What to wear to a health & fitness bootcamp

I'm away for a few days at a health and wellbeing bootcamp, more of which at a later date, suffice to say that  it's day two and I'm hungry and exhausted. As this is the first time I've ever done anything like this, I am also ashamed about my tatty sports kit. The 10-year-old black leggings that I've been happily wearing for cycling and Pilates suddenly feel shabby, and I'm the only person wearing the complimentary fuchsia  bootcamp t-shirt. If this wasn't embarrassing enough, I've just received the following email from a new reader asking for fashion advice:

'I am 59 and floundering about what to wear for the gym and for outdoor bootcamp. Not really liking my current black leggings and fluoro T shirt (bought in sale) combo. If there is something I could look at on your blog, maybe you’d be kind enough to advise.'

I kid you not. This is either the biggest coincidence in history, or a practical joke by one of my fellow bootcampers. If it is a coincidence, thank you Marion for  your email, do excuse my paranoia, I will get back to you on my return. In the meantime,  I will surreptitiously check out my fellow bootcampers and try to determine if there is a prankster in the house. And, tell you what I wish I was wearing:

As this is a re-set retreat, designed to encourage participants to de-stress and detox, activities include swimming, Nordic walking and Pilates, I wish I had kitted myself out in Hush. Mandy the owner is a real yoga bunny and so the daywear collection has a lovely relaxed feel:  'I love to be comfortable in my clothing. If it digs in, falls down, or generally reminds me that I have it on...I don't wear it.'

Whilst this is not yoga/sportswear per se, it's the kind of versatile clothing that's chic enough to hang out in at the weekend, and relaxed enough for Pilates. And yes, I am such a lazy sod, that I often go to class in whatever I'm wearing at the time. Without changing. So Hush suits me down to the ground. There are lots of simple t-shirts and Sloppy Joe sweatshirts, and a good selection of harem pants and slim-leg joggers. My outfit of choice would  either be the jersey camouflage pants and grey sweatshirt (above), or the camouflage Sloppy Joe and charcoal pants below. 

I also like Mandy's philosophy, 'Try and fail but don't fail to try.' I shall be repeating that to myself later this evening, when a midnight raid on the kitchen feels like a good idea.
