I've been lurking on this board for a couple of weeks as my "healthy alternative" to RL. I'm a walker, 3-5 miles/day pretty much every day. I'm trying to get fit before TTC and have been doing WW since February - so far lost about 33 lbs. One of the things I like about walking, besides the scenery, is that I can start right out my front door, bring DS, and I don't need any special equipment (except stroller and shoes).
This summer though I've been dragging around the neighborhood in the steamy haze in too-big cotton shorts and feeling miserable. So I included a pair of compression shorts with my last sports bra order. Wore them today and didn't want to stop walking after 4 miles. What a great invention! No bulk, no chafing, everything stays where you want it. I wouldn't wear them without a long tank top or t-shirt, but they are otherwise fabulous.
I wish I had known this sooner, so I had to pass it along! If you're a gym rat already I'm sure this is old news, but if you're like me and haven't paid attention to workout wear since those spandex running tights were all the rage in college, things have changed!
