Tek Gear Sports Bra&Shirt: Product Review

When I look for workout gear, I look for affordable, comfortable clothing. I don't think it's necessary to spend tons of money on workout clothes that you're just going to sweat in - that is what you should be doing in them... nobody should go to the gym just to look pretty, at least not in my opinion. Kohl's has some really great workout clothes, from sports bras to yoga pants, and it's even better when you receive a 30% off coupon in the mail (which is really the only time I go to Kohl's, because I like to SAVE as much as possible)! When I went a few weeks ago, I hadn't been looking for workout clothes, but I stopped in the section anyways, and I'm glad I did, because I found such great deals! I ended up buying a brand of workout clothes that I had never heard of - Tek Gear. I bought two sports bras (a sports bra for $9.00 and two workout shirts for $7.99 each). I was ecstatic to score such a great deal because you can never have enough sports bras and shirts right!?

I went home and immediately wore the sports bra and shirt to the gym for a workout. While I loved the sports bra, and found it extremely comfortable, the shirt could have been tighter. I had to wear a tank top underneath so that the shirt didn't slide up when I took a cardio kickboxing class. Other than the fact that they were a bit loose, I loved the fabric and the feel of the shirts. They were affordable, comfortable, and absorbed some of the sweat. I kept the two shirts, but haven't gotten any more; however, I went back and bought two more sports bras in bright green and grey. I would definitely recommend the sports bras to anyone looking for a comfortable, inexpensive one, but I probably would recommend looking at a different brand for a shirt that is more tight fitting.

ViewSPORT Tanktop: Product Review

Since I've gotten into working out 6x a week, I've been obsessing over all things fitness. If you ask me what's on my Christmas list, about 90% of the things I listed are fitness related. Let's be honest though, most of the time you can't wait for Santa to come, so you end up buying it yourself. That's what happened to me a few months ago... I just needed this ViewSPORT tanktop, especially because I was kickboxing 3x a week.

ViewSPORT is "an innovative fitness apparel line focused on the motivated athlete, sports teams, the military, and others looking to get the most from their fitness and training efforts." Their apparel has sweat activated technology that reveals a design or words once the perspiration comes in contact with the fabric, which makes you that much more determined to give your workouts your all, so that the words can reward you! 

{Their mission} - "ViewSPORT’s mission is to motivate and empower all those interested in living healthier and more active lives with a new tool to visibly measure their hard work." (and let me just tell you, it works!)

There are plenty of men and women's apparel to choose from, in many different colors and styles. I chose the "Drowned In Their Own Sweat" Charcoal on Teal Tank, in a small because you want it to be form fitting. I had talked to a representative from ViewSPORT on Twitter who helped me with sizing and a small discount! Make sure you network people! I got a great deal on it at the time, and I couldn't have been more excited when I received it in the mail! 

I threw it on before I headed to an intense hour of kickboxing, knowing that I would sweat, and making sure I pushed myself even harder in order for the sweat activated technology to work, and boy did it ever! The words, TRAIN HARDER, appeared on the lower back of my tanktop, so I wasn't able to see it until I got home, but lucky enough for me the words were still there. 

Not only does this make you work harder, but it makes working out fun! While I was kickboxing, I kept thinking how awesome it was that people close to my bag could look at my back and see words of inspiration. Who knows, maybe it made them train harder as well! 

I love this tank top and wear it as often as I can. If you haven't mailed your wishlist out to Santa yet, I think you should definitely add a ViewSPORT tank to the bottom, or maybe even to the top of your list. Now I just need to decide which tanktop I want next!

Snuggie Up

I recently received a Snuggie on Christmas and I love it. It's tan color, so it's not an embarrassingly bright shade of pink or blue. It feels just like a blanket, and it's perfect for when you want to read or hold a cup of tea by the fire. Recently, while searching the web, I came across a Snuggie for two, just in time for Valentine's day. I, for one, know my boyfriend would not be happy to sit on a couch in a Snuggie with me. He'd rather be able to snuggle up under a blanket. I don't think I'd like the Snuggie for Two either, especially because it seems like you can't exactly be close to each other.

What do you guys think?

I'll write a post about my first day of classes for Spring Semester tomorrow; it's been a long day. 

I also have some exciting news as a blogger and I cannot wait to share it with you guys tomorrow!
