Work Out Anyone?

Can't speak for anyone beyond myself, but now that we have finally passed through winter (despite its attempts this week to haul us back), I've found it easier and actually felt motivated to up my workout schedule.

I needed some new gear.  And, again don't know about you, but I'm just too cheap to invest big bucks in garments to sweat in.  Most of my stuff, save my shoes (where I never skimp), comes from TJMax, Gap or Old Navy.  I try to shop the sales at the latter two.  

Picked up these pants and the jacket yesterday at Old Navy with a 35 percent discount.  (Thirty percent through today for non-cardholders.) Great bang for your buck.  Last year I scored the posted tee for $7 and it is one of my favorite shirts.  While I got two, I wish I had picked up six.  They, alas, are no longer available.

The pants have a mesh vent in the lower calf (not sure what it's for beyond looks) and run true to size.  Same for the fitted jacket which has those holes in the cuff to accommodate your thumbs (perhaps this is something that runners need?).  It, too, runs true-to-size and comes in a couple of colors. 

They offer a fitted, sleeved shirt of this 'wicking' fabric which I love, but which doesn't love me.  Cut too close for my frame, one size is too snug (every roll and crease emphazied) and the next too loose. 

If you've a need for some new active gear, I highly recommend checking Old Navy out.  I also do a fair amount of online purchasing there and find most of their reviews spot on. 

What are you doing to get active?

Outfit Details:  Jacket - Old Navy ; Tee - Old Navy - Old (new mesh tops are great colors but seem to run small); Pants - Old Navy (similar - these may be capris but mine hit more on my ankle as I have a 29 inch inseam).
