So far I have found the Nike Extended line at Zappos and Tennis Express. The collection consists of basic tees, long pants, capris, long bra top, half zip top and tennis skorts. The Nike Extended size line comes in women’s sizes 1x, 2x and 3x.

It is nice to see more and more options for stylish plus size women’s athletic gear – especially coming from some of the most respected names in the business!

I have found that when taking my morning walk, I really need an extra layer of lightweight warmth to be comfortable. Long underwear is a great way to layer comfortably – but as you know, finding thermal underwear for anything larger than XL is a challenge. Cuddl Duds does sell their well known Coolmax Extreme line in sizes 1x and 2x.  They come in a variety of styles for the tops from sleeveless to long sleeve and bottoms, too.

Two women founded the company in 1977 after getting sick of trying to run in men”s shorts that were just uncomfortable. Thirty years later their line of athletic wear for women of all sizes covers running gear, fitness wear, yoga and lifestyle fashions as well as sports bras up to an E cup.

Below are some of the Moving Comfort workout wear pieces that are available in plus sizes (XL, 1x and 2x) – click on image for ordering information:

Something about those three-stripes that go from the gym to real life with the greatest of ease! Until recently it was near impossible to find plus size athletic apparel from Adidas. Now I have seen Adidas Plus Size clothing at Zappos (love them because they offer free shipping on purchases and returns), 6pm.com and Dick’s Sporting Goods. The plus size line consists of some jackets, short sleeve and long sleeve tops, shorts, capris in many styles, long pants and sports bras. Perfect for yoga class, walking, going to the gym and just about any activity really!

They have consistently had great quality, the latest styles and a comfortable fit. Did you know they also make plus size workout wear? I didn’t – until recently. Most of the items come in sizes 1x, 2x, 3x and 4x.

Mix and match or layer! These are perfect for everyday workouts, golf, tennis, walking, yoga and more. Click on images below for availability and ordering information.
