Exercising in comfort with Wilson

When I was younger, it took no special attention to stay fit and in shape. I didn't watch calories or count carbs. I made no particular effort to exercise any more than running around with my friends. We skateboarded. We took long walks together. We played ball and climbed trees. There was no way to be plugged into anything so my friends and I simply played outside when we were together.


Times have changed a little in the past 30 years and I spend much more time connected and plugged in than I did when I was younger. That means I'm not outside running around as much any more. When I am running around, I am generally connected to the Wii in some way shape or form whether it's Zumba or Wii Fit. Exercising inside is just easier for me now. I don't need to be concerned about the weather or who is doing what, where. One thing I do need to be concerned about now is comfort.

When I exercise, I wear clothes made for exercising. I want to be comfortable when I'm huffing and puffing and sweating to the oldies. No, I don't mean a pair of baggy warm up pants and my husband's 3x too large t-shirt. They don't offer any kind of support at all and honestly, they look awful on me. Since they don't fit correctly, they can chafe and tug and be irritating.

I recently received the Wilson La Divine Tennis Capri Pants to try out while I exercise. Wilson Tennis Apparel isn't just for wearing while you're playing tennis. It works just as well for any exercise or even for doing housework our lounging around in.  It has a compression fit for light support and the fabric is moisture wicking which means it's breathable and helps keep you cool and dry while you exercise.

I also like that the pants come in capri style.  In the warmer months, I tend to wear capris instead of long pants to exercise in.  They're cooler but still offer modesty and comfort which is important to me.  I also like that they're available in black which is very slimming and one of my favorite exercise colors. They're not totally black though. They have a little burst of bright blue color at the bottom of each leg band. They're really comfortable to exercise in because they're made of 92% poly and 8% spandex for a snug but comfy fit. If you're going to exercise, you might as well be comfortable while you're doing it!
