That shirt looked good whether I was running to the store or playing 18 holes on a hot, humid day! It certainly has made me a fan of the Nike Dri-Fit line!

While doing some online shopping this morning, I found THE PERFECT fall fitness outfit from Nike! They now have their Dri-Fit pant in women’s plus sizes in both a full length pant and a capri. The Nike Be Strong Dri-FIT pants are constructed with sweat-wicking Dri-FIT fabric to help keep you cool and dry as you exercise, have flat seams and gusset reduce chafing and promote freedom of motion, include a security pocket for your key or change, and have a relaxed leg fit. They also come in sizes 1X, 2x, and 3x.

Nike Element Half-Zip Top - Women's Plus SizesAdd the Element half zip top in hot pink and their is no chilly morning you can’t face! The Nike Element Half-Zip Top – Women’s Plus Sizes is also made with lightweight Dri-FIT® fabric helps keep you comfortable by moving sweat off your skin for rapid evaporation, has a half-length zipper which  allows on-demand ventilation; windflap wraps the top of the zipper to protect chin from abrasion, and mesh insets under arms vent excess body heat.

The top also comes in sizes 1X, 2X, and 3x as well as two colors  – black and Voltage Cherry.

Happy Fall Workouts!

For the past two years I have lived in my Crocs flip flops – they are super comfy and are perfect for pool side. Today while shopping I fell in love with a new pair of summer thongs – Skechers Tone Ups! Oh, are these shoes com-fort-able!!

The two relatively new lines of shoes called Shape Ups and Tone Ups from Skechers are constructed to work with your natural gait to tone and strengthen muscles in back, buttocks, and legs, improve your posture, and they even claim the shoes help burn extra calories.

I think these run slightly large – for example I normally wear a 9.5 but the size 9 Tone Ups fit perfectly. And, I am sure I will be ordering at least one more pair of the Tone Ups before summer really gets started.

Below are the styles of Tone Ups that are currently available – click on image for ordering information. Which one is your favorite?
