Recently I posted about how I joined a gym and how it wasn’t working for me. {read post here}
The wonderful team at Active Truth read my post and reached out to me to gift a pair of leggings. I’m in training to climb a giant mountain, which I’m equally excited and terrified about. {By climb I mean walk for 6+ hours at a steep incline.} It’s been on the bucket list for a while so it’s handy to have a couple of pairs of my fave leggings to wear.
You’ll rarely see me wearing plain black workout leggings. Just because you are plus size doesn’t mean that you can’t wear fun prints. Gone are the days where I’ve tried to cram my body into Lorna Jane etc just so I don’t have to wear black.
I’d rather spend the money with businesses who have tailored their designs to fit a plus size body and not just ‘upsized’ their designs. So anytime I see a brand that makes colourful workout leggings specifically for plus sized women, I get SUPER excited.
When I buy leggings I want to be able to bend over and move without them rolling down below my belly.
I’ve had these confetti style leggings for a month now and thoroughly tested them out. I’d planned to take photos every time I wore them but you know…..I forgot most of the time.
Working out at the gym, yoga class and shopping for food before camping
Every time I wear them women stop me and ask where they are from. I pretty much had to do a fashion show at the local hairdressers because everyone wanted to see them.
High firm waistband holds the tummy in
When it comes to the top, I always wear a vneck cotton tshirt. My go to shirts at the moment are from Target and Sussans. I especially love the relaxed fit of the Sussan tops and they have a longer back. (not pictured)
Now many of you frequently ask these questions when I post about work out gear. So here’s the details for the Active Truth leggings.
– Aussie made and designed
– Breathable and moisture-wicking compression fabric keeps you cool and dry
– Flat and minimal seams to reduce chaffing
– Double-layer high supportive waistband
– Smooth ultra-flat, superior-coverage fabric with matt finish
– 78% Recycled Polyester, 22% Xtra Life LYCRA®
– UV protective
Size wise I’m an 18, wear a M in CityChic and wearing a 2XL which are quite roomy. I could comfortably go down a size.
{my car is super filthy and dusty after camping on the weekend}
I just love Winter in the tropics. It’s the time of year where I love to get active! So be prepared to see lots of social media posts of me out an about. Especially with Swifty. (that’s my car)
Disclosure – this is not a sponsored post. I was gifted the leggings and loved them so I wrote about them
