workout wear

Where does everyone find the best deals on workout wear?
At 5'2" I have trouble finding work out pants that are the right length. I'd like to know what pants Cathe wears, since she also is petite in height.

Also, how about inexpensive Tennis clothes?

hi likes2bfit,
I'm a shorty, 5'4", but short legs. I usually end up

1)getting regular leggings, cotton/lycra, full length, but if they are too long I sometimes cut the bottoms of the legs off
2)getting capri length and knee length leggings. LOVE the knee length on me, but can't always find them, in which case I go for the capri length if I find that instead. Not the MOST flattering, but that is okay.
3) trial and error. many companies have different standards in length.

This is a great question, and I am glad you asked it, because I have yet to see a 'short' length in workout wear, and if there is a vendor with various lengths, I want to know about it, too! Sorry I'm not more help, but I hope someone chimes in with a good place to get this!

I go to this discount place called Marshall's, which is sort of like TJ Maxx. I have several pairs of Everlast capri workout pants which are my favorite.

I buy most of my workout wear at Walmart, or on sale from Carushka (www. carushka.com) or Hotskins (www. hotskins.com) (Hotskins is where Cathe gets her boot-cut pants). The regular prices for these last two is a bit steep for me, but their sales are great (though limited in size and colors available).

I buy my workout wear at TJ Maxx. I am 5'3" and like the Reebok and Marika bootcut bottoms. I simply hem them.

You may want to look at Victoria Secret. They sell alot of work out clothes in petite sizes, but are not cheap.

I saw some nice workout pants at Target- stylish but not pricey. I also go to Modell's sporting goods. Since I'm 5', I usually cut the bottoms off (you can't really tell) or get capris that fit me like normal pants (how pathetic is that??). Try to look for bootcut since that usually makes legs look longer.

honeybunch-

Marshalls.......... I didn't even know they were still around. I live in Az. It seems like every 3 miles there's a Target or a Walmart Supercenter. Does anyone still have a Gemco in their area?
