New Find - Great Workout Shorts

Nike has these new running shorts that I love for the gym. These shorts are the Nike Acceleration Knit Short and come in black, blue and red. I only have them in the black, but what other color of shorts do you ever need. They are the right length for just about anyone and are true-to-fit sizing. Nike can sometimes be all over the place with thier clothes sizing. They are selling for around $38 in the store but I have found them in different colors on ebay for much less. The great thing about them are that they do conform to your shape so you look good and they don't get in the way or move too much then you are doing your lifting. But the don't hug you too much like bike shorts, where no one looks good in those.

What are your must haves for the gym?

Don't Play it Again Sports

So you aren’t using the abinator you had to have or just have out grown your treadmill, what to do? You’re not going to throw them out. And then it comes to you, Play-It-Again Sports buys used sports equipment. How perfect. Well not so much!!!! Have you ever tried to sell any of your used equipment at one of their stores? I have tried to sell several items there, from martial arts equipment to gym equipment and it never been a pleasant experience. I have left the store most of the time with my items still in hand. I am not sure how much they really buy from the customers.

Has anyone else had better luck? Or is it just a marketing ploy to get you in the door.
