or just want to rock a cute set while doing life this summer—Alex's picks are the perfect place to start. Scroll on to shop her favorites and get ready to join the matching set movement!
