Today we are talking about plus size clothes and activewear something we rarely talk about on this blog. The main reason is that the plus size community can be sensitive when it comes to plus size bloggers talking about their workout routines or anything fitness related.

 Let’s be real; fat girls work out too!

Blogging about body positivity does not mean we do not hit the gym. We love cute plus size activewear just like anybody else. Most people think that the gym is a punishment and………. they might be right. It is a punishment for the yummy cake you’ve eaten the day before. Alright, all jokes aside, I am not a big fan of the gym either but I know it’s something I have to do to feel good and release some of that extra energy. Exercising is not just for losing weight at least not for me. My body feels amazing after a good workout. I try to work out at least four times a week.

There is nothing worse than adjusting your workout pants (leggings) a million times when you’re jumping and running. A good plus size activewear should be both functional and comfortable. I personally love activewear that are breathable, fun and that can be worn beyond the gym. Your bottoms don’t have to be boring. If you love fun patterned leggings for working out Lane Bryant has some fun options. This Blue Peacock Leggings by lineagewear is also a favorite among yoga lovers.

Plus size workout leggings

1. I haven’t tried these Slim Fit Reversible Leggings, but they seem to be a customer favorite with 4.5 stars out of 5. They’re good for workout and everyday use.

2. I own two of these High-Rise Compression Plus-Size Cropped Pants from Old Navy. They are amazing and affordable too. Old Navy’s fit can be inconsistent at times, but these pants never failed me.

3. How cute is this Compression Active Legging set? The bottom goes up to size  US24 and it’s currently on sale.

Those who are part of the big breasts club, you know the pain you feel when you’re jumping. A bra that offers great support is a must. After doing a bit of research online, this Maximum Control Wire Free Sports bra by Enell seems to have a lot of great reviews. According to some, you can jump to the moon, but your girls won’t go anywhere. They have a huge compression, and the straps are sturdy.

                                    

 

Another Plus size sports bra that has a lot of people talking is this Underwire Sports Bra by Panache. Its features include

1. 1. 1. Padded straps, underwirc, and closure for increased comfort.
   1. 1. Wide, supportive band anchors bra to the body.
   1. Breathable center mesh insert.

This one is definitely an investment piece and you might need bra extenders.

 

Always remember to have your correct measurement before you invest in any kind of bra. You can get yourself fitted at no cost in most lingerie and/or department stores. This task can also be done at home by following these simple instructions.
