Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Getting fit and trim is top of the agenda for many women at this time of year, particularly those who overindulged over Christmas. But whether it’s following a home-fitness DVD, working out at the local gym or braving the elements for some outdoor exercise, your starting point will be getting the right attire.
The problem is that finding a decent sports bra, good winter running tights or fitness swimsuit is often easier said than done.
So we’ve found done some digging so that you don’t have to. Ranging from Zoggs Narabeen Speedback Swimsuit to USA PRO Capri Pants, we’ve identified sportswear that will help you build strength, tone up and burn fat, whether it’s in the swimming pool, at the gym, in the fitness studio, outside or at home.
