Curvy Active Wear: Why Does it Matter for Curvy Plus Size Athletes?
What’s up?! You are getting serious about your curvy fitness especially being a plus sized woman and are looking to get the right fitness apparel. This is an important part of your journey. Now I know most other places will tell you to just come as you are..but ummm not here. Okay!! I want you set up from the jump to win. What you wear makes a huge difference on not just your success, but your longevity. Let’s get into it.
First of all, the right curvy fitness apparel will improve your workout performance. For real tho!
Listen, I called myself back in the days trying to just put on a shirt and shorts to workout in. Chilleee let me tell you about the time I was doing frog hops and my shirt was going one way up and my pants were exposing my upper butt. Honey it was not cute! I was paranoid, embarassed and couldn’t focus well on the workout. Guess who never did that again?! Trust me I have more stories that I’ll share later.☺

When you have a curvy and plus sized body with booty you know that you have plenty of meat that needs to be contained so you can properly do the exercises. You can move easier and more effectively when wearing the appropriate fitness apparel. This will ultimately increase your endurance because you are not distracted by the discomfort of your clothing. It also makes you more apt to try new exercises to further challenge yourself.
Chilllee I know many women purchase high waisted leggings/shorts for abdomen coverage, but I do not. I get them for better butt coverage. When I’m doing squats and doing backwards bearcrawls, I put in 100% knowing nothing will show.
This brings me to my next point that the appropriate curvy fitness wear boosts your curvy confidence. Yes Girlll!! You know how we love looking good. You gotta remember that and wear fitness outfits that express your personality and make you feel good. Cause when you look good, you feel good and show out in your workouts! Yes I said it cause it’s true! You is cute! A confident woman will be more consistent in her workouts and see more results. The right clothes really do influence your confidence and vice versa.
The more confident I became in my curvy training and seeing results, the more I felt comfortable and confident wearing fitness apparel that met my needs. What do I mean by that? I wore loose fitting workout tops then fitted workout tops and now I even wear crop tops if it’s too hot out there. I feel sexy, strong, fit and confident to wear clothing that fits the weather and my fitness level!
Lastly, wearing curvy fitness apparel will increase your consistency and discipline. Think about it…when you lay out your uniform(now I know you may wear one but go back in time to your school days/band days/cheerleading, etc), you feel ready. It’s the same with your workout clothes. You become motivated to move your body. You also want to put them to the test. There’s a quote by Joyce Meyers that says, “Where the mind goes, the man follows.” Therefore a mind that is set on being a disciplined curvy athlete will move the body into becoming one.
Can you imagine the ease and joy you feel when you go in your dresser and pull out workout clothes that actually fit AND complement your curves?!!! Can you imagine how exciting it is to actually go through workouts not worried or self conscious of something popping out? Wearing the right workout clothes will do that for you. You can find them here, Ross, Walmart or any of your favorite online stores. Curvy Fit Chicks stay ready so they don’t have to get ready. So I encourage you to get your curvy active wear accentuates your Assets!
