Hi....Does anyone know where I can buy short length jogging bottoms? I am 5ft 2 (size 6) and would be looking for around 28 inch inner leg. Just wondering where the shorter girls are getting their fitness clothing from as I see a couple for indoor gym work but none that are warm enough for outdoors.

    Hi, I'm 5'4" with a 29 inside leg and I sometimes find shorter length jogging bottoms in M&S. Or, I get running tights and just cope with some bunching around the ankle!

    Cheers saree...:smile: That is a good idea about the running tights - I never even looked at them. This may sound silly but what top would you wear with them? I will also have a look at Marks and Sparks.

    hi. I am 5 foot and a 27 inch leg (how small?? :)) i get my joggers from M&S and for the gym i usually wear capri running tights/leggings as they are the only ones which fit leg wise which won't trip me up.

    Top wise I tend to get men's wicking fabric t shirts as they're looser fitting and therefore skim over the cake shelf. :smile:

    I have the opposite trouble! Im 5ft 11 and they all seem like ankle swingers on me..... So I've plumped for shorts! :)

    I found that the Next petite section is pretty good. :flowerforyou:

    Thanks twinky and kelleh :flowerforyou: ....Twinky - I love 'sports direct' for sweat tops....has anyone tried 'Go Outdoors' they are good too - but again for tops not bottoms. Kelleh - I forgot about Next (I used to shop there but haven't for years).

    Just to add that I am new and would love other 'shorties' to friend me as I find the calorie amounts are smaller for us and also has anyone noticed you only have to put on a teeny bit of weight for it to show up when you are petite.... .:ohwell:

    I bought petite jeans from Next. They were just the right fit. Although I'm taller than the 'petite' woman, I could not get Next's regular legs to fit me! So their petite fit me wonderfully!
