Working on My Fitness with Target® C9

January 26, 2015 21 Comments


As you guys know, I’ve been working on cleaning up my eats in 2015. Originally I was also planning on starting the year off strong with workouts, but my tailbone injury in December put a serious damper on that. For over a month now sitting, standing, and laying down has been a difficult process. I decided the best thing I could do was focus on healing and I’ve done absolutely zero exercising of any kind.

While at first I was really disappointed by this, I quickly realized I was the best thing I could do for my body. My body needed to rest and rest is exactly what I did. Now, a little over a month later, I’m finally starting to feel better. I still have a little soreness, but nothing like I used to. I’m feeling well enough to start bringing some movement back into my life.

A return to exercise after an injury is a cause for celebration. And for me, celebrations = shopping! Target® provided me with a gift card to purchase some new workout clothes from their C9 Collection. I have heard amazing things about this collection but have never tried it out myself. I was excited to finally do so!

I was immediately drawn to the look and feel of the C9 Premium Collection. Everything was so cute and the quality felt great. It was also less than half the cost of some of my usual workout gear.

After browsing for a while I ended up selecting the C9 by Champion® Women’s Premium Capri Legging, the C9 by Champion® Women’s Seamless Tee, and the C9 by Champion® Women’s Seamless Racerback Sports Bra.

I went out of my comfort zone by getting a colored pair of workout pants but toned it down with a neutral top. I’m usually all about the loud prints on top and black basics on the bottom. I thought this was a fun twist to start off a new year of workouts in a fun way. 🙂

I loved how the outfit looked together, and how the fabric felt on my skin. Best of all, the clothes performed great as I did my first workout in a long time: Pilates! There was no riding up, pulling down, or chafing of any kind. That’s a workout apparel line I can get behind! (And feel cute in while I try and make my behind look better! Haha)

    Target is the best! I love how affordable they make everything! And I’m with you – I usually do a really plain pant, but I’m thinking I need to get more adventurous 🙂

    I injured my tailbone a few weeks ago and I am still feeling it- so I know exactly how you feel with not being able to move around much without discomfort. At least those Target workout clothes make up for it! Love the bottoms- I am trying to branch out into more fun bottoms too!

    I love C9 by Champion!! Where I live, there aren’t a lot of places that sell athletic apparel for women. Target has the biggest selection in town!

    When you get back to full motion we have to do the Sunday Zumba at Prairie Life. I did it this week and Dillon is amazing!

    My brother got me a half zip pullover from the collection for Christmas and I LOVE it. Although I must confess I haven’t actually worn it for a workout yet! 😀

    Hi Erin, you look good on your outfit. The proper workout clothes are really important. But in my case, I am not really fond of brands. Well, my girlfriend does the shopping for me. For as long as I have bright workout clothes, it’s fine with me. I have read in an article that bright workout clothes bring motivation and I must say that it is. Thanks, Steve
