I thought you were planning on getting a Bicycle... and now there is Cycle hanger at the end of our road... You have no excuse... .. Bicycles and Ale are never a good combination... though it seems to be a good idea until you have to push the thing home. :)Foxy Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/100963-sweaty-betty-shop-in-east-dulwich/page/2/#findComment-983332 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You (who I suspect has no interest in yoga and sports wear) noticed it and remembered it. That's a catchy name.

Angelina Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 oh, but there is science involved...it's not just pretty colours and exclusive price tags. It's about ergonomically designed clothes and all sorts of other factors..Did you know - for example "In sport, compression clothing has been designed to improve recovery following exercise and training. A similar concept applies to the tight-fitting shirts worn by a number of the teams in the finals of the 2007 World Cup for Rugby Union, with claims of increasing energy levels through transfer of ions to the body".I quite like watching the rugby, hadn't though there was a reason for their tight tops....

Otta Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 A quick google of "compression leggings" suggests you can ick up a pair for as little as ?15.

Otta Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I can imagine people who are properly in to their yoga splashing out on this stuff. Just as with any sport, if it becomes a real passion you'll go out and buy good gear. But most people that just enjoy a knock about will just wear their shorts and t-shirts.

DulwichFox Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I do have some 'Sports' vests which I bought from JB Sports in Surrey Quays.. They are designed to support muscles when lifting weights... They were ?3.99 reduced from ?7.99... Unfortunately they did not come supplied with any muscles...

Angelina Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I quite like the concept of www.fatladattheback.com (although it seems they specialise in cycling).Personally, I like swimming, but wearing the right gear for sport can make you more inclined to actually use your gym membership....I'll definitely have a look when it opens and maybe find some inspiration.Maybe we could have a ED runners club (beginners-and-not-too-far for starters...

LondonMix Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Dulwich Park already has a running club and I think they welcome all levels. Of course ED could start its own :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/100963-sweaty-betty-shop-in-east-dulwich/page/2/#findComment-983479 Share on other sites More sharing options...
