We Tried It!

WE TRIED IT: A New Crop

 
I’m always on the search for fab yoga pants. Even if ya don’t practice yoga, they’re great for workouts at the gym or just walking around the ‘hood. My perfect pair would be cropped (because I’m super-short and I hate stepping on hems), slightly flared or wide-leg and cute enough to wear in public.

The first pair I checked out was American Apparel’s Fine Jersey Capri Pant. They were def comfy and way easy to move around in. Key when you’re tryin’ to get tangled up in tricky poses! The down (dog) side? Cotton doesn’t wick, so if you’re sweating a lot…it kinda just sticks to ya. But if you’re sticking to low-key postures (like tree, downward dog…or chillin’ on the couch) you’ll be set as they’re a sweet alternative to sweats.
 
 
Fine Jersey Capri Pant, $26, americanapparel.net; Loop Terry Foldover Crop with Jersey Waistband, $35, solowstyle.com
 
Next, I stretched out in So Low’s Loop Terry Foldover Crops, in bold ‘n’ bright fuschia. Normally, terry cloth isn’t my fave. It reminds me of those matchy-matchy track suits. Ick! But these pants were made flex with ya. They were extra stretchy (unlike, um, me!) and the thick waistband meant they didn’t ride up or fall down. These puppies are on sale right now, which is key—their original price tag is definitely outta my reach.

Om, is it just me, or do new athletic threads give YOU extra motivation to get moving?

MOD please please help!! im so confused! I do 2 dance classes each week (both on 2 diff days) and then i have PE 3 times a day. And I walk with my neighboor with her dog once of wice a week. But im still over weight! I do eat fruits and veggies and my mom packs me either organic crackers or baked chips in my lunch. I have all the foods im suppose to eat. Meats, Chicken, veggies, fruits, dairy. I dont get it! Do i need to do more excersise? Should I try to eat JUST fruits and veggies? Please please help!!! thank you!!

 

Hey babes, you need to do cardio, i know dance is difficult but you really need to get your heart really pumping. Also remember that even if your eating good food, if you are eating huge portions of it its not going to have any affect.xo JANA

Mod, my profile always takes a long time to finish modding. I just updated it a few minutes ago, but why does it take so long?

 

Hey babes, every time you update it adds to the line of ones waiting to be moderated. There are 3000 waiting to be read over,be patient. xo JANA

I bought yoga pants before, not for yoga but they looked decent enough to wear in everyday life. They are cute and super comfy. Smile

MunkQoo on 9/19/2008 11:28:52 PM

I saw the most ah-dorable yoga pants online the other day... shoot! I can't remember what brand. Smile Well anyway they where sort of long and they had a foldover waistband with a pink white and brown stripe. The legs where brown. It's cuter than I described.

<3 you all, Nadia

mod, Can I wear these pants while running and stuff? Like riding my bike too? I need some good workout pants.




Hey girl!

Yes you can wear pants when you workout and stuff. Target has a great selection of workout gear.
