Let's Get Physical - Plus Size Gym Wear from OBD Clothing

When looking for new plus size gym wear, it's hard to not feel like you're a bit of an afterthought. Lines frequently stop at a 22, if not an 18, almost as if fat girls don't do fitness. But we do! And I've been on the look out for some new threads now that I've started 5k training again, so was very happy when OBD Clothing got in touch, having just launched a new plus size line.

Let's Get Physical - SS15 Sportswear from Primark

Since the start of Winter, my work out regime has mostly been indoors. I managed to pick up a second hand exercise bike for next to nothing, and I'd drag myself from duvet to bike seat whilst still in pre-tea-zombie mode. Whilst this was great for the cooler months, I live near a massive heath and have been keen to get back to running again with fresh air and pretty views. However as I've got so used to working out in my pyjamas, I really needed to re-evaluate my sportswear collection.

I've never been one to spend lots of money on sportswear, as I'd much rather invest in the more fun side of fashion. However Primark have hit the nail on the head with their SS15 sportswear range, with combines affordability, style and designs made to be pushed to the limit. And the best thing? The price ranges between just £3.50 to £14!

Whilst the active wear doesn't come in a specific plus size range, it does go up to a very stretchy size 20 so would fit larger, especially in the tops. (On a side note, if you're very busty it can be worth having a peek in the men's active wear department. I managed to pick up an incredibly lightweight, waterproof wind breaker for £7 a few seasons ago which has served me well whilst running in the rain.)

The current collection features a really pretty Spring colour palette, with pastel pinks and ice-blues providing the perfect antidote for grey skies. The fabric is designed to be quick drying, with some items having reflective panels and mesh detailing in addition to hidden pockets for phones, ipods and keys.

It's such a pretty collection, and perfect whether you want to hit the gym, practice yoga or go for a run. The range will also be updated every few weeks, and coordinates with bags, trainers and socks for a full collection.

It's pretty enough to have convinced me to shed my pjs and get my running back on track and I can't wait to rock it as I start my 5k training again.

Until next time,
