Workout Clothes



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to share the following article I found on SparkPeople today; thought it might be helpful to others.

I have all my usual t-shirts and workout capris that I'm most comfortable in, but like to change up my tops from time to time.

One thing I learned about -- adjustable bras (and not just the shoulder straps) that will take you through weight/size changes.

The information is good, but they should have picked better images. They picked the most hideous, sloppy looking workout clothes they could find. I almost didn't read the article, because of the images.

Thanks for sharing.

I use many of their suggestions, not the specific ones, except the Moving Comfort Fiona bra, but similar ones. At this point I only buy on clearance as I am not sure how long things will fit! I have also added compression shorts and tank tops to keep the skin, rolls, apron, etc from bouncing TOO much. It all bounces, but it at least minimizes it some and I feel better with the compression. (It keeps the girls even more stabilized as well) I like compressionZ brand tank tops, but I have a bunch of other ones from Walmart and target as well. I have bought a lot of my stuff on Amazon or sierra trading post.

Good luck and Keep moving!

Thanks for the suggestions, Pam @mngreeneyes. I'll have to check out some of those. I love spandex type garments for the bottoms, and usually just wear my regular bra since I typically do circuit training, strength/weight training, and elliptical. I do buy most of my workout wear at Walmart, but will sometimes pick up t-shirts at other stores if I see something I like.

Like you said......Keep Moving!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
