Let's be honest. Looking good while working out is a big motivator. I want my butt looking awesome as a run past lines of cars through my neighborhood during the busiest time of the day for traffic. But unfortunately just looking cute is not enough. The many different pieces of activewear I put on has to perform under extreme circumstances. I live in the south and train for races through the hottest part of the year, so not only does it need to wick away sweat but it also can't be too heavy or stick to me too much. I spend lots of money, time and effort looking for the best of gear so when Influenster asked me to participate in their new camping with Victoria Secret Sport, I said "hell yeah!!"
So they sent me a lovely Victoria Secret box (you know the one, with the pink stripes! You can spot it anywhere.) filled with coupons for friends and a pair of the The Knockout Tight (in Marl) and the Incredible Bra (in black).
I was so excited that I immediately took my new sports bra out for a trail run the next day. Plenty of bouncing around on trails, especially since I'm not the most graceful. But the bra? It's great! It has a really nice amount of padding at the shoulders that I've never experienced before. It also really gives great shape without sacrificing function. The back racerback panel has breathable mesh, and even though there is a lot of support and padding to the bra I don't notice. There's also an adjustable back closure to make the fit even more personal.
When I went into the store to shop and use that coupon I was overwhelmed by all of the colors! I had a hard time choosing but ultimately went with the same bra but in a different color an zip front. I also tried on some different sizes to see how they fit me and decided that I should go down a cup size. Of course Victoria Secret is head and tails above the rest of the retail world in customer service so the
sales team was very helpful.

The tights are great too (duh). The waist is a little higher than I'd usually chose but they're still very comfortable and flattering. The most important thing for me is that the waistband has a drawstring! How many legging lack that? Sooooo many. I have a big rear end and a small waist so it's very necessary. I also decided to buy a pair of The Incredible crops too. I've been wearing them around all day!
