But what I have a hard time with is the pressure to wear stylish, designer, and, more often than not, pricey fitness clothes to work out. Adriana Lima and Erin Heatherton show off their super-stylin' workout clothes. It was especially persistent when I lived on New York's Upper West Side, where the yoga studios, health clubs, and fancy lunch places are ruled by designer Lycra-pants-wearing cliques—you know what I mean, right?
