Aside from being a blogger for Women’s Health magazine this year which in and of itself is incredibly exciting, I also get to try out some great gear and report back to you guys. Recently, I was able to try out the new Heidi Klum for New Balance sport performance line. Aside from being excited to have a matching workout set, I was curious to see how it performed and I’ll say it definitely didn’t disappoint!
I had received the top and the leggings on the same day and had planned on wearing them for Coach Kozak and I’s second workout video together, the 15 Minute Hurrican Cardio Routine. When I opened the package, I knew that this outfit was going to perform beautifully. The material is so light weight and feels amazing against your skin. The pant and skirt combo, while I was a bit hesistant on the style is super cute on. It’s made of Nylon and Elastane while the skirt is Polyester and Elastane. The skirt is sewn on and cannot be removed but that’ ok, why would you, it’s so cute!
The top is now officially my favorite workout top for a few different reasons. First because I love the color. Second, because it is comfortable and keeps me dry during my sweaty workouts and third and most importantly, because it’s tight where it should be, let me explain. As a woman, one of the things that kept me away from longer tops like these is because of the lower belly area. They had the tendency to hug and accentuate that area and not in a flattering way, let’s face it, we’re not all size zeros with 5% body fat. What I love about the HKNB shirt is that it’s comfortably snug in the bust area but is looser and a little more flowy as it moves down your body. It allows you to perform your workouts without worrying about material getting in the way but doesn’t make you feel self conscious about wearing it. WIN!
So, a few days after my rockin’ outfit came in, my shoes finally arrived!
Not only did they arrive but they arrived on shoot day, how perfect was that?! I’ll be honest, I’m not one to step out of the style box when it comes to workout clothes but with the outfit all together, it just works.
The weight of the shoe, flexibilty and the support just made them so easy to wear during my workout movements. Best of all, these shoes go from workout to daily wear with ease. I’ve already paired them with jeans a few times.
I love everything about this gear!
I then went on to do the crazy cardio workout with Coach Kozak and other than the discomfort from all of my muscles burning, the Heidi Klum for New Balance gear kept me dry and beyond comfortable.
Also, it’s great to mix and max the top and bottom with other tops and bottoms that you may already have especially if you enjoy working out. It’s nice to invest in gear that’s comfortable but that’s also well made and going to last. Care and cleaning is a cinch also, no going out of your way to hang dry or hand wash.
Overall the style, performance, and comfort that Heidi Klum and New Balance bring you is second to none. It’s bright and fresh and when you feel good about what you’re wearing, for some reason you just may push it a little bit faster on that next run or a little bit harder on that strength session. I know I did.
