I have a secret love for excercise leggings. Which does not at all conflict with my loathing hate for the aforementioned slacks that wear like leggings.

Exercise leggings? I am picturing really shiny leggings. Is that right? Do you wear them as you jazzercise?

(Says the girl who exercises in pajama pants. Heh.)

Ha. Uh, no. They are not shiny! Hello - what do you take me for?!? A 15-year-old drill team member? I am waaaaaaay past the shiny hot pants and on to cotton! Cotton exercise pants!

They're sort of like yoga pants, but maybe a little tighter. They're actually the same pants I'm wearing here, though I realize you can't see much of them in that picture.

These are sort of like them, too.

Well, I think you're just being very practical. They're comfortable enough for lounging, and if you are struck with a sudden urge for exercise (what? I hear it happens), then you're all set. Practical.

Oh, I would call those "workout pants." I did not know they had a real name. They are very cute, and not shiny at all. I am relieved. Although, if you did wear shiny leggings, that would be cool too.

yes jes I think leggings denotes tightness though maybe not shininess (or do you keep the y and go with shinyness?). Hey watching tv burns calories, not a lot, but some, so it's kinda like you worked out.

Liz: I'm totally practical. Like, totally.

-R-: Thank you! Yes, they are cute. And I love Target.

Katie: I'd go with shinyness. Also, believe me, they're tight. I do not look like a model right now, and it's quite depressing.

I love my C9 clothes from Target...Champion even makes great socks!
Sadly, I spend most of the week wearing either pajamas or work out clothes...I think I only wear real clothes on Saturday and Sunday...maybe Friday night if I actually leave the house after the gym.
If you lived by me, I could get you wrapped into my workout schedule! As you know from your college days, it is quite addicting....you just have to get started!

I totally need to buy more workout pants. My current exercise pants make me feel fat. That would be a great motivator, but I refuse to put them on.

looks like I actually need a trip to Target. score!

This isn't leggings but...

Last night when I got home from work I sat down on my bed to pull my boots off. These are decade-old Laredo non-lace "cowboy" boots that I haven't worn in about a year. They needed quite a bit of breaking in. I was also wearing thick wool socks. All day long my boots fit tight like a glove, but not quite uncomfortable. Getting them off was quite the workout. I looked up into my dresser mirror as I was in the middle of pulling the first one off and saw my face, bright red, grimacing, cheeks full of air. After wiggling and wiggling for what seemed like ages, I finally slid the first one off... thank goodness. I was tempted to ask Hub-E to pull the second one off (would been easier) but did it myself. Sheesh, talk about a workout!

AAAHAH! I'm guilty of that, too.

heeee! :)

Then Olivia Newton-John pranced across the room singing "Let's get physical, physical .."

Ha! That's totally something I would do. I have no shame and yes, putting spandex things on can be a bit of a workout. There, I said it.

You two need your own reality show. Seriously. I'd watch it religiously. :)

I'm a 23 year old metrosexual male. I personally think leggings are a wonderful concept at that! I think females need to stop whining and feeling akward about men who want to wear leggings! "Gender is nothing more than a physical construct." It has nothing to do with what sex they are. Both men and women can and do actually percieve the world in similar ways. A man doesn't always like to wear heavy, thick and dark apparel. We too enjoy the luxuries of lfe like silk and nylon. Clearly a man that is well built and assertive like most men, but perhaps is better groomed and enjoys wearing leggings doesn't mean he is any less of a man. A man or woman is determined based on how kind, helpful and positive we are toward others, not what we eat, wear, sleep in, or how we act like outside of these pathetic gender roles created my society that something thought up as being the ONLY way. It simply doesn't work that way. Individuals are very complex living beings with mixed emotions, new developing feelings about ourselves and others, and our own need to be distinctive among others. In conclusion, open-mindedness and the ability to let change occur is not a punishment but a gift to express oneself and enjoy life on higher and newer levels. Judge not another and they won't judge you!

Now for all the men out there. Give it a try if you choose. Fear of rejection means you are dependent on what others think and want of you.
