reward for promoting them. These are just my opinions based on companies I like
to promote because they make me happy.
So I work out a lot. Or, at least more than the average American. I’ve
learned over the past few years of upping my workout game that proper gear is
extremely important, particularly with my physique. Compression leggings and
sports bras with proper support make the difference between feeling good while
jumping up and down and feeling as though parts of my body are moving in
totally different directions in a distinctly uncomfortable fashion. “Sweat wicking”
fabric is a MUST. I used to do cardio in ordinary cotton shirts. As I sweat,
these shirts would become wetter, bigger, and heavier, until I was working out
in a shirt that felt as though I’d jumped into a pool wearing it. Not comfy. I
don’t know what the technology is that keeps certain fabrics dry despite
copious amounts of sweating, but I’m grateful to whoever invented it.
Under Armor makes really great (and great looking) stuff both for
staying warm in the cold and staying comfortable during a workout. I have a long
sleeved thermal shirt from them and it’s made from a snuggly, remarkably thin
material considering its purpose and how well it keeps me warm.
Their stuff doesn’t come cheap, but it does go on sale. I got the
entire outfit pictured below for about $38.00 – which is not bad at all for
quality workout gear.
Best of all? Size XS through size 2XL cost the exact same price. They
have no fat fees!
So cheers to Under Armor, both for making quality workout and cold
weather gear that fits a wide range of sizes and for treating me exactly the
same as my slimmer athletic counterparts – you give me what I want, so I give
you my thanks!
