Wearing Shorts Out

Do you wear shorts? I rarely do. I don't wear them to run because 'wind rashes' appear on my thighs if they aren't covered by tights. I don't wear them to the exercise studios because I don't like so much bare skin touching mats and such. Also, I generally get a ton of bruises on my legs from krav maga, so I don't really want to show 'em off to the world. I don't wear shorts at home because it's cooler to wear dresses. Hurhurhur.

However during lockdown in the months of April to June, it was so damn hot exercising at home that I bought three pairs of shorts from Decathlon. Now that I’ve stopped working out at a gym, and do HIIT stuff at home, these shorts still come in handy. These shorts that are more like tights. The flappy shorts have got additional tights in there, upholding my modesty in all exercise moves. For S$10 each, I have no complaints!

My legs are too pale. LOL They're in the 'original' skin tone while my shoulders and arms are shades more tanned. Since the shorts are already being used, I try to wear them while walking the dog in the mornings. Let's see if the legs get a bit of color on them in the sun. I don't fancy wearing shorts when I'm out with the dog because, mozzies, and in case other enthusiastic dogs jump on me and leave nail marks down the front of my thighs. 

That day I wore shorts to pilates for the first time. Even the instructor was like, “Oh. Is this the first time I see you in shorts?” Well, yeah, I guess. I had my own towel, so all was comfy. Had some bruises, but nothing splendid and eye-catching. Hahahah. I had my legs off of the Reformer and Chair mostly, so it didn't feel too awkward.
