fitness adventures around Toronto

To crop or not?

Throughout the month of January I followed the adventures of someone who challenged herself to wear only two pairs of pants for the whole month. The whole idea around this challenge was to dress for your workout and your day in basically the same clothing…or maybe it was something to do with being more environmentally conscious with your clothing habits. Whatever the purpose it was a cool idea and I did check in to see how she was doing each day. However, I think I was more intrigued by the following:

Both pairs of pants that she had to live in for an entire month were skin-tight legging type material and one was a crop pant. How was she going to be able to come up with multiple outfits that revolved around this look? She definitely pulled it off and by the end of the month I had convinced myself that I too needed a pair of wunder under crops for my workouts. 

Slight problem, though.

I have hips and am not 6 feet tall. Could I really pull off this cropped, skin-tight legging look for my workouts? Doubtful. 

But a girl can dream and maybe there is a pair of skin-tight workout crops that could work for me. 

PS: I’m not delusional enough to think I could actually wear these for a full day outing…only for exercise.
