Finding a sports bra that fits well but still lets you breathe, can be a tricky pursuit. But this classic v-shaped design by Lululemon is comfortable with the quick-drying fabric offering support and stretch. The front features a flattering plunge neck while there are intricate straps showcasing the back. It can be worn with or without padding. Fit for yoga, running and other sports, it's the perfect staple item for your gym bag. It comes in three colour ways including black, a snazzy multi-pink print and violetta.
Containing multi-strain, live and active bacteria based on an extract of germinated barley, Symprove is a water-based probiotic that really works. Four varieties of probiotic bacteria are added to the extract which provides the perfect food for the bacteria to thrive. Unlike other probiotics, Symprove does not trigger digestion which allows bacteria to pass through the stomach and get to work. As the bacteria are already active and growing in the water based formula, they can immediately start to colonise and multiply in the intestine. As fitness fanatics become ever more interested in gut health, Symprove is leading the way.

Shades include ¿teal¿, ¿porcelain pink¿ and ¿quicksand¿. To keep your hands warm, the jacket features thumb holes and pieces of fabric around the cuffs that can be folded over in cooler weather. In warmer weather, there is a flap on the back panel to allow for a bit of ventilation. A good year-round piece!
The perfect all-around top for all your training activities. The Dakota top from sportwear brand Bjorn Borg features a regular, loose fit and a soft cotton feel, making it extremely comfortable to wear while working out. It is also constructed with a special fabric that works at repelling sweat and excess moisture as it's produced. The vest is available in various colour ways including blue, red and black
