My husband is trying to talk me into running a half marathon relay with him... but I have a problem..

I was banded in June of these year and while I am doing well with my weightloss I carry my weight in my thighs.. I have tried jogging - but it almost "hurts" my thighs they jiggle so much.  Can anyone recommend any running/workout clothes that would help with this problem?

 

Thanks!!!

Maybe try some compression shorts. You should be able to find them at any sporting goods store. (I think I found mine in the basebal/softball section). $20-$30 I think.

I would try compression pants. 3/4 or full  length to help if its cold, but also to support your legs all the way down.... Good luck and congrats on your success and decision to get fit!

I third the compression shorts suggestion. I got some UnderArmour ones for about $25.

Also, there are creams you can put on to cut down on the chaffing.

I recommend UnderArmour gear as well for workouts... their shoes are also great! A little more pricey than other brands but well worth the price.

I rcently just discovered the UnderArmour Outlet at the mall here. They're sports bras are awesome for bigger chested girls and I got the compression shorts and tank tops, they work wonders for the jiggle.  It doesn't take it all away, but it does work wonders.
