Look Good! Feel Good! Perform Good!

I love to work out.  Well, when I am fully healthy I love to workout! Right now I am doing my best to not cough every few minutes!   When I do enjoy a fitness activity – my passion is running – I love to feel and look the part.

It is amazing how dressing the part can have such an impact on my performance!  When I dress like an athlete, I FEEL like an athlete and I PERFORM better!

Do you feel the same way?

I also notice when I dress more feminine (make up, feminine clothes, hair did) I feel super girly.  Yet, when I am in my don’t know how many days since my last shower and sporting snotted on sweats… I don’t feel so sexy!  Sometimes, how you LOOK resembles how you FEEL!  At least for me that is the case.

Come on, we all know that when you look good, you feel good. And when you feel good, you go the extra mile!  Finding the perfect athletic apparel that inspires is something that I am always on the look out for, and I have two products to share with you today.

A few weeks ago (pre germ filled house), I received a package from Celliant to try out some of their products: socks, headband, and more.

Celliant uses technology that modifies visible and infrared light, recycling them into energy that the body can use more effectively. When worn as clothing, it redirects this recycled energy back to the body increasing blood flow and blood oxygen levels in the tissue.

Celliant effectively modifies both visible and infrared light so it does not need to be exposed to a light source to function. The increased blood flow and blood oxygen levels in the tissue help muscles and joints combat stiffness, soreness and edema caused by aging, injury or arthritis.

Many satisfied users have described the effects of better oxygenation in the body. More recently, the beneficial effects of Celliant fabric materials have been measured in a series of clinical studies among diabetics and healthy subjects

I really liked the socks (because how often do I really sport a head band and arm warmers?).  They fit snug on my feet and did not bunch during my long runs.  Did I feel more energetic and oxygenated while wearing my socks? I am not sure. I do know that I did not feel pain in my feet… but I do not suffer from injury or arthritis.  Yet, I did not have any leg stiffness or soreness after my 8 miler!  I guess it is something to keep trying out to test the recycled energy!

A few weeks ago (still pre-germ filled house and coughing fits), I received a Cut for me Leggings from Lucy Activewear to try out and share my opinions with YOU!

Why am I lifting my shirt in this photo? I have no clue!? perhaps to show you the cut and comfort fit at the waist band?   No idea!!

These leggings you can cut to adjust to your height (I am petite) and it will not shred.  You can customize your perfect fit with these leggings.

I personally LOVED the fit and feel of these leggings.  They were soft, comfortable, and moved with me.  They kept me warm without over heating, applied compression (less jiggle) and had fantastic moisture wicking fabric!

I must admit, I LOVE my leggings and wear them whenever they are clean (or pass the sniff test).  They are my go to workout pants… and sometimes lounging around the house pants!  If you haven’t checked out Lucy for your fitness attire yet… go for it! You will have trouble deciding what outfit you want to try first!
