Get Your Butt in Gear: Danskin Now at Walmart

FitSugar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 09:00:00 -0700

I've been reevaluating my budget these days and it's no surprise that my fitness and health habits can be pretty costly. In an effort to save cash but still be able to keep myself motivated I've been on the hunt for cute, and cheap, workout clothes. A friend of mine was telling me that she's gotten a few workout clothes from Walmart, so I did a little investigating. I am loving the Danskin Now knit boot-cut pants ($10) and women's piped scooped tank ($6). Both come in a cute variety of colors and at $16 for the set, you're definitely not blowing the budget, even if you get a few pairs.

We're all aware of how pricey workout gear can be, which can be frustrating if you're like me and love having a big selection of gear at home. Well, user hepsmom has tipped us off on a fabulous bargain at Wal-Mart.

Danskin, a household name in fitness apparel, has a line of affordable workout gear called Danskin Now, which makes very cute cropped pants (among other things) priced from $12.94-$14.93 -- For that price, you may as well add a pair to your collection. If there is not a Wal-Mart near you, then all the pants can be purchased at Walmart.com too. Thanks for the great tip hepsmom!

SheROX - Danskin's Women's Triathlon Series

She swims. She rides. She runs. She rocks! Danskin sponsors the longest running women's triathlon series in the US, and the races are fast approaching.

If you've always wanted to do a triathlon, these sprint distance triathlons are for you. Here's the lowdown on the distances: .8K (.5 mile) swim, 19K (12 mile) bike, 5K (3.1 mile) run. Not only are these races fun and friendly, but Danskin also has a mentoring program to help newbies from the start (as in the first day of training) to finish (when you cross the finish line). I must say, doing a triathlon is one of the most empowering experiences - physically, mentally, and emotionally. Plus they have many different waves. The elite pros start first, followed by the amateur elites, and then groups separated by age. There is also a wave for cancer survivors and a buddy wave, if you want to compete with a pal in a different age group.

The first race is May 9 in Arizona, which means you need to start training now. These races are very popular and some races are already sold out, so if you're interested in trying a tri you should sign up soon. To see the race dates, just read more.
