Exercise Support Wear?



Recommended Posts

So I just got off of the treadmill and I can't stand my flab jumping around when I'm trying to run (doing the C25K program), does anyone have any suggestions on supportive active wear to help with this? Like something really supportive that has wicking capabilities?

I dont know what wicking means but I wear Spanx and they are very comfortable and hold you in well

Well stay out of NIKIE and champion for now cuz they don't have anything for the plus sized womman.

I get my sweat on in a cotton bra no wires from the cassique collection from laynebryant but I make sure it is well fitted so the chest don't bounce to much when I do jog. I just usually ware an old t shirt and an old pair of cotton bermudas

That's a good question what do the plus sized gals do for workout ware if they want any?

Catherines makes great plus size exercise wear, Liz & Me. Also Glmourise sports bra! I still wear it and have had to by a smaller size every couple months now, but very comfortable and supportive without wire. You can watch their website and get them half off every month or so.

Thanks all! Cheryl, wicking is where the clothes help with "wicking" away sweat I guess it dissipates it faster or keeps it drier somehow, I get heat rashes really easy and this would help with that.

Look for any sort of compression wear from a sporting outlet. Works well for me.

Wicking is the action of moving the moisture away from your skin so you stay dry when you sweat. Spanx aren't good for that when exercising!

I went to fleet feet to get sized for bra and compression wear. Try a local fitness store. My bra makes me look nothing like a Nike ad but it works great!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
