Recently shopped for some new workout clothes, and thought of sharing with you'll. My body has changed postpartum, from a size zero to a size 4., from a size XXS to a size M. And with Covid, and all the covid pounds I had gained, I needed some new workout clothes. I had looked at a few styles, and a few brands, and had a few ideas on what kind of style I wanted to opt for.
I knew I wanted something high-rise and high support. I am petite and curry and sometimes that becomes a problem, in finding the right fit. I knew I had to try on a few different brands and their offerings in the categories, I was looking for. Last, but not the least, I was on a budget. I needed a few key pieces, so ruled out Lulu Lemons.
I headed to my local Dick's Sporting Goods, as they still have their trial rooms open. And I knew that it was important for me to try on a few pieces. The brands I tried on were Nike - Dry Fit, Calia by Carrie Underwood, Under Armour, and DSG. Fell in love with the tie-dye number from Calia. Loved the fit and fabric of the leggings. They were ankle length, which is always a good idea for us Petites. The second choice of leggings was the Under Armour ones, which had a tummy control panel, with medium support. I opted for one, in this blush pink color.
Where sports bras are concerned, I tried out two different styles - DSG Women's Adjustable High Support Sports Bra, and DSG Women's Long-Line perfect Performance Sports Bra. In terms of support and comfort, I opted for the first option.
Everything I picked out, seems to be very comfortable when I work out in them. If you wanted to take a look at the trial room diaries, head over to my Instagram stories.
