I am hoping some of the other plus ladies can share what workout gear they use. I have problems finding exercise pants that stay tight in the waist. I really wish I knew what they wore on all those TV shows.

Share what you might wear!

    I have Body Bleu yoga pants (capri length) I got 2 for $15 at Costco and Reebok shorts. These fit wonderfully and stay put.

    I just bought some at target and wear them ALL the time. They are not spandex although they do have them there. But I bought capris that are cotton in the workout area. Hope you have a Target near you...

    I used to wear Old Navy all the time but they changed styles and I don't like them as much.

    I got my yoga pants at Target, they're Mossimo (?) brand and I LURVE them. Do try them on, however, because I got mine too big and they're already trying to abandon ship.

    I find that Danskin in Walmart have the best options, styles, cuts and a great cute variety.. I also recommend their stay dry materials its moisture wicking which is nice living in hot climates.

    Kohl's carries the Jennifer Lopez label, which offers plus sizes in fashionable styles!

    I got my gear at Target and love them....try the pants on though because I went to purchase another pair and they just don't fit like my 1st pair, and they are the same brand just different style...I haven't tried the pants from Walmart yet, but I have gotten the shirts. The shirts I got from Target are much more comfortable though...So I'd say try Target. Old Navy pants never fit me right, so I gave up on them long ago.

    I actually buy the Victoria's Secret Size Large in their capris for working out. Also, I like Old Navy as well. I've also seen quite a bit of workout gear at Walmart too :)

    Have you looked at JC Pennys? They have really re-vamped their store. The X-cursion (spelling) brand is great!!! And another thing I like, they change their stock/design often.

    They have up to XL in one section, and XXL and above in another section.

    You will be PLEASANTLY surprised.

    I got mine at JCPenny's. They are stretchy but they stay up if I'm running or lifting weights.

    I'm not sure what size you wear- but I swear by Old Navy's Compression pants - ONLY the compression ones. I battle half my work out class to keep my pants up if they aren't those. One of my plus size instructors recommended Fit Couture www.fitcouture.com for great pants that dont slide while working out.
    The cotton yoga type pants tend to stretch the most, so I can't wear them any more. Look for something with a drawstring as well, that way you can tighten to your liking so they dont fall down!
