Determined to get in shape for 2025 — or at least drop those extra 10 pounds you carried around all of 2024? I feel you. The thing about setting fitness goals for the new year is that most of us don't stick to them past the one-month mark, myself very much included. But I've got a trick up my sleeve this year, and I think it's gonna be foolproof: Lululemon workout gear.

Ok, hear me out. Experts say that wearing something you love can actually motivate you to hit the gym. It's the old 'when you look good, you feel good' theory. And let's face it: Lululemon is the gold standard for activewear. Lulu doesn't just make clothes to work out in; they make statement pieces that go the distance. Just run your hand across their famous Nulu fabric and you'll know exactly what I mean. So if you're serious about getting fit (or you just want to look cute walking the dog), these 11 workout essentials from Lululemon are the perfect starting point — and they start at just $18.

Once upon a time, this belt bag might have gotten its name because you can strap it on your waist and go everywhere with it. But now I'm fairly certain that this bag is everywhere, and it's one of Lululemon's most iconic accessories. The water-repellent bag securely holds all your essentials in all kinds of weather — and if you're looking for a Lulu status symbol piece, it's this one.

You can't go wrong with black or bone, but this bag comes in seven colors. (Curious just how much fits inside? We had Yahoo editors put it to the test and report back!)

You've probably heard all about Lululemon's iconic Align leggings (here at Yahoo Life, we just named them the most comfortable pair out there!). Yes, I'm a huge fan, too, but I happen to find the bootcut style even more practical than the traditional yoga pants style. They're made of the same blissfully soft, second-skin-like Nulu fabric that the brand is famous for and they're a dream to work out in. They can also be dressed up for date night or dinner with friends.

Grab a pair in black or one of four other color options, and ensure the perfect fit by choosing between short, regular and tall lengths.

This full-coverage, medium-support sports bra is ideal for pretty much any activity — and if you're like me, you like to wear yours in place of a regular bra, too. Lulu's trademark fabrics are at it again: Luxtreme is designed for a moisture-wicking, chafe-free workout and it's even cool to the touch.

Choose from a slew of cute colors, including the feminine Milkshake (pink) and the rich Rainforest Green.

Planning to cycle your way to a healthier mind, body and soul this year? Make sure to stay hydrated. This BPA-free, squeezable water bottle holds 26 ounces of water and keeps it tasting fresh thanks to a glass-like liner.

The bottle fits snugly in your bike's bottle holder and even has a leak-proof spout. Oh, and it gets bonus points for being 100 percent recyclable.

Meet your new favorite running shoe, walking shoe and just hanging out shoe. This Lulu style does the white sneaker trend right, but it comes in an intriguing purple-and-pink color combo too.

It's not just the style that makes these kicks so coveted, though. They actually have a thick layer of foam for shock absorption and are designed to ergonomically support the way a woman's foot lands. And their breathable mesh upper keeps your whole foot cradled in comfort.

Strut your way to the gym locker room in this billowy jacket or throw it on for a runway-ready morning jog. It's breathable, sweat-wicking and soft as can be — plus, it has four-way stretch, so it moves more comfortably than a typical windbreaker.

This upbeat fuchsia color brings the jacket to life, but if neutral is more your style, it also comes in black or white.

These high-waisted leggings are constructed pretty brilliantly, getting ahead of some common issues we run into while being active. If you sweat easily, you'll love that this pair is made of Everlux fabric, which is primarily designed to keep you cool and dry (it's also super soft). The other genius feature is an internal drawstring at the waist, which makes these leggings adjustable — not a muffin top in sight.

Customize your pair even further by choosing from more than a dozen colors and four different lengths.

One of the great things about Lululemon is that their pieces can be mixed and matched, and this baggy muscle tank is a perfect example. It comes in three colors that you can pair with shorts, leggings or skorts. It covers your bum, so the sky's the limit.

Don't be afraid to go for a sweaty hike or a rigorous run — this top is sweat-wicking, too.

This is your go-to lightweight, long-sleeve workout top taken to the next level. That's because the mesh layer is designed to wick moisture and prevent chafing thanks to minimal seams (also a great feature for people with sensory processing issues).

The shirt is designed to move with you, too — it's stretchy and won't ride up when you're running.

If these chilly winter days have you dreaming of a cozy, chunky sweatshirt, I have just the thing: this half-zip version that's made of cotton-blend fleece. The high neck and thumbholes help you feel covered up when winds pick up. And according to Yahoo Life senior editor Jessica Dodell-Feder, it's perfect to wear "post-workout with leggings."

The sweatshirt even has a kangaroo pouch to keep items like your phone and keys secure on those days when you'd rather not carry a purse.

There's no style dilemma that a fun pair of socks can't fix. This pair isn't just cute; it bears reflective details, a supportive heel cup and it even has arch support. These crew socks truly go the extra mile.

I love the white and pink look, but they also come in gray and black. No matter what color you choose, they're destined to be a great addition to your next Pilates workout.
