New gym wear ...

So recently I've been doing a lot of training in the gym for my up coming Race For Life, as such I have been investing in new gym gear. (see previous posts)

When I'm in the gym I like to wear legging fit bottoms as they stay out of the way and dont bunch up etc. I had been wearing some really old school black capri length ones from years ago and this first pair of Karrimor capri running leggings. Then I bought a pair of cheap Primark black capri leggings to rotate in as well, see we tend to go to the gym a few times a week so its hard to keep on top of the washing without it looking like we live in a laundry.

Anyway I forgot to post these Karrimor ones when I got them so I decided to post them now since I have bought some more hehe. I bought the newest ones the other day as my plain black ones have a zip at the knee which can dig in on some of the machines and they are ancient. Also the grey and blue ones are a bit thicker round the thighs so can get a bit warm in the gym with the warm weather we have been having recently.

These grey ones have a lining from the seam at the knee up and vents at the gusset. They also have a zip pocket at the back and gel stuff round the leg holes to stop them riding up. However this stuff makes pulling them on od so I tend to roll the end back when I pull them up hehe they are really nice and comfortable but can be a bit warm in the gym. Got them in the running section of Sports Direct and at £10 much better value then any of the Nike Dry Fit normal gym leggings. 

Next up are my newest ones I picked these up the other day again from the running section they were under  £10 too. They are a thinner material and dont have the lining or vent but do still have the pocket at the back. They are really comfy and look quite nice on. They also had these in all black and in general Sports Direct have a great selection of running leggings and capris which would work for normal gym wear if you dont fancy forking out the Nike and Adidas prices. Even in Sports Direct with 30-40% off they were about £30, which I find a bit steep for gym leggings. 

If you have read my previous post you will know that I get all my gym gear from Sports Direct, its quality brands but at up to half the price. I think both of these were 70-80% marked down. I like being able to have a nice selection of stuff to mix and match without having to worry its going to break the bank. For us that is really good as we are trying to save up.

On my most recent visit, which was after the gym as its 2 minutes away, I also had a look for another sports bra. I've currently got 1 black Lonsdale bra shape one, a LA gear pink crop to style and a purple camo cropped style. So I decided to have a look see if they had any more as the LA gear ones are only £6, unfortunately they didn't have my size in a colour I wanted. So when I was over at the tills I had a look at the Lonsdale ones, they are done by bra size and seem like a mix between the cropped and bra styles. Anyway I couldn't see my size in any colours all they seemed to have were really big sizes. On a hunch I got one of them with my back size out to look at, it looked ok even if it was the wrong cup so I bought it to try on at home, £6.99. Again these are much better prices then the Nike ones which are 15-20 with money off, which is a shame as some of them are really nice.

Anyway when I got home I tried on my new top waiting to see how big it would be and would you believe it ... it fits!! now this had me in fits of giggles as you can see it is advertised as a 32D now there is no way in hell I am even close to a D cup so unless this has a lot of stretch and is supposed to be a really tight fit I dont wana see the D cup girl try it on. I took great pleasure in announcing to the fiancé that I am in fact a D cup!! and brandishing my chest at him.

I love the colour and fit of this the back has a bra clasp at the bottom of the racing back.

My new 32D sports bra lol
