Good workout clothes on a college budget?

Another big investment: work out bra. I have a high impact Moving Comfort Bra that I bought off of Amazon (on sale with free shipping) for $28. It has made my life SO much easier. No more aching boobs or shoulders after ANY work out. I can run, do Zumba, jumping jacks---whatever.

I agree, get a good sports bra! - very important...As for shoes, you really can get a great pair from $50 - 80...don't feel like you have to spend over $100, it's not necessary unless you have a special consideration

I LOVE Walmart workout stuff. I work there and like FabCheeky a workout bra is a great investment. I got one at WalMart for about 15 or so. I am also a full time student and work part time so i know what a tight budget is. the have all kinds so shop around

I got several of my workout clothes from K-Mart and Target... a nice shirt, some pants, some shorts, etc. As for running shoes, I would try an actual running store. They'll look at your feet and see how you walk/run and can fit you for something that will work with your feet. It's a good thing to consider! And what you are willing to put in for them, is about how much they can be... so might as well get some great ones! Good luck!

I like walmart,modells and fashion bug for my workout gear

Goodwill or any thrift store (they are everywhere now) has some GREAT workout clothes. Just make sure you wash them before you use them. For shoes, if you are using them for running, go to an actual running store where they can measure your pronation, gait, etc so you can get the right type of running shoes. Most people don't realize that people don't have the same feet as everyone else does. And for bras, I just buy some from walmart and they work great...they are cotton and maybe 10 for three.

I used to buy expensive stuff for working out, but now I spend more of my money on good shoes and socks. I agree with most everyone that Walmart, Target and I like Kohls TekGear brand too, are great buys.

For shoes, I found that a lot of the shoes I have gotten, are on Overstock.com. They have my $120 pair of shoes on there for $60. You can always go get fitted, write down the styles and sizes you like and check online. Running warehouse is great too for shoes. That will give you the option to buy 2 pairs maybe than just one, as with running and high impact exercise you should replace your shoes every 200-300 miles.

I love goodwill and other resale shops.

If there are good outlet stores near you, then check those out. I'm fortunate enough to live close to an Underarmour outlet and a Champion outlet. When I went to Champion I was able to get 6 bras for $70... Not a bad deal.

Also, check out the sale racks in Target, Marshalls, ****'s, and Amazon. I've had luck in all those stores getting some decent stuff for pretty cheap prices.

You can definitely get a good pair of running shoes for under $100. Mine were $90, and I lovelovelove em. That said, don't look for a bargain, hell don't look at price at all until you have picked the shoe that fits you the best so you don't trick yourself into thinking that the less expensive shoe is "better" even though it isnt. I also reccommend some non-cotton running socks..they are pricey for socks, but I have found them to be helpful for avoiding blisters.

As for reccomendations for shoes, no one can do that for you. there are a jillion good shoes out there, but this is about your feet, not mine or anyone elses. Go to a running store and get fitted. Best thing you can do.

As for other clothes, I have gotten some stuff at target that is fine, and every once in awhile I run into a clearance rack of Adidas or Nike at Costco and I will pick up something. And now that I have signed up for some races, I am getting some nice shirts as part of the entry package. Not the cheapest route per se, but signing up for events is nice motivation and getting some goodies out of it makes the $40-50 entry much more bearable.
