Plus Size workout Pants: Getting out and moving for me since I have some “fun” healthy issues. High Blood Pressure and type 2 becomes really important for my health. If I drop a few pounds in the process, I would not say hey give them back but my ultimate goal is to be active. Being a blogger and full time sewer is not the most active job, I tend to sit alot.
So this past week while at a blogging event The Mom Mixer I was talking to the 3 day Breast Cancer Walk people. I have done the 3 day in the past. I was not much smaller then I am now. So I know I can do it, I have an issue with my foot right now but if I (psoriasis on it) if I can get it in to remission, then I will be a go to walk, I am kinda excited to train and walk again.
Which got me thinking about active clothes. 10 years a go when I did the 3 day walk. I had a team of people who could make me custom drifit clothes, literally. I was head of development for an sporting apparel company who made clothes for Nike, Reebok, Adidas. So all my clothes were custom plus size active wear, let me tell you they were amazing. I know spoiled.. yes.. yes I was.
This time I don’t have a staff to fill my every whim.. So I have to do some research to find some active pants, that fit my bigger booty, cover my gut, and reduce thigh rub. I found a few options and I wanted to share them with you.
For the Taller Gal like me I am over 5’10’ these TekGear fit and flare Plus size pants from Khols – only on line The reviews say they run large and are long $40:
These Lane Bryant Plus Size Active legging Heather charcoal $29 Comes in many other colors like Hot pink, blues
For the Capri Loving these Tek Gear Core Essentials Shapewear Colorblock Performance Capris – Women’s Plus : $54 Comes in many contrasting colors with black
These are loose and not so snug they come in 3 different colors Lane Bryant Plus Size Burnout jogger capri
I like this Capri option from Lane Bryant because it is not tight at the bottom so it does not cause marks on larger calfs.

Interior waistband pocket is the perfect size for your MP3 player, phone or other gym essentials
So I am deciding over the next few weeks or so, if I will do the 3 day. I know I will be walking more regardless since the weather is better. Have a great Day!
I particularly love the active wear pants from Land’s End. They are really well made, haven’t faded ever, and wash really well. They are super comfortable too. Great post!
