calliope_music

any recommendations? i like to walk and occasionally jog (aka huff and puff for around a minute at a time). any good brands, etc?

also, WTF is compression workout gear? will this keep me warmer, or just hold everything in place so i don't jiggle as much?

I just hit TJ Maxx today and they had a great selection of Nike and others that will be great for the colder weather. Check out the You Tube video. Someone else on MFP recommended this the other day, he talks about how to safely dress for winter workouts.

I wear an Under Armour cold gear compression turtle neck top as a base layer then put on a fleese sweater I got from Old Navy then wear a running room jacket which is really only a shell like a windbreaker but doesn`t hold in moisture. I really don`t know what the compression does, but it wicks away sweat so I`m not all cold and clammy.
For pants I wear running pants that have a wind breaker like material in the front I got from the Runing Room but I only wear them when it is really cold and windy. Usually I just wear my regualar gym pants sometimes fleese ones and I have started to wear (don`t laugh) leg warmers around my ankles/lower legs as I find when it is cold my ankles tend to stiffen a bit I don`t really care how bad it looks as long as I am comfortable! For my hands I wear mitts and a balaclava on my head to top it all off.

Oh, I am soooo not loking forward to the cold weather !

Compression gear is AWESOME. Yes, it does squeeze you, but that is not it's main function. It keeps you VERY warm. I wear CW-X compression for running long distances. I just saw an add for Old Navy and they sell it cheap, I have no idea how good it is. Google "compression pants" and you can get see what exactly it does. For runners it reduces fatigue in the legs and promotes circulation. If you are just looking for warmth, I bet the Old Navy stuff will do the trick. It is VERY slimming. Nike has good cold weather stuff and so does under armour, but I think I will only be wearing compression this winter.

I have the Old Navy compression pants and they're warm and great to run in. I bought a bunch of work out clothes from ON, it was a great call, cheap but warm.
