Let's Talk: Plus Size Activewear

Let's Talk

I don't know about you, but I'm not on any diet, wishing I were the picture of Socially Acceptable. I don't want a minimizer bra or trousers with a built-in girdle or a 'trapeze' dress that would make a better car cover. I am on the lookout for clothes that make me feel good right now, at what I weigh now. Comfortable? Yes. Well-made? Yup. Fashionable? That would be nice, thanks.

Hey, I sound like any woman looking for a wardrobe. I'm a woman with particular tastes and standards, likes and dislikes, and I look good in red. Sound like a good place to start?

For years it has been difficult, if not impossible, to find activewear and exercise gear for plus size. Anything beyond the dreaded plus size gym shorts and regulation shirts we had to wear in junior high school, that is - and I remember how badly I dreaded suiting up in that outfit. Thankfully, it's been a lot of years since those gym classes, and in the meantime, plus size activewear designers have caught up with our needs.

Look for breathable materials that will stand up to the stress and repeated washings that plus size activewear requires. Look for designs that will support without restraining, fabrics that will stretch without deforming.

In a survey conducted by Psychology Today, fifty-six percent of women say they are dissatisfied with their overall appearance. Their self-disparagement is specifically directed toward their abdomens (71 percent), body weight (66 percent), hips (60 percent), and muscle tone (58 percent).
