workout gear....recommendations??

Guinners

i've had these capris from lucy for 3+ years (well, the similar older version), and they are still in amazing condition. they're great for every kind of workout, fit well and stay in place. they're on the expensive end, but worth the money...i mean, i've been working out in them for years! i have some other lucy pants and tops and i would say they are all great quality, but these are definitely my go-to's.

and even though i usually prefer compression gear/tights, i just picked these pants up at old navy and like them a lot. they stay in place too (i feel you on the falling down thing...not cute).

as for shoes, i over pronate when i run, so need shoes that are stable and supportive. i like asics best, and am on my third pair of GT-2160s. definitely helps to go to a good running store for the first time though, so they can help find what works for you.

and don't forget good socks to go with your shoes! makes a difference, especially when running. i prefer under armour no-show socks, but anything with embedded arch support is good.

i'm also totally loving all the bright colors that are showing up in workout gear lately! the C9 line at Target has some cute/fun stuff...just got pair of fuchsia capri tights today (on clearance) and they survived their first run tonight...so score!

I am cheap as hell when it comes to buying clothes! I order mostly everything I buy online and search the web for coupon codes. I NEVER pay full price for anything. Why spend a lot of money on clothes that I am going to be too small for in a couple of months anyway? I am a big girl and I LOVE Old Navy workout clothes the best! I've paid $5 for a sports bra, $10 for compression capris, and $10 for a tank top. BTW if you join their mailing list you get a coupon for $10 off $50 and they offer free shipping every day for orders over $50! Their sports bras prevent the bounce, the stretchy capris are comfortable and fashionable, and the tank tops hold in the tummy. For shoes, I LOVE New Balance. I'm on my 2nd pair. The first I ordered through East Bay (with a 20% coupon) and the 2nd I bought from Dillard's for like $20 (it was an end of season clearance). When I first started working out I got some workout gear from Wal-Mart and it was okay, but the sports bras are HORRIBLE! I just ordered some stuff from K-Mart, hopefully that works out well.

I've heard good things about NB shoes.... may get some for crosstraining... ;0)

If you are a runner or planning to be one then I suggest Roadrunner for shoes. They are not cheap but they fit you properly to help keep you from having joint pain and other issues. For pants, I like Old Navy. Their compression pants are amazing and they often have good sales on them. I recently got a pair for under $7. I haven't found a great sports bra yet and I just wear normal exercise shirts from where ever they are on sale.

A friend of mine just told me about this place called Second Sole. Plan to increase my running and my current shoes feel like lead on my feet. They are killing my shins........

Old Navy compression pants.... thank you!

I love Target's Champion line of workout clothes and Academy Sports & Outdoors for general low prices on workout wear.
