If you don’t know by now I am a category 3 shopaholic and cute workout clothes is a must. Wearing something cute makes you feel great everywhere!! So don’t half step because your going to burn some calories. It’s no different. I want to look cute while I teach Zumba, go for a brisk walk, or if I decide to swing by the gym for some cardio. Some people strongly believe that plus size women never workout, but I have come today to shed the light on that cliché. Curvy Girls Workout Too and let’s set the record straight, Size does not equal healthy. I love all women but we must stop judging others and learn to appreciate all body types.
The plus size fashion industry has evolved quite a bit. I remember when all a plus size women could find to workout in was jogging pants and a t-shirt or the clothing for plus size women was very boring and basic. I’m thankful that this is not the case anymore. We can now let our confidence shine as we transform with fabulous selections from Rainbeau Curves, Lane Bryant, and Old Navy.
I decided to take some detailed pictures and give you a quick review on the plus size workout line Rainbeau Curves. Rainbeau Curves is an apparel company that offers plus size clothing and activewear for women made with high performance & fashion fabrics (via website). I was pretty shocked of how great this set fits me. The brand runs true to size and I think that going down a size in the leggings wouldn’t hurt at all. I ordered a 2x in the leggings because I was not familiar of how they would fit my size 18 frame, but they were big a bit and I could have sized down to a 1x. I’m overall happy! I will link the set i purchased below along with some of my faves from Lane Bryant and Old Navy.

I totally agree with you when you said, “Size does not equal healthy.” As you know, I am in the military, weighing 114 lbs. and I still struggle with sit ups and push ups. I get tired of hearing, “Small as you are, you should be doing at least 100,” or whatever else they have to say. I feel like I’ve failed before I even start my test, because I know they’ll have something to say. 😧
