Another Marika Fitness - Review and Giveaway!!!


It's time for another fabulous Marika Fitness Giveaway!!!
I have been partnering with them for several months now to bring you some incredible products.  I love being a Marika Ambassador and I have loved every piece of clothing they have ever sent me.  (There are tons of pictures below of me wearing Marika gear) They are quality made and affordable.  I also love that they make clothing for women of all sizes.  (You can also see my change in size in the photos below) I know I work out harder when I feel like I look cute. Marika makes that a possibility for me every day.  

In this giveaway, you will have the chance to win this Marika - Keyhole Sports Bra - It has a keyhole opening in the back, a coolmax dry wik mesh back panel (making it extra breathable) and has a slight uplift as well as shape smoothing molded cups.

You will also win this Balance- Core Yoga Mat.  It has a 5mm thick cushioned support and is phthalate and latex free. 

 It also comes with a handy carrying strap.  You can just throw it over your shoulder and go


I love the beautiful om symbol in the corner.



Here I am post workout,  sporting my Marika Magic Uplift Sport Bra in Space Odyssey Print

 I love this Balance Deep Blue Tie Dye Hoodie.  In fact, I'm pretty sure my husband is ready to see me in something else.  This top has pretty much become my weekend uniform.  It is form flattering and casual, yet cute enough to wear with a pair of jeans.  I would have never thought tie dye was my style but once I put it on, I didn't want to take it off.  

 Here I am crossing the finish line with a new 5k PR - I am wearing my Sanded Dry Wik Capri Leggings.  It probably doesn't even look like I am wearing capris because of the tall socks, but I am.  They are a perfect fit.  I don't have to worry about them slipping down during my races.  That is always a huge pet peeve of mine. Under the neon top I am wearing the Marika Magic Angel Fall Criss Cross Uplift Sports Bra.  Another comfortable, supportive and stylish sports bra.

Here I am wearing the Marika Tek - Poly Long Sleeve Hoodie.  In my opinion, a girl can never have too many hoodies, pink things, or shirts with thumb holes.  This top is all of those things. Not to mention it is also Dry Wik material.  That always comes in handy for a sweaty Betty like me.

Another race picture, wearing my Sanded Dry Wik Capri Leggings and some more tall socks.  

 Another post workout photo and I am wearing the Marika Miracles Uplift Sport Bra in Pink - This is my absolute favorite bra.  It gives awesome support during high intensity workouts.  Also, it is adjustable on the sides.  This is perfect because as I get smaller, I am able to take my bra along with me.  


 Here I am doing a 175 lb. deadlift in my Sanded Dry Wik Capri Leggings.

 In this photo I am wearing several pieces of Marika clothing.  I am wearing the Marika Magic Uplift Sport Bra in Space Odyssey Print as well as the Marika Tek Racerback Loose Fitted Tank Tee.  I am also wearing a pair of their pants that you cannot see in the photo.  Head to toe is stylish Marika gear.

 In the photos above and below I am wearing the Marika Magic Fit Expert Tummy Control Long Length Pants again.  They have been my absolute favorite because of their nice long length.  I normally have to wear crop or capri length because I am 5' 10" and pants are never long enough for me.  Sadly, I had to retire these pants as they got a hole in the least desirable spot.  This had nothing to do with the quality of the pants and everything to do with the fact that I practically lived in them.  They were like a second skin to me.  RIP beautiful comfy pants.


Here I am practicing yoga in the Marika Magic Fit Expert Tummy Control Long Length Pants - See, I told you they were my favorites :)

 Here is a photo of me doing a weighted sandbag run in my Sanded Dry Wik Capri Leggings.  I wear and wash these nearly every day now and they still look like the day that I got them.  I am proud to say that this is the most recent picture out of all of these.  The smaller I get, the cuter I feel in my workout clothes.  Thanks Marika for being there through all of my sizes.


I just wanted to show you that I am not just blowing smoke and hosting a random giveaway each month.  These are products that I love and that I stand behind.  I workout 5-6 days a week and having comfortable, supportive athletic apparel is essential.  As you can tell by the photos, I do a variety of activities and Marika is there for all of them.  I love this company and I love their products.

NOW... HERE IS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO OWN SOME AWESOME MARIKA FITNESS GEAR AS WELL.
