Review: Long-sleeved fitness tee and capri leggings from ActivewearUSA

If you caught my Body after Baby fitness/weight-loss post, the top I was wearing I received courtesy of ActivewearUSA.

It’s true that you don’t “need” expensive fitness wear to exercise, but I recommend it. Yes, you can throw on a t-shirt and pair of shorts, go out and run. But discomfort is probably going to affect your workout negatively. It does mine. High-quality workout gear is going to keep you cool in the heat, warm in the cold, and comfortable during the in-between. It should wick moisture away from your skin, letting you feel as dry as possible. High-quality fitness clothing should also hold up over time and last longer than cheap or regular clothing.

I received the ION Actif long sleeve fitness tee and Beyond Yoga capri leggings in white.

The top is very comfortable. The fabric feels smooth and sleek, and I’ve been wearing it running when it’s around 55 to 65 degrees. After I’ve been running for over 10 minutes, the top keeps me plenty warm and does wick moisture from my skin. There are two little pockets on both sides of the shirt. They’re large enough that you can fit a set of keys and ID card. The wrists also have thumb holes, so I can keep the sleeves down (and my hands warm). Even without my thumbs through the holes, I never have trouble with the sleeves riding up, but the holes do come in handy if I’m doing push-ups, etc., after my run.

When I first pulled the capri leggings out of the package, my initial thought was they are incredibly cute and soft. And they are…just not on me. I gave them to my SIL, who’s smaller than I am, and as you can see, the capris fit her perfectly. The ruching on the legs give these leggings a stylish touch.

Getting fit at home: GROOV3 “Living Room Sessions”

I’ve been promising for a while now to start a “Body after Baby” series, and I’m happy to announce that series is still in the works! Look for “Body after Baby” next month. This series will feature a great line up of mom guest posters, including a Zumba instructor and a professional body builder.

But what if you don’t have the time or money to be a “gym rat?” Well, one of the things the Army taught me is that you can be in shape and get a great workout without using anything other than your body. If you’re not sure where to start, a free online fitness video may help. Since you’re reading this post, I’m going to assume you have Internet and can log onto YouTube! I’ve come across a few fitness videos and programs online that I like, but the most recent is GROOV3.

Benjamin Allen, dancer and celebrity choreographer, founded the cardio-dance workout GROOV3 with the idea that dance should be fun and for everyone, of all ages and abilities. Allen has now brought his classes right into everyone’s home. His “Living Room Sessions” are free and available for viewing on YouTube.

I’ve done several of Allen’s sessions now, and I’m really enjoying them. Even my mother-in-law got into it while visiting! The sessions start off slow, while Allen shows you the steps. As the session progresses, the intensity increases, and you put everything together. I always break a sweat by the end. Are you coordinated? I’m not! I’m the epitome of the white girl dancing stereotype. Some of the moves I was able to get after a few tries, but there are others I’ll have to work on. But I didn’t feel like any of the steps were so difficult that I’ll never get them.

You can subscribe to Living Room Sessions on the GROOV3 YouTube channel. There are currently six sessions ranging from about 12 minutes to 24. If you’re not sure about diving right in, Allen does have some basic tutorials.

If you check out Living Room Sessions, I’d love to hear what you think! What workouts do you do at home?
