Fitness Fun with Ellie Activewear in Colorado and California

June 27, 2013 By Christina ChitwoodBook/Product Reviews, Giveaways

Fitness Fun with Ellie Activewear in Colorado and CaliforniaI loved receiving Ellie clothes from the Cosmic Love Collection and Coral Crush Collection! This post is especially exciting because it’s a review, a giveaway, and the announcement that I’m going to be an aunt to my brother and sister-in-law’s baby girl! I’m so thrilled that I’m going to have two nieces by the end of the year! (Tom’s sister and her husband are expecting their baby girl this week! Yay!)

This post is also special because it shows women at different stages of life. I’m representing a woman in her 20s, Chea a woman in her 30s and mother-to-be, and my mom a woman in her 50s and a grandmother-to-be. It’s fabulous that Ellie clothes suit all stages of life and various body types!

Disclosure: Even though I received clothes from Ellie, my opinions are honest and my own. This post also contains an affiliate link at no cost to you.

Update: The giveaway is now closed. Click on the Ellie ad below to receive 20% off Ellie! You’ll find the announcement of the winner of the giveaway at the bottom of the post right below the Rafflecopter form.

Our Photo Shoots at Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, and at a Playground in San Diego

It was fun wearing my Ellie clothes at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. I had the opportunity to visit Colorado Springs where I grew up since one of my best friends was getting married and I was in the bridal party. Garden of the Gods is such a beautiful place, and I never get tired of visiting it!

From Ellie’s Cosmic Love and Coral Crush Collections, I am modeling the Wish Upon a Star Tank and Double Decker Capri. The blue tank is such a beautiful color. I’m absolutely loving this color right now! This simple, but adorable, tank is such fun to wear! It’s great for workouts, but I also feel it’s a great tank for summer in general. I’ve already had a compliment on it at the gym.

The gray capris are very versatile. The waistband can be turned over so that the whole capri is either gray or has a coral waistband. These capris are possibly the comfiest yet while still feeling very supportive for working out. The fabric is smooth and soft and feels like it’s a very good quality.

From Ellie’s Coral Crush and Cosmic Love Collections, my mom is modeling the Dynamic Duo Top, Solar Flare Legging, It Takes Two Top, and Little Black Legging. The tops are so pretty with the coral color. The designs are very different with the layering. Both tops would work well for working out or for a fun, casual summer top. They’re lightweight. I especially love the cutout on the sides of the Dynamic Duo Top.

The leggings are comfortable and work with any outfit.They are two classic designs, a traditional black legging and black flare pant. These leggings are flattering and great for all ages of women. The Solar Flare Leggings run on the longer side. I think they’re perfect for about 5’6″-5’8″ (I’m 5’8″) or if you have long legs. Chea at 5’3″ and my mom at 5’4″ would prefer theirs shortened.

From Ellie’s Love, Ellie Collection, Chea is modeling Call Me Coy Top, Under Your Spell Sports Bra, and Heartbreaker Capris. The top is a cute design and flattering for all body types. It’s great that this top works even with Chea being 5 months pregnant! The fun sports bra looks great worn underneath the top to add a little bit of color where you can see the straps. It’s lightweight and breathable, which is what you want for the warm weather or when you’re working out hard (or if you’re pregnant and hot all the time)!

The Heartbreaker Capris are a good length for any height but especially work well for shorter to average height, since they are a shorter capri design. They are a comfortable fabric. For early on the pregnancy, they are super comfortable. At the halfway point in Chea’s pregnancy, the waistband feels a little tight. Chea says the Ellie clothes are great for pregnancy, because they are comfortable and flexible. She also says they inspire you to work out because you feel so good in them.

    HI all,,,,
    Hope you all are having a good time !

    People tend to go one of two ways…

    a) Exercising? Me? Now I’m pregnant? You’ve got to be kidding – this is the one time in my life I get to eat as much as I like and not worry about what I look like! Or

    b) There’s no way I’m going to put on loads of weight and resemble a beached whale, besides, I’ve got a friend’s wedding to go to three weeks after I’m due and I want to be back to a size ten.

    Now, there’s nothing wrong with either of these statements, but what I would say is that surely, there’s room for a little something in-between.

    Actually when I was pregnant , I was also confused to go for exercise or not. Then my midwife told me that it is beneficial to do exercise for both would be mother and her baby.
    My midwife showed me plenty of good reasons to exercise whilst pregnant and I’m going to tell you what they are:

    1. Meeting new mums in your area in the same boat as you
    2.Faster recovery post-baby
    3.Arms you with more stamina for the labour room (and you’re going to need it!)
    4.Up to 40% fewer incidences of lower back pain and pelvic discomfort
    5.Keeps muscles and joints mobile
    6.Results in a more positive and healthier you
    7.Gives you back a sense of control over your body
    8.Reduces the risk of excess weight gain
    9.Helps create an easier, shorter labour
    10.Helps to relax the body and the mind
    11.Keeps your cortisol (stress hormones) levels down
    12.Helps you experience less sleep related problems
    13.Regulates core body temperature
    14.Better circulation helping you to avoid the common complaints of cramps, piles, constipation and swelling
    15.Helps beat depression

    Still not convinced? Research says that your baby will benefit too:
    a.With a higher IQ and a leaner body
    b.A more relaxed outlook
    I hope this article will be informative to you all.

    Thanks in advance :00
