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.

Add 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!

In an effort to start my swimsuit shopping, I have been looking at the options I have online first – at least that way I can narrow down what I like and don’t like. The stores with the best selections of nice swimwear available in larger sizes like 1x, 2x, 3x and 18, 20 and 22 are: Swimsuitsforall.com, Alwaysforme.com, ModCloth which has great retro styles, and Silhouettes.com.

Some of the styles that are popular this year include:

Nancy Lopez Plus Collection from Lori's Golf Shoppe

Buying athletic clothes can be a real challenge when you have curves! And buying cute golf clothes in sizes XL, 2xL, or even 3XL can be even harder – especially since I think so many of the golf wear companies have completely forgotten about the recreational golfer who wants to be comfortable and look good on the green. I had been keeping a folder of websites that carry plus size ladies golf apparel and then my computer crashed and I lost the list. I have been recreating it and before I lose it again, I am putting it here in one place for you and me to refer to any time we need something fun and new to wear on the course!

Golf Sophisticate carries a large selection of plus size ladies golf shirts, golf shorts, skorts and outwear in sizes 18W, 20W, 22W and XXL and XXXL. Brands include Bette & Court, EP Pro and more.

Lori’s Golf Shoppe carries women’s plus size golf clothes by Nancy Lopez, Nike, Bette & Court, and more. Of all the shops, Lori’s seems to be most suited for the recreational golfer with a large range of styles and sizes (up to 22W and 3XL).

LPGA Pro Shop – not everything in the LPGA Pro Shop is available in extended sizes, but a lot of the tops are available in XL and some are available in XXL like the Dri-Mesh LPGA Polo.

Pinks and Greens has a very stylish selection of women’s plus size golf gear from Sport Haley and EP Pro and they have sizes 18W, 20W and 22W as well as 1X, 2X, 3X and even a few items in 4X.

Junonia.com sells activewear for women sizes 14 and up. Many of their tops are made with wicking material and are perfect for the golf course. They also have a good selection of plus size shorts and skorts that will fit just right!

Zappos and 6pm- One of the things I love so much about Zappos is their free shipping both ways, but the other thing I like so much is that they carry Liz Golf in plus sizes. The selection varies by the week, but it is definitely worth checking out regularly.

Do you have any favorite stores to buy plus size womens golf gear to add to this list? I’d love to know – just leave me a comment!

Spring workouts call for two things – flexibility and layers! You need clothing that can serve more than one purpose and clothing that is light enough to layer. My favorite spring workout essentials available in plus sizes this year are:
