What is your favorite brand of workout clothing? I'm on the hunt for new running pants, probably cropped running tights and I'll be heading to lululemon but I want to know what else people love to work out in (and why!) Doesn't have to just be running pants though! I need new work out clothes in general.



this is the pair I'm looking at : http://shop.lululemon.com/products/clothes-accessories/women-crops/Run-Mind-Over-Matter-Crop-33034?cc=8771&skuId=3410291&catId=women-crops

    I absolutely love lululemon's groove pants and groove crops. They're flattering, they wick sweat away, and they're ridiculously comfortable. I use them for cardio, weights, yoga and dance!

    Danskin all the way. I danced for years and they were always sooo comfy.

    I love Target's yoga pants! They have such a good variety in size and length, and are very reasonably priced.

    I just got some new stuff at Walmart by Danskin. SO comfortable!! I've run 2 5K's in these pants since I got them and never had problems with chafing, overheating, or anything. I love them!! And the price is right for me, too. :)

    Where do you buy it? What's the price range like? I don't mind paying more for something that will last.

    Danskin and Capezio are solid basics for dance / aerobics (but pricey).

    Athleta has cute and funky styles for yoga, and you can find decent sale prices.

    Under Armour is good for running (but also pricey).

    Champion & Jockey are good mid-priced basics that are good for everyday use, and you can find them at Target, Kohl's, etc.



    Bottom line: Wear what fits into your budget and the activities you like to do. I have some of all the above, but I wear my cheap black no-name stretch pants and old t-shirts the most often.

    I buy UA from Academy, but any sporting store usually has it. If you visit sites like 6pm.com, overstock.com... you can usually find it for less than the UA website.

    An outfit will cost me around $70, but I don't mind paying for it because it keeps me cool while I'm running. I need any kind of help in this heat zone we call Texas :tongue:

    I splurged on my Nike running pants and love them but now they are getting too warm for summer weather.

    My runner friend had cute running clothes on the other day and she said they were Danskin from WalMart so I went there and checked it out. I bought a few items and they are super comfy and look good too. Not to mention cheap!

    What do y'all recommend wearing to the gym? I usually wear men's basketball shorts and a T shirt but it certainly isn't flattering, especially when doing free weights in front of the mirror. I can't really see the muscles in my arm when I exercise to make sure I am doing it right. But what looks good when you are size 18/20? I am not going to wear tights or cutesy little shorts. Sigh. Any suggestions? I hate to shop so please be specific! THANKS!
