Probably a dumb question- within the last two months I’ve started going to the gym to try to lose some of the baby weight- finally. I used to work out in soffee shorts and a T-shirt, but it seems super uncomfortable- my legs chafe together the whole time, I get HOT in my T-shirt.
I don’t want to spend a ton on workout clothes until I know it’s a habit I can stick with, but was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for affordable workout clothes- links would be helpful. I do mainly treadmill and elliptical, with some strength training and yoga. For reference I am female, and typically wear a size small- medium. I am 5’5” and weight about 130. |
| Old Navy, Target, TJ Maxx & Marshall's have rather good activewear for the price point. A lightweight tank top and capris tights are a good start. Good luck! |
| Old Navy can’t be beat for the price. It holds up well too. |
It goes on sale pretty often —don’t pay full price. |
| For yoga try the 90reflex brand on amazon. Buttery soft pants!! |
| Costco. Seriously. |
| Get some running shorts for the summer and leggings for the winter. Good sports bras. And tank tops. |
This. Wait for a sale and stock up. I like the high-waisted leggings for working out - the cropped length is my go-to. I also have had good luck with TJ Maxx and Marhsall's. |
+++ These are my favorite and they start at $7: https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=381806102#pdp-page-content |
| I like Under Armour for shorts, shirts, and sports bras and can usually find a few options on sale on Dick's Sporting Good's website at any given time. |
|
I like a lot of the target C9 stuff.
lululemon is my favorite but I can't afford too much of that. |
|
Old Navy, for sure. Athleta is my splurge, but ON will get the job done for very little money.
Good luck, OP! |

Y’all are the best, thank you.
Another dumb question- I’ve seen those double layered shorts- one tight layer, one loose. Most are labeled as yoga shorts. Are these ok to run in? I don’t want people to laugh at me if I’m using yoga shorts as running shorts haha. |
| If you splurge on anything, have it be a sports bra from Title 9. |
I run in them! |
