More workout pants complaints

[pjlippert]

Oh my gosh. I went to Sports Authority to get some suitable workout pants. Not only were they all very long, but what is with the super low waist?? I prefer my workout pants to actually stay ON my body when jumping about- not constantly pulling them up as part of my workout. Grrrr. Somebody in the athletic clothing world needs to come up with a good line of workout pants.

Hmph. Off my short little soap-box!

i think the low rise workout pants are the thing now.....when u look at workouts now, that's what u see a lot of now....i actually don't too much mind those if they fit tight enough around my waist or have a draw string to tie them tight....but i prefer them to be higher and if i want or need to roll them down then i can....and i can also concur with u about the length b/c i'm only 5'2.5.....but i know a lot of the taller people are loving it

I find most work out pants to be too long for my short stature of 5'3" as well tho I DO have one pair that are like floods on me! Go figure! Anyway, I've been working out primarily in shorts for a while now since I really only work out at home these days. It's more comfortable, cooler and I don't have to worry about their length.

As for the low waist, I much prefer the low waist on ALL of my pants weather they street clothes or work out clothes but as the previous poster stated, I can always roll down the waist on my work out pants/shorts if they are too high and trust me, I DO! It's much easier for me to do that then if you have to keep hiking them up I am sure!

I also hate the low-rise waist on workout pants! I solved the length issue by just getting capris.

@jane, that's what i ususally do, just buy capris and that eliminates the too long problem

Hi! I've actually been dissapointed the last few years in workout clothes. It seems they are made more for show then working out! A few years ago, Nike had some great tops (Cathe used a few in her workouts) and some good pants, but you go on their site now and it's all this one shoulder stuff, and nothing that looks like you really wouldn't mind getting sweaty in.

I have found that Target has a nice collection called C9 by Champion. I've been buying from there for a few years now.

I buy most of my work out clothes from Target, Kohls and occassionally TJ Maxx or Marshalls....The other stuff is just too rich for my blood!

I found work out tube tops in store once. I was amazed that anyone would actually work out in them! I bought 2 and wear them as street clothes in the warm weather!

I use capris so it avoids the long pants. But I'm another one that like low-rise. I got a nice, round butt that holds the pants up for me

Jeans, workout clothes, jammie pants, all are low rise. I don't like anything higher; it feels like Mom Jeans or Mom Pants. Not a good look.

I'm also one that like the "Showy" workout clothes. They had better look nice since I pay a pretty $$-$$$ for them! They make me feel good and they look good. I don'[t care if I'm sweaty I still want to look cute. I won't get the traditional gym clothes, sweat pants and t shirts anymore. I'm not in gym class anymore. I have fun when I do my workouts and the cute, fashionable clothing is just an added touch.
