Bootcamp is still going well. After the end of week 2, I’m down to 176.5 lbs, although considering how much I ate in the 24 hours AFTER weigh-in, that number has little chance of going down this week.
When it comes to working out, I’m very picky about my gear. I want clothing I can move well in, my hair has to be tied up using a certain ponytail holder so it won’t slip, and my shoes have to be lightweight and easy to move in.
At Blissdom this year, Jockey was one of the sponsors and in the expo area they were showcasing their new Jockey Sport line of activewear for women. We all had codes in our conference gift bags that we could enter at their table for the chance to win free activewear.
I had already browsed the Jockey website long before I arrived at the conference, and I was excited to see the Jockey Sport line in person. While I have a few sports bras and tops that I like, I am lacking in workout pants. Most are either too heavy, don’t wick away sweat well enough, or simply don’t fit a woman with curves.
In the expo area, I first admired the bright, colorful tank tops, each with a built-in sports bra. The tone-on-tone stripes are pretty, and the way they fade from light to dark makes me think they’d give me the illusion of a smaller waist. I’ll happily accept any illusion I can get!
The code I received awarded me a pair of pants – my choice on style. I picked the modern crop pant and nearly sprinted up to my hotel room to try it on. At first, I worried it was too small as I wiggled it over my hips – turns out, they just know how to make pants for women. The waistband was small, but once past my hips the pants were amazingly comfortable – plenty of room in the hips and seat without any gaping at the waist.I’ve since worn these pants to a couple of my bootcamp sessions and they’re wonderful. They’re lightweight, easy to move in, wick away sweat quickly, and they have a neat little zipper-pocket at the back of the waistband just big enough for a key.
Overall, I’m happy with the Jockey Sport modern crop pants. They’re comfortable, they’ve held up well through a couple of washes, and they look great when I wear them.
Full disclosure: I won a free pair of Jockey Sport pants at Blissdom and decided to share my experience here. No review was expected or promised, and no further compensation was received. All opinions expressed are my own.
