What's a Good Workout Without the Good Apparel.
To me, having good work out clothes is imperative. I cannot have a good workout if I have pants/ leggings that keep sagging down, that ride up to high, or just don't fit right. If I know I am going to be running, I don't wear shorts because I know they run up. If I am doing a shoulder or back workout, maybe I want to wear a tank top so I can see the muscle isolation. If I am going to be bending over I want to make sure my shirt isn't too baggy so that a lot gets revealed. But no matter what, my leggings need to fit well and feel good so that I am not constantly adjusting myself and messing up the flow of my workout (especially cardio and Core de Force workouts). When getting ready for the gym I don't just think, hey does this outfit look good, I mainly say, is this outfit functional.
So to the main point of this blog--> I just wanted to talk about two knew crop leggings I got that feel great on and look great too. The first one I actually bought from Sam's Club. They were only $7 but were originally almost $80. I got them for the price but once I put them on and worked out in them, I was in LOVE. I literally did not adjust them once. They are the softest material too. I love the color purple they are, and fun fact: They're reversible. I am so thrilled with this new pair. I went back today to try and get them in other colors but they were all out of my size. The brand that they are is called Active Life. I am a little frugal so I am not sure if I would ever spend the $80 on them, but they are so totally worth it. I would wear them every time I went to the gym if my dryer wasn't broken and I could actually wash clothes more.
The second brand I want to talk to you about is Fabletics. I have been debating honestly for 1+year now on whether I want to join or not. I saw a commercial for a $10 first out fit, so I decided to go for it. I also have always wanted a pair of leggings with mesh segments. Lucky for me, Fabletics had one in their $10 outfit offer. The shipping took a little while (which is probably only because I am in Alaska) but once I got them I was happy. I got them today and wore them to the gym tonight. I want to start off with the fact that I LOVE the length. Sometimes the crop leggings are too short and ride up above my calf and are very uncomfortable. These sit perfectly under the calf bulge and above the ankle. I also barley had to adjust the waist. When you are doing MMA kicks, some adjusting is to be expected.
I wanted to share my experiences with you guys and hopefully help make some good decisions on some different brands to try.
PS I have a pair from victoria secret that I really enjoy for their waist tightness and crop length as well.
