For far too long curvy girls have opted for baggy t-shirts (sometimes borrowed from your dad’s closet) and ill-fitting tights to workout, and that’s just unacceptable. Not only do you need figure hugging active wear to support your posture, but also you deserve to look fabulous while doing so. Gone are the days when plus size women felt the need to hide while working out.
So, we’ve gathered some intel about what you need in your activewear.
First, the fabric should be extra breathable. Cottons and other moisture absorbing fabrics tend to weigh you down, so choose performance fabrics like lycra or polyester. Second, ditch those loose-fitting tees. They might get caught in fitness equipment and can make your movements restricted as well. And finally, embrace the feeling of fitted, figure hugging clothes that lend you the confidence to perform better!
Here’s a list of activewear essentials, you must, must buy. You can thank us later.
