Your Turn: Ladies, would you work out in a skirt?
I have a closet full of fitness gear, but I don't waver much from my favrouite core pieces: A pair of lululemon capris or full-length pants (depending on the weather), a form-fitting sports bra, a comfy-but-not-baggy tank and some cushioning sports socks. What I wear to the gym certainly isn't cutting-edge fashion, but it's always comfortable and practical.
So it always kind of surprises me when I see fitness outfits with skirts. A few people at my gym wear them, and I see them all the time in fitness magazines. Personally, I would never wear a skirt to work out, unless I was playing tennis (and even then, I would be afraid of giving the whole world a show when I bent over to pick up my ball ... ) Don't get me wrong -- I think running skirts are cute, but I feel more comfortable in pants. Especially running -- I'd be worried about chafed thighs in a skirt.

According to this article on Trendhunter 73% of women don't wear a sports bra when exercising -- is that right??? Ouch ladies! Maybe we'd all be a little more inclined to support ourselves adequately if we could find customized support tailored to our individual needs. Shockabsorber does just that, by having women take a quiz to narrow their activity level and cup size down to a specific recommendation of a sports bra with the right support and fit in all the right places. Sounds awesome, although I will say it looks like some of their styles are downright functional (read: ugly!) to look at.Champion's having an online sale
Better get on it though, as the sale is only on for a limited time.
Thanks for the tip, Fit Sugar!
