Get Your Butt in Gear: Base Miles Headband

FitSugar — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 02:30:00 -0800

I need to have my ears covered up when I am running in the cold. I can be a little chilly everywhere else on my body, but my ears start to hurt after just a few minutes of running in the cold, especially if the wind is blowing.

My new favorite solution for this problem is the Base Miles Headband ($19) from Athleta. Moisture-wicking and insulating for your long miles in cold weather, this piece is made from lightweight fabric that’s brushed on the inside for maximum comfort and smooth on the outside. What's more? The rollover binding minimizes chafing while the reflective-trimmed ponytail hole holder adds to the comfort of such an important accessory to any winter outdoor workout. Buy it here.

Get Your Butt in Gear: Chase Skort by Athleta

FitSugar — Mon, 21 May 2007 02:30:00 -0700

I am always on the lookout for cute running skirts. They are just so cute, while being so practical. This Chase Skort by Athleta is a little more like a running mini - it has a 4 inch inseam. Owww!!!!! The skirt and the under shorts are both made out of ultra-breathable Power Mesh fabric so you will stay cool while you look cool. The waistband sits flat so it's comfy, and there is a hidden, zippered pocket for your keys and ID. It comes in white with an adorable pattern for $54 or in wasabi (green), petunia (hot pink) or black (that needs no explanation) for $49.

Order one directly from Athleta. If you have any questions, their customer service department is super helpful.

There are so many cute tennis dresses out there, but you need something to wear under them, preferably with pockets. Where are going to keep the balls?

The Ace Shorts by Athleta are one of the best options out there. The sleek waistband is not only comfortable, but it sits flat under your tennis dress. The fitted shorts also have 2 handy pockets for balls. Made from spandex and polyester, the shorts have a gusseted crotch so you can run full stride to get those passing shots as well.

Buy them for $34 directly from Athleta, and play tennis in style.

FitSugar — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 11:30:00 -0800

Athleta (pronounced more like athletics than athlete) makes amazing clothes for your workout.

Designed for specific activities, the clothes are tested by real ladies who are super active in a specific sport. The testers give feedback and Athleta alters their designs so the form of the clothes serves the function of the body in the activity. The end result is workout gear that is comfortable and supportive as well as super cute and stylish.

They make workout clothes for just about every sport of physical practice, including: yoga, running / walking, swimming (great for surfing), Pilates, golf, tennis, hiking, climbing, skiing, and snowboard.
