Gym Clothes for the Heavier Woman

Anyone know a good brand of plus size jym shorts for a woman with larger thighs? I can fit most brands around my belly but have problems with the smaller cut around the thigh area. This makes sitting exersizes like weights uncomfortable to say the least.

    The only brand I had success for (sizes 14-18, so I'm not sure if it would apply to >18) my big booty and large thighs has been Champion. And it's a lot cheaper than Nike/ADIDAS and I feel better tailored for curves. Hope that helps and hope you find something soon! Nothing worse than being uncomfortable while you're trying to get some exercise in!

    I got mine at Old Navy. They are loose at the bottom :)

    Old Navy has the best fitting workout gear for ALL sizes :) And inexpensive too!

    Old navy in Canada doesn't carry plus sizes! Best shorts IV found for exercise are these .. Bought 4 pairs to gt me through the week but now wearing them constantly .. To fit in 10-15 mins whenever I can .. So will have to get a few more pairs. Unfortunately, only 4x available at the momen! http://www.1-plus.com/Basic-activewear-shorts/714771,default,pd.html?dwvar_714771_color=Black&start=10&cgid=PE-Apparel-ActiveZone-Pants

    Walmart! All of my workout clothes are from there and they fit great. They have a variety of sizes from XS to 4X I believe...

    Yes that's true but hit & miss ... And some don't hold up well after the first wash!
