Work It Out

I am an active fat girl.  I used to run a lot, but since injuring my back I am sticking to less intense exercises.  I have a Wii Fit (old school, I know) and I'm really into doing yoga/strength training.  I do cardio as well when I feel like it.

Anyway, if you're going to work out you need some duds to work it out in.  This is a workout outfit post!

I personally like capris as opposed to shorts or pants.  Shorts lead to chub rub (especially with cardio) and pants are always too hot for me!  I like my bottoms to be tight and breathable (insert queer pun here).

I got these capris at Lane Bryant for way on sale.  But you can find good work out bottoms other places as well.  You could even use leggings if you wanted a more cost effective option.

My shirt is actually a Michael Sam jersey.  No, this is not because I care about football or the Rams.  It's because Michael Sam is the first openly gay NFL player, and I wanted to support him by buying a jersey.  Plus it's soft and super nice to sweat in.

To be honest, most of the time during work outs I end up taking my shirt off anyway.  That's where a cute sports bra/top thing comes in handy!

Technically this top is from the straight sizes (I'm wearing a large) at Forever 21.  But I worked some fat girl magic and it's a perfect top for work outs!  Plus it's Keith Harring.  

Overall it doesn't really matter what you wear when you work out.  Just wear something comfortable and that works for you.
