By Jessica Conway, GalTime.com
When it comes to working out, my main concern is staying fit, but looking cute while burning calories is a close second!
Put away those baggy tees and oversized exercise pants! From fitted track jackets to trendy board shorts, there are plenty of figure-flattering ways to show off the body you've worked so hard for!
Fitness expert Nicole Glor gives GalTime the 411 on workout wear that will have you looking (and feeling) good!
Fitted zipper jackets, like the Lululemon Define Jacket ($99), will help slim your arms and flattern your tummy. These styles are also great for keeping you warm during outdoor workouts or yoga sessions. Glor always wears fitted zipper jackets during her on-air fitness segments!
Longer tanks will also help minimize the stomach, and some can even camouflage that dreaded muffin top! Tanks like the Lululemon Practice Freely Tank ($58) give you room to breathe, while hiding a larger midsection.Their loose, flowy fabric help you move around in style...and cool you down!

To help cover up a bigger chest, look for fitness tops like the New Balance Shell Tank ($41.99) and choose your own bra size for the best fit.
Fitted tanks, like the Under Armour Women's PIP Ribbed Top ($14.99) include a racer back for support, while accentuating the chest and stomach. These tanks are great for any type of exercise, from outdoor workouts to indoor Pilates classes! Look for cotton fabrics that breathe.
