Where can I buy some reasonably priced workout clothing? I need something that will hold everything still so I can start running. I have a LOT of "extra stuff" & am unable to run at this time. Please no rude comments. Serious answers only. Thanks!

    Marshalls or one of its sister stores. Or honestly, I've heard good things about thrift stores... maybe garage sales, too?

    http://www.amazon.com/Everlast-All-In-One-Slimmer-Small-Medium/dp/B000V63NR0/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1342489611&sr=1-1

    Look for one of those ^. When I had that problem, my sister bought me one of those. Not only does it "hold you in" so you don't have any extra movement (which can be painful, it was in my midsection area when I tried to do jumping jacks/run), it makes you sweat more!!!!! Goes from directly under the boobs to right at the knee. Loved mine.

    That way you can wear whatever you want over it. :-)

    p.s. My Everlast brand one lasted over 2 years. I just stopped wearing it because I didn't really need it anymore.

    I looooove Target. The Champion sports bras are on sale this week (at my target, anyway)! They are the best!

    Im just curious if anyone knows of any compression shorts similar to Under Armour. But a little less cheaper. I don't mind paying the 22$ price for the shorts. I just can't afford to have as many as i'd like. When it comes to working out, I like quality, which is why I pay a little more for most of the stuff I get.

    Marshalls and Target work for me :)
    I read recently that if you dress "the part" you'll act "the part"...its true. Also, treat yourself to a few work out outfits that make you feel good.

    You can also find (occasionally) good deals directly on some of the manufacturers website (adidas, Under Armour etc) or at the outlet malls - usually the clearance stuff is "last year's" models or colours but you're looking for clothes to work out in not a car.

    I love Kohl's for their Fila wear. If you get a coupon, you can often get 15-30% off, plus everything is always on sale. Target has decent C9 stuff too.

    And if you have boobs... invest in a few good workout bras. They may cost more but you'll feel more comfortable working out.

    I get some great stuff at TJMaxx. There is a brand of capris called "The GIrls" that are great. There is one style with "tummy control". Look for those. I wear them to Zumba and my belly feels supported.

    I find alot of stuff at TJ Maxx (sister store to Marshall's), Ross stores are similar too.

    Then also try JC Penny's. They had alot of good stuff when i worked there.

    I've noticed there is a lot on clearance on the Old Navy website, no idea about their quality though!

    You can try out Target-- they're work out gear is pretty reasonably priced. I buy sports bras from there and so far they've held up. For tops and bottoms I mostly just use old t-shirts and sweats though and the best place for things? Thrift stores.

    I am glad to see others said Target. I LOVE the Champion line also. I found some great shorts that have a built in "stretchy" Lycra under short! so they hold everything in and look super cute. SO NICE! the Champion shirts are nice and bright and they keep the sweat off you too. They have lasted me forever also!

    I use reebok because I found a store that sells them for $8 bucks. Also adidas sells 2 for $22 I believe and Jockey is the same.

    also, I wear my regular (no underwire) bra AND a tight sports bra to keep the girls under wraps, nothing is more painful!!!

    Walmart just recently put out a new line of womens size workout gear, haven't purchased any yet so don't know quality but prices were petty good

    I like the Danskin brand at Wal-Mart and the store brand at Academy sports.

    << Being in size 20's I have also had a hard time finding - or shoudl I say, looking for something and feeling embarressed when I didnt find anything. I know alot of stores have "plus size" or "women sizes" but most of them are ugly. I wish I could find some cute work out gear too :/

    Right now I have my nikes, a pair of black leggings, and layered tank tops lol

    I buy everything at Academy, and I buy their brand (I think it's called BCG?). All my spandex shorts, running shorts, and sports bras are their brand. I love them.

    Honestly, these are the best sports bras ever! http://bounce.titlenine.com/category/bras/sports-bra.do?nType=1

    If you go to Target, get the ones that have the snaps in the back. They are sized also so you can find the right ones for you. Good luck! Nothing worse then being beat up while running! :wink:

    Oh, I also LOVE the running skirts at Target to hide my jiggly butt. I wear them with compression shorts under them though. I found that the built in shorts ride up and then chafe.

    I have plenty of bras, my issue is the extra stuff (belly, thighs, upper arms) rubs and is heavy & painful when I'm trying to run. I need something to hold everything still so I can run.

    I get all of my workout clothes from Target: I have three pairs of basketball shorts that I wear twice before washing, I have about five shirts that I wear once before washing. I have one sports bra from Victoria Secret. It was pricey, but it gives me the support I need. I'll wear it multiple times before washing; I figure I'm just going to get dirty anyway so it doesn't matter if it's not clean.

    I bought Moving Comfort bras on sale online at Sierra Trading Post. I also checked out Moving Comfort online too because some colors are being discontinued so they are discounted. For workout clothing, I went with Old Navy for compression pants and Walmarts for shorts and shirts.
