Macy’s has a new line of workout clothes, called Ideology, and they were kind enough to send me a sports bra for review and one to giveaway!! Thanks, Macy’s!

It’s a very cute sports bra, bright and fun. It has good coverage so it worked for yoga inversions as well as a crossfit workout. The size corresponds with your bra size but it was a bit snug on me so it might run a little small. I was also able to run in it, although if you’re bustier it might not be supportive enough. But cute and comfy and I’m always in need of another clean sports bra!

GIVEAWAY TIME:
For all of you interested in winning a new sports bra, please take a minute and look over Macy’s new Ideology line and leave a comment as to what interests you the most, and you will be entered to win!

And, the winner is Number 8!! Thanks for entering.

Giveaway ends April 15th, 2012.

Thanks for commenting!

THANK YOU, MERRELL for sponsoring the giveaway!!

For the past week I have been learning how to run, walk and train in my Barefoot Merrell’s called the Dash.  For those of you who are strict runners, these may seem completely different to what you are used to, however, these types of shoes will teach you the correct running technique and form that is most beneficial to your body.  I have both the Dash and the Access and I have loved them both so far!  {see review here}

Merrell has a new women’s site specifically for women that you can check out here. And there is a video made by some of Merrell’s women runners on why and how they use their shoes which I thought was interesting here.

MERRELL has generously offered to giveaway one pair of Dash or Access to one of you!!  Please take a minute and visit Merrell’s site for women and come back and leave a comment on which pair you’d love to try.  Winner will be chosen at Random on March 13, 2012 at 9pm PST.

YMX by Yellowman is one of the featured brands in both the Athleta and Terry Catalogs, which I’ve always drooled over. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to review the YMX by Yellowman Winter Cloud Blue Tank and matching leggings. At first glance, the print on the tank seemed very loud, but, once you put it on, it seems to fade a bit, and really, these tanks are works of art! All of the products by YMX offer an SPF of 30 or more, are moisture-wicking, feather weight light, soft and easy to wear day in and day out. You’ll get lots of comments on this tank, I promise!

YMX by Yellowman has a fascinating story to tell, one that you should all read!
From the Website:
THE YELLOWMAN STORY

YellowMan founder, Peter Mui, started the concept of YellowMan under that premise that skin color should never be a barrier against social status. He should know. Chinese blood, and Oklahoma native, his identity breaks all the usual cultural stereotypes. He’s true to all dimensions of his identity, proudly exuding his Chinese heritage on one side and down-home country singer on the other. Tall, broad-shouldered, and overflowing with confidence, Peter Mui can not be packaged into any preconceived category.

All of the YMX by Yellowman products are meant to be worn as highly fashionable workout clothes, cycling or yoga clothing in addition to easily having a crossover as street clothes.

CONTEST TIME:

YMX by Yellowman is offering YOU the exact same outfit featured here. The Winter-Cloud Blue Tank and Matching Leggings! The leggings are a perfect base layer for under your ski pants or for a long cross country ski. The fit is great, and they would easily offer the comfort you’d require on a cold, icy day on the slopes.

To enter the contest, please visit YMX by Yellowman and come back and leave a comment on what you love about the products! Winner will be drawn at Random on Sunday, November 6th, 2011.

Number 22! Thank you to all of you for entering and also a big THANK YOU to NUX Activewear for the generous giveaway!

Apologies for the photo quality, I went to extreme measures to ask bribe my child to take the photo and after six attempts, this was the best of the bunch, but I did want you all to see the outfit.  NUX was kind enough to send me a complete outfit for purposes of review.  Pictured above is the V-FitnessPants and the Sport Hoody.  As you can see, NUX is a very sexy, form fitting brand that offers fabulous colors of workout wear. I love that green Sport Hoody.  My favorite piece of the three items I received was the Focus Bra {not pictured here} which has become my “go-to” bra for work. It’s super comfortable, it breathes well and it doesn’t pinch me anywhere.   These clothes are meant to let you shine on any workout day.

From the website:

NUX delivers a fresh approach to activewear with a collection of engineered seamless designs that combine fashion and performance with comfort and freedom of movement. Each piece is made with a special blend of yarns that have moisture absorbing properties built into the fiber.

GIVEAWAY TIME:

NUX is offering one winner the V-Fitness Pants and Sport Hoody!   Please take a minute and visit their website and come back and tell us what you think!  You can also “like” them on Facebook or follow them  Twitter for the latest updates, sales or new products coming out.

Contest will run through Sunday, October 2nd.  The winner will be drawn at random and announced on Monday, October 3rd.

FTC- A big thank you to NUX for sending me these clothes for purposes of review and the opinion above is my own.

Congratulations!!

And THANK YOU TO BODYWEAR BOUTIQUE for hosting this awesome contest!!

I love alo workout wear! I previously got to try two of their banded cotton tank tops and I’ve worn them out. Also, for our Regional workout wear, we also got to wear alo. They breathe well, they fit well, they don’t stink after multiple washes and the company is very good to the environment. So, when Bodywear Boutique asked me to do a review + giveaway for them, I immediately picked alo. WHOO HOOO!

This time around, I picked two of their tops designed more for working out! I tried the “Crossover Double Tank” and the Mesh Lace Workout Tank. These tops do not disappoint; absolutely beautiful to wear, moisture-wicking and sexy. I found these tops to be fine for whatever the workout required- running, push-ups, burpees, anything, but, my one note on these particular tops was that the shelf bra could offer a little bit more coverage {nipples show through}.

However, all things considered, these are fantastic tops!

$100 GIFTCARD BY BODYWEAR BOUTIQUE!!

Readers, please take a minute and visit Bodywear Boutique and come back and leave a comment on what you’d pick out if you one! They carry a large variety of brands such as Hard Tail, alo, I am Beyond and Pink Lotus. I’d invite you to “like” them on Facebook so that you can keep track of all their sales and discounts as well as see what’s new and exciting for fall!

Winner will be chosen at Random on Sunday, September 11, 2011 at 9pm PST.

FTC- the shirts were free and this opinion is my own!

Thanks again Champion for hosting this giveaway!!
