Adams, Party of 6: Running Gear and Good Fitness Habits!

I used to laugh at people who exercised in compression/running pants.

Then I began running.

And I started chafing.

Or getting too cold.

Then too hot.

Then some more chafing. (REALLY. SO BOTHERSOME!)

And my legs would feel swollen.

And I understood!

Running tights help all of these problems, so I decided to get a pair of them, in the capri length.

Night and day, people!

This summer I wore them some, and shorts some. I overheat easily and quickly, so I wore shorts whenever possible.

Now it's cold again, even on my porch where the treadmill is. Since I had just the one pair of compression capris, (and since they are now kinda baggy! YAY!) I bought a pair of pants as well.

ASIDE: Thank you, Wal-Mart, for your workout clothing that does not require a second mortgage!

Yes, I am a little bit self-conscious in them, as it is impossible to hide any bulge or jiggle.

BUT, the more I work out, the less of a problem this will be! Right?!!

This wicking fabric top is my FAVE. I'm so glad I bought two of them, as they are PERFECT for exercising in cooler weather. I sweat a lot (read: like a man), so the wicking fabric is really helpful. Nothing worse than a soaking wet cotton T-shirt chafing your skin for an hour!
