A sporty chance
Comfort is key whether you’ve stuck to your fitness-based New Year’s resolutions or have merely been stuck to the couch lately watching the Winter Olympics.
ELBOW GREASE MADE COMFY
This anti-stink, sweat-wicking, four-way stretch T-shirt is great for yoga or any indoor physical activity. The drawstring from your shorts or yoga pants can be threaded through the shirt’s anchor loop so your midriff remains under wraps during your workout. $84 at Lululemon, 1708 4th St. S.W., 403-207-5858, lululemon.com.
POWERFUL SUDS
Girls drop out of organized sports at a rate six times faster than boys. Canmore’s Rocky Mountain Soap Co. has paired up with Fast and Female, an initiative spearheaded by Olympic gold medallist and Canmore resident Chandra Crawford, to change that. This month’s featured soap has a floral-minty scent with notes of pepper, ylang ylang, and geranium. $5.50 at Rocky Mountain Soap Company, Core Shopping Centre, 403-263-7627, and three other Calgary locations, rockymountainsoap.com.
THE RETURN OF THE CHAMP
Although Champion has been involved with athletic wear for decades, its classic C logo recently became trendy in the fashion world. This reverse weave tri-coloured quilted crewneck has an old-school vibe that would look good on the basketball court or the catwalk. $150 at Understudy, 1312 1st St. S.W., 403-452-7151, understudyshop.com.
SHORT AND SWEET
These Carhartt sweat shorts feature deep side pockets, a back pocket, and adjustable waistband. They’re great for those playing sports or anyone just relaxing around the house. $81 at Gravity Pope, 1126 17th Ave. S.W., 403-209-0961, gravitypope.com.
BE LIKE SCOTTIE
Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen wore the Nike Air More Uptempo 96 while winning the 1996 NBA championship and the Olympic gold medal, so they should be good enough for your recreational team. $215 at Less17, 930 17th Ave. S.W., 403-228-9199, lessoneseven.com.
