Warm-ups
Don’t you think warm-up pants should be outlawed?
Today no one tried to race me in Central Park, but someone running in loud plastic pants scared me out of my zone. Those pants are so loud!
I actually have spent way too many days in plastic pants. A gym I worked for required trainers to wear these along with a matching jacket. I’m so short, I looked like I was wearing a blue hazmat suit minus the headgear. (that’s not a joke, its the sad truth)
Anyhow, today I started my new 1/2 marathon training plan. It needs some adjustments. I think that cold last week took more out of me than I realized.
Before heading out for my run today, I did this fantastic warm-up from Runners World.
I highly recommend trying it before heading out into the cold for your next run.
What’s the worst uniform you’ve ever had to wear for a job?
It’s funny you mention those pants because my roommates and I hated them in university! So many guys wore them all the time!
Thanks for that video! i definitely want to give it a try.
Worst uniform was probably when I worked at a cafe at my school. I had to wear a hairnet…nuff said.
Hahaha! This post made my giggle
Those pants are funny… they remind me of parachute pants!
Estela, you are spot on!! Why didn’t I think of that?
First off, I want that chica’s legs in the warm up video!!! Second…my Dairy Queen uniform in high school was the standard brownish shirt and khakis. But mind you this was the 90’s..early 90’s…so the khakis were pleated and not flattering on any body type. And I probably pinch rolled the bottoms. HA!

Great video! Coincidentally I just did a post on dynamic stretching! Its a great way to warm up.
Haha I like those kind of pants, but ironically never actually wear them while working out, they are more lounge around kind of pants for me. I’ve never had to wear anything too terrible for work, except maybe bathing suits haha, not so comfortable to wear all day!
Funny post! Made me laugh
haha I hate those pants too! I have two in my closet but only for laundry emergencies!
I never understood how anyone could run in warmup pants! The sound makes me cringe.
I can totally hear the guy running by you! Funny….. Maybe I should try that workout before I run next time.
Ahh I hate the sound of plastic pants swishing together!!!!
