Fitness, Fashion and Momming #ReebokCloudRide

This post was sponsored by Reebok as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

When my friends and I get a chance to connect, we seem to always talk about momming hard. Going for it, each and every day. We live our lives constantly on the go – from the sprint of getting to school in the morning, to walking the dog, running errands- which always seems like a vacation when you only have one child with you, to exploring new places on the weekends – we rarely stop moving. From AM to PM, I’m left standing on my feet kept constantly on my toes… and I need the comfort and ability to move within the parameters my life gives me.

 

Fitness

Fitness has always been a really big part of my life, but with it now also being my job, I often find myself caught between needing to be ready for work and wanting to look (and feel) put together.

My faves to staying nicely nestled in between fit mom and fierce business woman are in the details.

Bottoms that move + show:

 

Nothing ever happened waiting for tomorrow. Because there is always a tomorrow to think about… But will you have the energy to be totally present? Will you feel good enough to really enjoy it? Are you going to be planning how to make those changes you really want “tomorrow” all day today? Is this really how you want to live, for a tomorrow that isn’t guaranteed? For goals you have left unachieved, unplanned for… goals you’ve left as dreams? Don’t let your dreams remain action-less. Put them into motion. Make those goals. Take the steps. #askmehow

Having leggings that fit well are key to me feeling good both in my workouts and out and about.  Graphic illustrations, quilting, mesh cut-outs, and distressed detailing are all features that add some more stylish elements to your workout wardrobe. My favorite trend are sheer panels. They turn heads and while the leggings keep me warm, they also keep me cool while getting my actual sweat on! What’s more motivating than looking good while feeling good?

Cut-outs:

Cut outs in my shirts add some flair and attraction to some of my favorite features- my shoulders and back. Paired with a colorful sports bra, these shirts are both beautiful and functional- allowing for warmth on the arms and torso and ventilation during workouts. These shirts have a bit of a flow to them, for ample movement, whether picking up my kids or a barbell. Feeling good never looked so good!

The perfect shoe:

My newest love is a cloud, more aptly known as The Reebok CloudRide DMX.  They have a unique, patented, moving air technology- the perfect pair to add to my other Reebok DMX shoes. These are a real treat to wear all day because of the lightweight, flexible sole. It’s made of encapsulated air that provides a literal cloud feeling- like my feet never touch the ground. Way more comfy than the typical sneaker, which is a foam, not air, sole. Nothing better than walking on a heavenly cloud, right? Best part? They come with a 30 day, money-back, guarantee!

I love the crisp white! It adds a perfect pop to any outfit, from spandex to denim, but I am definitely ordering a black pair for the Winter from Famous Footwear (you can get them in some local retailers- but call ahead!)

Glass:

Yes, your water vessel can be the perfect accessory for your outfit. Of course staying hydrated is important, for both beauty and function, but the right container can make all the difference.  I keep glass with me because of all the designs and styles they come in now. Sleeves and even the glass are colorful, and come in tons of geometric arrangements.

The different lids are perfect to customize to your activity, too. Around town? I prefer a straw for easy sipping. During a workout? Give me a flip lid and wide mouth- I need ALL the water. Grab that water, add some bright berries for antioxidants and color, match it up with your clean, glass, bottle, and give your body and beauty a boost!

Write it down:

My favorite accessory is always a good list. Without having my to-do list, or what I’ve dubbed my Daily Goals Chart, I would derail by 9am every single day. Writing down what’s what in my favorite planner is KEY to a successful day! I feel most put together when I am together, so whether you plan in an hourly schedule or by day, skip that weekly plan and get more focused. That laser vision will carry you through everything, from momming hard to torching calories!

What are your secrets to staying on track, comfortable and stylish in your active lifestyle?
