Spend more time thinking about your hot boot camp instructor than your workout clothes?

The Bite:
Hel-lo? It's unlikely you'll get anywhere near his medicine balls wearing sweatpants from last century, so give your workout wardrobe an update with eco styles that'll get 'em sweating before class even starts.
The Benefits: 
  • Burning calories, not the Earth. By using recycled bottles in some clothing, just one company (Patagonia) has kept more than 86 million bottles out of landfills.
  • Breathability. Our skin's responsible for 1/7th of our respiration; natural fibers like bamboo and hemp are great since they're breathable.
Personally Speaking: 
Two things you know about Jen if you've ever met her: 1) She lives in Bamboosa, and 2) she hardly washes her bamboo shirts. But it's not as dirty as it sounds: Bamboo contains bamboo kun, an antibacterial agent that naturally prevents odor.
Wanna Try: 

Cocktail Fact

Barbells of gold? Gymrats at the Bosse Sports and Health Club in Sudbury, MA, pay up to $50,000 for an annual membership.

Bang For The Bite

If 10,000 Biters wear a workout tee made of recycled poly instead of new materials, we'll keep 140,000 soda bottles out of trash heaps.
