Yeheey!!! I just got my wish, a 2 nike compression short from my wonderful and very generous sister Ate Tess. Plus she gave me a nike cap and 6 pair of nike socks, Wow! What a good presence. Thank you Ate Tess for your unstopping support.

When i started running i saw mostly in a man wearing compression shorts. I ask myself what’s in a compression shorts. Why most runners want to wear it?

According to Wikipedia “Compression shorts” are undergarments usually worn by athletes. They are form-fitting garments and when worn cover the athlete's waist to mid or lower thigh. These garments are often made from a spandex-type material, similar to cycling shorts.

The main benefits of compression shorts are:

• Reducing muscle fatigue
• Helping maintain energy levels
• Improving proprioception
• Improving center of motion
• Increasing efficiency of movement
• Providing heightened responsiveness
• Improving force and power production
• Reducing muscle vibration
• Preventing Injury**
• In addition, there is some evidence that compression shorts may enhance athletic performance.

Aside from looking good it’s very helpful to my body. So, goodbye to my baggie shorts, although sometimes i have to wear them in my training run.
