Although I commonly state that I am not athletic, the evidence most likely wouldn’t acquit me of that charge. since junior high I have dedicated the complying with sports and/or exercise activities: cross-country running (very slowly), throwing the discus as well as shotput (ineptly), playing soccer, both high-school indoor (hello, knee damage!) as well as college outside (position: benchwarmer), step aerobics (lots of fun however needs suspension of natural sense of the ridiculous), yoga (Iyengar, most fun ever, however truly only with one specific instructor [YOU understand who YOU ARE]), treadmill walking [only supportable by viewing of Dr. who as well as Torchwood]. Oh, as well as weightlifting, either intermittently or concurrently with any type of or all of the above.

And, of course, roller-skating, although anything performed in a location where you can likewise buy a corn dog is immediately suspect as exercise.

My biggest issue with exercise, of course, has always been the general crappitude of exercise WEAR. tight pants? Tighter tops? After a specific age, a “Don’t Mess With Texas” tee shirts as well as raggedy soccer shorts just don’t cut it.

And then came these folks. They sent me an email as well as I grudgingly took a look at their site, however the grudging turned to grudging admiration. This skirt is GREEN! It has workout shorts under it! It has two pockets. It has something called “tummy-tuck” technology. as well as the very best part? The style name is “Rollergirl.”

I don’t like the logo (I don’t like any type of logos) however hey, nothing’s PERFECT.

I’m seriously lured to get one of these; the weather’s getting better, I might utilize more exercise, my outside roller skates have just been gathering dust … as well as this would solve my “what can I wear skating in the Skokie Sculpture Park as well as not feel like a extremely conspicuous idiot in the grocery store on the method home?” problem.

And if I got the black one perhaps I’d even feel as much as skating in central Park. definitely more as much as it than skating in street clothes or in the ubiquitous (and too-tight) black lycra capri pants. You never understand …

The skirt’s $56, click on the picture to see their site. Their size chart goes as much as XXL (22), however it appears like this skirt is only as much as XL (about an 18).
