When you're working out at the gym, always wear clothes and shoes that are appropriate and comfortable. Now if you're bigger than a size XL, finding suitable gym attire can be a challenge. Although I'm a borderline XL (L/XL or XL/2XL depending on the style and cut), finding comfortable clothes wasn't easy at first.
When you start shopping for gym clothes (or general work out clothes), you'll begin to notice that these exercise specific types of clothes usually range from sizes XS to L (certain brands cater up to XL). I've checked out garments from the obvious makers -- Nike, Adidas, Fila, Puma, Schwarzenbach, Reebok and the likes -- as well as more casual brands and must admit that although I managed to grab a couple of workout pants that fit me, the tops were way too tight (even XL).
Then there's the price factor involved. Due to the technology put into the material for the garments, the prices aren't very wallet friendly if you're on a tight budget. For instance, a pair of long gym pants from Nike costs RM179.90 while tops range anywhere from RM80-RM169 (and more). So you've already spent cash on the gym membership (and for some engaging personal trainers as well), now you'll have to shell out more money for clothes?
