The beginning of a new year often leaves people determined to swap staying in bed for spin classes - and stick to it. But finding the willpower to do so in this cold climate when it's dark outside before and after work hours, is no easy feat.

Alongside the idea of feeling physically strong and having improved mental health, the other major motivator for fashion lovers is a running-ready outfit that makes us feel glam even when dripping in sweat.

The actress wore a figure-sculpting navy legging and sports bra set, and her hair tied in a high wavy pony (who's hair looks this good upside down?).

As we discussed in our luxury activewear brand round-up, "feeling confident in your workout gear is beyond important, what you wear can be instrumental in determining not only the success levels of your workout but providing the motivation needed to actually get off the sofa and into the spin studio."

The fashion set is clearly also on the 'new year, new me' hype.

Singer and fashion designer Rita Ora took to Instagram wearing a slick red matching two-piece, a long-sleeved crop top and high-waisted shorts set that was perfect for anything from pilates to a coffee run, supermodel and socialite Kendall Jenner has teamed up with British cool-girl workout brand Adanola for a new activewear edit swathed in sophisticated colour palettes, and  Cindy Crawford's daughter Kaia Gerber opted for a basic white tank top and workout shorts featuring a black colourway, a super-short cut and a fitted high-waisted rise.

Rita Ora wears a long sleeve deep red crop top with matching high waisted shorts. She also wears gold jewellery and an amethyst pendant, and wears her hair in loose, fresh curle.s
