Best workout pants?



Recommended Posts

I am hoping there might be someone out there that can help. I have trouble with workout pants that will stay up when I work out. I carry most of my weight in my stomach. Anyone with similar problem that has found a good brand of workout pants they can suggest?

I love the Avia brand leggings at Walmart. They have a horizontal waist band, and a drawstring. For me, I can pull them up over my belly and they stay up fine.

You might not be a fan of this financially but Lululemon or Athleta is my workout wardrobe. I also hold my weight in my stomach and my pants stay up through HIIT workouts. Athleta will actually be having 20% off everything starting Black Friday. Lululemon also has regular sales plus there’s resale Facebook groups.

If you are talking about yoga pants:

Joking aside, what type of workouts are you doing? After going through quite a few types of shorts and pants in the gym, I've found that the ones that give me the fullest range of motion and the most comfortable of all are the old fashion fruit of the loom jogging pants. They are not a fashion statement by any means, but they work the best for me. On shorts, avoid the wicking material. While they are stretchy to an extent, they bunch up in weird ways on squats.

I just bought a pair of some type of athletic style leggings from Old Navy that are very nice and stay up over my belly.

The ones I bought "shined", almost looked see through [emoji15] Ask a friend to check you out while wearing them. Or wear a looong t-shirt over them. I was SO EMBARRASSED! Id like to save you from that [emoji4]

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
