Q&A - Where to Find Stylish Workout Gear
In the past six months, I’ve renewed my commitment to fitness, become a boot camp junkie, and just ran my first half marathon. I'd appreciate all good leads on cute fitness gear now that I’m no longer sporting the “large t-shirt” look! Got any leads on great capri running tights? My boot camp friends and I love the Nike accelerator capris but the ideal model has vanished. I'm also looking for non-geeky way to wear a cell phone to locate my husband and child after the finish line.

Congratulations on completing your first half marathon, and may there be many more to come. The best fitness gear will do three things: (1) keep you comfortable, (2) keep you dry, and (3) make you feel good about yourself. Here’s a few choice items to get you ready for your next marathon:
As for your capri running tights, we recommend these Nike capris with integrated iPod nano technology. A convenient pocket on the right hip (with cord management holes) keeps your iPod safe and dry.
If you’re looking for more coverage, you can still keep perspiration under control with this ventilated mesh-back design featuring ClimaCool® comfort. Women’s Response Shell | $40 at Adidas
We also found a stylish solution to your cell phone dilemma. The Hold-a-Phone, available in a variety of colors, safely straps your phone to your wrist. Plus, it allows you to also carry a key, a credit card, your money, or your ID.
