    Anything made with wicking material. Depends on my workout for what I wear. But the C9 brand by Champion that Target carries has always worked really well for me and is not over priced.

    I have bought my last few workout things at Old Navy. Cheap and reasonably good quality. I mostly wear athletic/yoga pants and tank tops. I also bought a few sports bras at Walmart too. I don't do anything super high impact, so I'm not too concerned about their "holding power". :-)

    Kohl's, they have a one day sale about once a week! The clearance racks at big box sports stores, Nordstom's Rack {sp?}, and once a year I treat my self to a piece of Lulemon {again sp?} for my birthday.

    I have a mix of the pricier stuff, like from Athleta ( $50 capris), and the cheaper stuff, from Forever 21 ( $8 capris). I prefer the more expensive stuff because it makes my body look better and moves better with me, but I only have so much money :)

    Do you have a Ross near you? I have found the best priced yoga pants, sports/bra/tanks there for under $10 an item.
    I love the yoga pant in capri length, they are tight fitting and work great for ALL the different exercising I do...They don't ride up
    as I run/walk, keep legs warm as I ride my bike and work great with all the classes I take at the gym.
    I have found as previously mentioned above, Old Navy has a good selection(just a wee bit more than Ross).
    Like Ross, TJ Maxx also has a great selection, just a tiny bit more per piece($3-$8 more)

    Good Luck!

    Target, Old Navy, TJ Maxx & Marshall's are my go-to sources for my workout & running gear. Love getting big brand name stuff on the clearance racks at TJ's & Marshall's for under ten bucks. :bigsmile:

    Favorite sports bras are from Target, Champion brand. Ones that don't have the removable padding-too big of a pain to deal with after I wash them.
    My absolute favorite pants to run in are by LuLuLemon, their "fast and free" cropped pants. Expensive but awesome. I also have some non-compression ones from Old Navy & Target, Champion brand as well, that I like.

    I used to get whatever Kohl's had for a decent price. Now we have an Academy Sports and they have a great variety for a good range of prices. I'm still going for whatever's cheap since I hope to need smaller sizes soon.

    My entire work out wardrobe consists of danskin. I have danskin shoes, shorts, bras, and tank tops. One thing about the danskin shoes though, they only seemed to last for a year and the sole fell off, worn strictly for working out. I bought a pair of athletecs from K-mart and they have lasted a year and haven't started to fall apart yet. I wear them running and during my indoor exercise too. I am a bigger girl and the danskin high impact bras are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

    I used to just wear a ratty old t-shirt and shorts but I figured that if I spend money work out clothes I liked it would inspire me to work out more, and it did.

    Anyways, danskin is good, shorts for $5-$10, shirts for the same price. The bras can be a little more at $12-$15.

    Good luck.

    I Have a few under armor capris, I love them! Form fitting, but very comfy! My favorite tops are the c9 tops from target. They are my favorite. I probably have them in every color. I just bought a long sleeve gap body workout shirt for the cold weather. Well see how they work. : )

    I adidas pants, and champion sports bras from Sports Authority and Target.
    Recently treated myself to a Lulumon jacket and a few tanks for my birthday :)

    Kohls sometimes, but mostly Danskin from Walmart of all places. Sometimes 7 bucks for tops, 5 bucks for shorts, and 10 or 12 bucks for capri/yoga pants. Have held up very well and I workout everyday. The Target stuff was okay trying it on, but I didn't buy any.
