Body Language Sportswear - What Does Yours Say?

There's no doubt that what you wear to work out says something about you. Old, baggy, mismatched clothes can say a couple of things -- either, "I'm just here to work out, and I couldn't care less about how I look while doing it," or, "Please don't look at me, I'm really insecure." Both of these things are fine, but it is important to know what message you're sending.

Fun, sexy clothes, on the other hand, have a definite "Look at me, I'm proud of my body!" vibe, and if that's you, you'll love it in Body Language Sportswear. After all, lots of celebs are crazy about it, like Eva Longoria, Hilary Duff, Jaime Pressly and Vivica Fox (amongst others). With prices ranging from $40 for short tops to $80 to $90 for pants (and a unitard at $125), Body Language is far from inexpensive, but you're definitely not paying celebrity prices.

The line started when Anna Arias decided she wanted some sexy, low-cut and comfortable sportswear like she'd worn in her native Brazil. What began as a simple idea has grown into a wildly popular collection. The Body Language boutique in Sherman Oaks, Calif. is always filled with fitness- and fashion-minded women, and the sportswear has been worn on shows like "Desperate Housewives," "Law & Order," "ER," "Days of Our Lives" and more, not to mention all of the magazine mentions.

Each piece utilizes Supplex, which gives the fabric an incredible stretch. I tried out a couple of pieces, and while I feared it would be a tight squeeze, I was pleased at how soft and comfortable everything was. Yes, it was fitted, but in no way did it feel tight, at least, not in an uncomfortable way. These pieces are designed to be as tough as they are soft and stretchy, so no matter how many times you wear and wash them, they should continue to give you a great fit. I've only washed mine a couple of times, so I can't really comment on that just yet.

Feminine but functional, Body Language Sportswear definitely lets you feel like a woman whether you're hitting up a Zumba class or showing up the guys in the weight room. Granted, there's a definite sex appeal factor with the collection, and that might not be for everybody. But, if you're proud of what you've got and ready to show it off in style, you might just have found your new favorite sportswear.

Now, what does your current workout gear say about you?
