Fashion Fitness
For Your Workout

W

hile there's no doubt
that looking good helps
you feel good while
working out, the bottom
line in fitness fashion is comfort.
That means selecting shoes
and clothing appropriate for your
sport of choice — most shoes now
are designed with a specific sport
in mind — and any athletic cloth-
ing should allow you to move
freely. Supportive athletic un-
derwear, such as bra•and jock
straps, also will make exercise
more comfortable.
Regardless of your sport and
style of choice, it' also essential to
find fabrics that help your body
breathe its way through a work-
out.
The latest fabrics are nylon mi-
cro blends that allow for breatha-
bility yet are less clingy and more
like cotton that their polyester
predecessors.
These fibers are used in sil-
houettes that run the gamut from
leotards and leggings to boxer
shorts and bra tops.

Muscle suits, thongs, and out-
fits with mesh panels are musts
for showing off well-toned mus-
cle, as are leotards with a variety
of special treatments such as zip-
pers, lace-ups and cut-out shoul-
ders and backs. Bra tops are
reversible, zippered and every-
thing in between.
For the more modest set, bike-
tards essentially are body suits
with bike-length legs. Unitards
go the range from sleeveless to
turtleneck. Bike tights also get
full treatment — from roll tops
and cuffs to layered effects. Box-
er shorts are for more that spar-
ring — they're all the rage as a
comfortable bike tight alterna-
tive.
As for colors, a spectrum of
solids and graphics abound — so
that each individual is sure to
find his colors of favor promi-
nently displayed on some attire
— but gray is becoming the hot
new neutral, replacing black as
the workout wear mainstay.

Kicking Bad Habits
Can Save A Life

t's easy to be an addict.
You simply give up control
of your life to a substance or
behavior that leaves little
room for rational thought — but
that somehow offers comfort to a
troubled soul.
What's difficult is leaving an
addiction behind.
Whether to a substance such
as alcohol, tobacco or illegal
drugs, or to an activity such as an
eating disorder, compulsive ex-
ercising or excessive shopping,
the first step toward recovery in
every instance is the realization
on the part of the addict that he
is an addict.
Some people come to this real-
ization on their own; others need
help to see their addiction. Ex-
perts suggest gently guiding peo-
ple to this realization by asking
open-ended questions such as:
What do you like about drinking-
smoking-drugs?
What don't you like? How does
smoking-purging-drinking affect
you, the people around you, the
environment, your life? How do
you spend your free time?
When a person honestly an-
swers such questions, he often be-

(

gins to see the need for change,
and you may be able to ask him
if he'd like to "just attend" a meet-
ing of a recovery-oriented group
treatment such as Nicotine
Anonymous or Alcoholics Anony-
mous.
Once a person is aware that he
has a problem and is ready to
seek change, professional help of-
ten is essential to success. To be-
gin, talk with a physician,
clergyman or counselor. In some
cases they may be able to help im-
mediately — as in the case of pro-
viding medication that can help
normalize irregular chemical
messages in the brain that can
contribute to eating disorders. Or,
in providing a prescription for
nicotine patches to help kick
smoking compulsion. These ad-
hesive stickers, which are
changed daily, release nicotine
into the body through the skin.
Typical treatment involves
wearing the patches for nine to
12 weeks, with the nicotine
dosages gradually being reduced
until the craving is not so severe.
In other instances, profession-
als may refer recovering addicts
to substance abuse treatment or
