Compression Garment?
One of my New Year's resolutions is to run a 5K, but I have an issue with saggy skin that flaps when I workout, is there any kind of garment that I would be able to get what would help?
I was thinking something like UnderAmour would help, but I need something for my thighs and something for the abs. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks,
Victoria

If you have a big issue with the skin, you can get it 1 size smaller, it will really hold things in place.
Like Scott said, you can get it from Walmart as well. It's much less expensive.
It works real well.
The first time you do something - It's going to be a personal record!

Do not be afraid. Experiment to find what works for you. Just don't buy more than one of something until you field test it,... as something too tight may affect your ability to move comfortably or your breathing.
I use the thigh length undershorts and a shirt that has at least short sleeves to keep the bat flaps from slapping. I have used compression shirts underneath a lesser outer shirt but only on cooler to cold days. The long sleeve ones are good for warmth as well as flab control.
Good luck and don't be too concerned about appearance as you are about getting out there,... as you will have a metamorphasis as you tone and lose. It is a wonderful and beautiful transistion to experience.
I tried using Assets and other shapewear but they didn't breath enough and I was too sweaty.

I got a tank with a built in sports bra from Marshalls - it's a ClimaCool (I can't really read the label anymore, that's more of a guess) and I LOVE IT!!! It's super long so I can tuck it into my compression shorts & it sucks me all in and keeps me from jiggling so much.
I recently picked up some full length running tights/spandex at Target - they're Champion - and they've got the compression (yay) and they keep me wicked warm outside when it's in the single digits!
