While longer shorts are the fashion, and compression clothing is one of the latest things I prefer light weight, breathable clothes. For my shorts I like them to be short so they don't catch on my thighs during stretches, yoga, lunges etc. I also have a 'hot' body (alas not in the Brad Pitt style!) which means keeping me cool is important while I exercise.
A trip to the local Sports Authority and an hour of so of browsing resulted in 4 purchases.
Nike Dri-FIT 2" Split Men's Running Shorts
2 pairs of of these. They come in a 6 different colours so I have one black with grey and the other black with green. I wore them last night for Yoga X and they worked well.
For the tops I bought two different designs and I went for sleeveless as most of my existing workout shirts have short sleeves.
Nike Race Day Men's Running Shirt
The main appeal of this shirt was the sides and back are mesh which helps with cooling the body. I wore it for this mornings Sprint 8 and either I wasn't pushing myself as hard, or the shirt helped keep me from overheating! This shirt comes in either black or white I chose black (which includes some green inserts)
Nike Polygraphic Men's Running Shirt
A more traditional running shirt which includes a graphic print on the front to add some interest. Comes in 4 colours so I bought the grey.
I bet you spend more expense on clothing than your wife!
ReplyDeleteI can truthfully say that in the 4 years I have known my (now) wife that we have spent more on clothes for her than we have for me :-)
ReplyDeleteMy wife is very special and unusual in that she is not a shopaholic. I've encouraged her to have some nice dresses, shoes, boots and other clothes.
