Morrigainz Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 So, I usually wear running shorts to the gym because that's what I have. My thighs are already fat and rub together, so my shorts already ride up between them which is annoying enough. Recently I have noticed that they start riding up in the front too and being weird and uncomfortable. I can only attribute this to awesome muscle growth and shiznit. However, I would like shorts that do not do this. I don't REALLY like the idea of bball shorts, but is that the direction I have to go? Pants/capris are out because I get overheated easily and the gym is already hot Any ideas? Quote Level ?

Swthrtsuzy Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I'm a big girl, and I wear bike-style shorts - without the chamois of course. I have no shame, so I just wear them like that, but you could always wear them under the running shorts and it would definitely mitigate the tendency your shorts have to ride up. Also, they have some nice bball style shorts that are tailored more for women (ie: they're shorter than traditional).

Kim Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I have this problem and I've started stealing my husbands Under Armor shorts. They go down to my knees but at least they don't ride up. :\ Quote Challenge 1 Plank time: 1960 seconds Challenge 2 Rope Jump: 4200 Link to comment

T-Fred Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Check out the brand Champion Gear. They usually have a wide variety of length when it comes to shorts. In my experience, the material doesnt ride much either. Quote Link to comment
Loren Wade Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 spandex shorts under the regular shorts. Yep, I do the under armour of these also. Quote lobro's a druid? twitter | fb Link to comment
Corbab Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 spandex shorts under the regular shorts. I'm maybe the fourth person to quote this, but it's true. I literally can't work out anymore if I'm not wearing spandex.

cline Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I wear these http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=46806&vid=1&pid=819215I like a longer short when I'm bending over or laying on the floor at the gym, when I'm planking... LolSometimes I also wear under armor men's underwear spandex things under my shorts Quote I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance.

shiggles Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Ditto on the spandex or compression shorts as underwear.I would recommend under armour over other brands for your situation. They have a 'heat gear' range that you will probably find good for your situation. Quote "I lift heavy things. Sometimes these things are people." Link to comment
Morrigainz Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Hmmm...spandex...I have to admit, I have concerns about spandex. I do have an Under Armour outlet store near me; I'll go this weekend and check out a couple of different types. I just don't want to look like this lady...[ATTACH=CONFIG]2247[/ATTACH] Quote Level ?

KAllen Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 If you live in the best part of the US...also known as the South...Academy Sports has a brand called BCG. Same stuff as UA but at least 1/2 the price. That's what I use. Long shorts, spandex shorts, moisture wicking shirts(compression for under my vest, loose for workout). All for way cheaper than UA or Nike!!!

BadWolf Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I had a pair of shorts from the bike shop that had spandex shorts connected to a baggier pair, like men's swim trunks, but with spandex shorts inside instead of netting. Quote Current 6 Week Challenge Link to comment
