I’ve always been pretty active and grew up playing sports (I played competitive soccer from age 4 to 22!) and was extremely active through college as well. Since leaving a college campus however, I’ve learned that you have to be a bit more intentional at finding the time to work out while balancing a job, a marriage, and a social life. Throw some animals in the mix and there goes all your time! The husband and I do a lot of outdoor activities like hiking and taking the pup for long walks, and since these activities have a social component I always want to (at least attempt) to stay cute! In comes Victoria’s Secret! For the longest time I’ve adored their items from a far as it’s my lingerie store of choice, so I was beyond excited to receive this duo in the mail – in my favorite colors no less!
I love the details and the functionality of these pieces! I usually have a hard time finding the right size in regular bras, much less sports bras that are made with band and cup sizes so I’ve mostly stuck to broader size categories. I can only imagine if I have a hard time with a pretty normal size how others must feel! I love that the fit makes you feel supported and still feminine. The pants are great, and super comfy too! They’re a bit thicker than I thought, so I would definitely recommend them for cooler weather though. And as a note, though they say Capri, they are certainly ankle length pants on me so shorter gals (5’5″ & under) beware. Personally I’m glad they are longer, because as I said they are a bit thicker, so perfect for colder weather. Overall I am impressed & quite pleased with these two adorable (& matching!) pieces! Not to mention the loads of coupons for friends to use with me!
Speaking of workout essentials, you need to have to right equipment as well as the right outfit! I love being able to tuck away upstairs and do some pilates or yoga and break out all those fitness routines I’ve pinned on Pinterest – especially when it’s frigid outside or too dark to see anything. Plus, I’m not a huge fan of running as it is, so these types of activities are great when there’s no time to join a pool or a gym.
How do you prefer to work out?
