Foot Locker Men’s Basic Tee

Buy New: $9.99

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Foot Locker Men’s Basic Tee Shirt November 6, 2007

These T’s are fairly heavyweight and nice and soft. They are also “tagless”, so you won’t have the tag bothering your neck. I like them a lot.

4 out of 5 stars Comfortable and superior! November 1, 2007

Just received my order yesterday and I’m wearing one of them now.

I’d have trouble paying full price for such a t-shirt. However, I do consider them to be superior to most solid color t-shirts. They are very comfortable with a great breathable feel to them.

Womens Workout Clothing is More than Fashion

Filed under: Fitness Equipment, Plus Size, Workout Clothing — admin @ 1:46 pm

When it’s time for your daily workout it’s so easy to toss on whatever casual clothing is lying around and get to it. For very light workouts that may be OK but if you will be going at it hard or if you exercise outdoors, especially in warm climates, then your workout clothing can make a big difference in the effectiveness of your workout. Bad choices may make you so uncomfortable that you cut your workout short or find a way to avoid it altogether.

Cotton is the best choice for shirts and pants but only if you do not look into the newer, hi tech fabrics specially made for physical activity. Cotton is light weight and will wick moisture away from your skin until your cotton exercise clothes reach their saturation point. From that point on cotton stops cooling your body and becomes so much uncomfortable extra weight.


Champion Women’s Double Dry Cotton Blend Sports Bra

Buy New: $15.90 - $21.99 (On sale from $22.99)

Features:
• Made of 44% Cotton, 44% Polyester, 12% Lycra Spandex
• Racerback style with logo elastic inside band
• Braid elastic on neck and armholes
• Tag free
• Imported


Today’s women’s workout clothing is made from breathable microfibers that wick moisture away from the body, and more importantly, allow the moisture to evaporate from the surface of the clothing. This is the body cooling advantage that modern women’s workout clothes have over cotton which is too absorbent to encourage the necessary evaporation.

One other advantage of special workout clothes is that exercise tees, shorts, and pants are designed to accommodate the full range of motion of the body. For obvious reasons womens workout clothes are made differently than men’s workout clothes, and plus size exercise clothes are different still. Often it is not just the design but also the stitching pattern and placement that make an exercise tee feel so much more comfortable.

You sweat when you run or workout outdoors in the winter too. Cold weather workout clothing provides thermal protection in addition to the moisture management benefits of its warm weather counterparts. Quite an accomplishment and a feature not found in everyday sports clothing or cheap workout clothes especially in plus size exercise clothes.

Women’s yoga pants and legging tights are commonly made from a cotton/lycra blend with a wide, stretchable waistband. Specialized moisture wicking microfibers are not as common in yoga workout clothes and not as necessary in yoga pants as with tees and tops. You can find yoga workout clothes and pants with microfiber if you look online. Be sure to read product descriptions and customer reviews because size can run large or small with different brands. If you are hard fitting look for exercise pants that are preshrunk and that will not unravel when cut short.

Workout clothes for women are not complete without a sports bra. Women with a larger bust size can now exercise in comfort thanks to front-fastening sports bra designs. Look for cotton combo fabric that holds moisture away from the body and finished seams to prevent discomfort from rubbing. Top of the line sports bras use braid elastic on necks and armholes and come tag free.

Crew socks and quarter socks dominate the sports socks market with the crew socks more popular with the running crowd and the more fashionable workout apparel quarter socks for the gym crowd. Look for cushioning and moisture control in whichever order best fits your exercise routine. Do not ignore socks as perhaps the most important piece of workout clothing. Sore or irritated feet turn any workout into a nightmare and blisters make exercise impossible.

Wearing the right fitness clothes shows that you are a serious player, not to mention the comfort payoff from the right workout apparel.

Adidas Triple-Stripe Dual Shorts

Filed under: Plus Size, Track & Field Equipment, Workout Clothing — admin @ 1:50 pm

Adidas Shorts

These shorts are the most comfortable Adidas shorts I have ever worn! They do not ride up or bunch up around the crotch. I believe because instead of a brief liner the short is more like wearing soft and comfy bicycle shorts under your outer shorts. I would highly recommend these shorts to anyone… and on top of that they have a nice feminine look!

Availabile in Large and Extra Large sizes
