Thank you Nordstrom for sponsoring this post.
Whether you made it a goal for 2022 to be more active, or you’re a longtime lover of fitness, there’s nothing like the motivation of cute activewear to get you going. Today, I’m sharing a few new petite-friendly finds from Nordstrom’s Zella activewear that have the perfect blend of style and performance.
Petite-Friendly Activewear
I personally love to be active! I made it a goal of mine ten years ago after my first pregnancy to stick to a weekly fitness regimen, and ten years later I’m still at it. Sure not every week is perfect, but I aim to work out 3-5 times a week. To keep it interesting I mix up my workouts between weight training (my favorite), yoga, barre, and interval cardio. If I had one tip for staying consistent with fitness, it’s finding what you love and going for it and that may change from week to week and year to year. There’s no need to stick with something you don’t enjoy or you’re bored with to attempt to achieve some sort of ideal body type. Instead of making it a goal to be a certain size or weight, just make it your goal to be active and the reward will be how good you feel.
Zella Elevate
If you love low impact exercise like yoga or Barre you may love this Zella Elevate set. It’s light and ultra-flexible to move with you, without being ultra-high compression. The bra top does have pads, but I would consider it to be light on the support spectrum. The leggings have a little bit of bunching at the ankle on me, but I would still consider them to be petite-friendly in XS.

Studio Lite 7/8 Leggings
The Studio Lite 7/8 leggings are meant to be cropped, but on me, they’re full-length. The Studio Lite line has a little more support and compression, making them great for running, lifting, or any high-impact exercise. They also have a little pocket at the waist for carrying something small if you’re out for a run. In the first outfit, I’m wearing them with a simple tank top and a supportive sports bra. If you wanted to wear it out for errands after your workout, you could tie a top around your waist and call it a day or just wear it as is.

This next outfit is also with Studio Lite 7/8 leggings in burgundy. The matching bra is lightweight, but it doesn’t have cups or lining and the support is very minimal. While I love that it matches the leggings, you may prefer this bra for a little more support. The leggings look great with a tunic top for running errands before or after your workout as well. I’m wearing the top in XS and it’s a little longer in the back for nice coverage.

Zella Live In Leggings
Last, is my favorite pair of leggings from Zella, the Live In Leggings. This is the only pair in the post that is actually petite, so the fit is the best overall. They’re soft and have the perfect amount of compression and support. They’re great for all types of workouts as well as just wearing out for errands or layering in cool weather. Also, I haven’t mentioned the shoes yet, but they’re so comfortable! They slip on and have a cushioned footbed. I’m wearing them in a size 5 which is my true size.
