Some of you who follow me on Twitter or who have taken a peek at Labor of Loss know that I've been making a point to be much more active and incorporate physical activity into my regular schedule. I don't know about you, but if I'm hitting the gym where there are lots of buff guys and equally attractive women working up a sweat, I want to look as cute as I possibly can in my work out clothes. Sick of heading to fitness classes in leggings and an old t-shirt, I was super excited when Curves in Motion, a part of Swimsuits For All, contacted me about trying out some of their plus size active wear. I couldn't wait to get my digs on and hit the gym!
I chose a pair of contrasting capri pants and a matching racerback tank. The tank is just a normal cotton tank of medium weight, and comfortable to move around in. It definitely runs small though; I requested the 2x's measurements are listed as 44.5-49" at the bust and 36.5-41.5" at the waist - According to the size chart it should fit with a bit of room as my waist is 38" but it was definitely a little snug. The capris, which are 90% cotton and 10% lycra, fit perfectly, and all the stretch was great as I am usually doing lots of squats and lunges. I know they'll be great for running too as the waist is high enough that there's no muffin top and it sucks everything in.
For the curvy girl who wants to look as stylish at the gym as she does out on the town, Curves in Motion is a great spot to pick up some cute activewear at great prices (the tank I'm wearing is on sale for $2.98!). Just be sure to size up if you're checking out the racerback tank I'm rocking!
