The North Face Mountain Athletics + an awesome giveaway

This post brought to you by The North Face . Read on for the details + an awesome giveaway opportunity!

Hi friends! Hope your day is going well so far! As the season starts to get warmer, many of us will be taking our workouts outside. It’s a great way to get some fresh air, change up your scenery, and try something new. I find that my workouts change depending on the season, and during the spring and summer, I’m excited for the opportunity to get in some outdoor workouts.

Here are some of my tips for taking your workout outdoors:

1) Hydrate like crazy. If you’re not carrying a water bottle with you, be sure that you know where you can find hydration on the way. I personally don’t love running with a water bottle, so I’ll be sure to plan routes where I know water fountains are plentiful.

2) Bring your phone, an ID, and little bit of cash or a credit card. 

3) Let someone know where you’ll be. There are some great apps for runner safety, which will alert someone if you’re not back after a certain time and send them your location. 

4) Sun protection. SPF It up, and wear a hat to protect your face.

5) Wear light, breathable clothing that you can move in. 

When The North Face offered for me to check out some new pieces from their Mountain Athletic line line, I was really excited to check it out. The North Face specializes in outdoor athletic wear, and Mountain Athletics from The North Face is designed for the toughest outdoor environment, making it ideal for a variety of activities. While I’m not exactly scaling mountains in my current condition -or let’s be real, ever- I love to be outside in breathable technical material.

This gear utilizes exclusive active stretch fabric that provides durability, strength, and full range of motion during your workouts.  I ordered the Motivation 1/4 Zip and these MA-X shorts, which were perfect for exploring Sunset Cliffs.  Gina415 18 I wanted them both in neutral colors because I could tell that they’d be mix-and-match staples I’ll wear all summer long. The shorts and so light and breathable; I definitely want to get another pair.  Gina415 17

I had a little fun with color by choosing this Flow Tank, which is amazing for yoga.  Gina415 22 The body is super light mesh with back ventilation. The sports bra is provides just enough support for a yoga flow class or a beachside TRX workout.  Gina415 29 Gina415 30 Gina415 19 And now, the best part!

    Ooooh, I would love to win this giveaway. I need new yoga pants BAD. The elastic is worn out of mine. Also, a hoodie would be divine in a bright color.

    OMG. The WOMEN’S DYNAMIX HOODIE looks absolutely amazing. Thank you!

  11. Anna on April 28, 2015 at 5:24 am

    My favorite North Face product is my black vest. Living in Colorado, it gets used on a regular basis for hikes or just everyday wear.

  12. Monica on April 28, 2015 at 5:27 am

  14. Laura T. on April 28, 2015 at 5:29 am

    I love my one North Face jacket that I have. It’s hot pink with a grey fleece lining. It’s my favorite late winter/early spring jacket! Warm and fashionable! I would love more North Face pieces!

  15. Jenny McDaniel on April 28, 2015 at 5:30 am

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  16. Monica on April 28, 2015 at 5:31 am

    I usually head to The North Face in search of fleece, but that flow tank looks amazing!

  17. Sara S on April 28, 2015 at 5:33 am

    I love my North Face jacket for winter here. It is so warm without being bulky!

  22. Stephanie Kooistra on April 28, 2015 at 5:38 am

    I have a The North Face winter coat that I have had for about 15 years and it still looks new! I love it!!

  23. Jeanne on April 28, 2015 at 5:38 am

    You are a great model for North Face! I love the North Face fleece. Your ideas about what to take with you when exercising outside are very helpful. Are you aware of RoadID? They have attractive id bands for a reasonable cost. I was given one for a gift recently. Super thoughtful idea!

  24. Nikki on April 28, 2015 at 5:39 am

    I would love to try the dynamix leggings!

  25. Cassie S on April 28, 2015 at 5:41 am

    I would love to get the women’s dynamix legging along with the women’s pseudio moto jacket in purple.

  26. Catherine Cormier on April 28, 2015 at 5:44 am

    Absolutely love that tank that you picked!! Loved the front and then when you showed the back it took it over the top!!

  27. Nicole on April 28, 2015 at 5:46 am

    I love the flow tank! The back detail is so cute and functional!

  28. Stacey on April 28, 2015 at 5:48 am

    Both the shorts and shirt look great, I’m due with my first baby in August and definitely need some comfortable workout shorts for summer!

  29. Laura @ Vegetarianesque.com on April 28, 2015 at 5:48 am

    I “outgrew” some Northface pants after I had my son and sold them on eBay. When I shipped them off I got teary eyed thinking about how many wonderful hiking adventures I’d had in them!

  30. jessica on April 28, 2015 at 5:51 am

    I love the pieces you chose — the two neutrals are so easy to mix and match and the tank is so fun! What a great giveaway! I’d love to try some new northface goodies!

  31. Ariana V on April 28, 2015 at 5:53 am

    yay north face! i love working out outside!!

  32. Allison on April 28, 2015 at 5:57 am

    I’ve always loved North Face for their comfy and warm fleece jackets, but I’d love to try those shorts!

  33. Corinne on April 28, 2015 at 5:57 am

    I would love to have the flow tank!!

  34. Emily on April 28, 2015 at 5:58 am

    I love your outdoor workout tips!

  35. Amanda on April 28, 2015 at 5:58 am

    I bought my second North Face winter coat this year before my trip to Iceland in January. The only reason why I needed (aka wanted) a new coat was because I was looking for a longer version of the coat I already had, which has lasted me almost ten years!

  36. Meghan B. on April 28, 2015 at 5:58 am

    I love my North Face jacket and would love to try out more of their workout apparel!

  37. Hayley on April 28, 2015 at 6:00 am

    I have a north face jacket which I live in through winter. I also need some outdoor running tops that are comfy. I’m finding vests aren’t working…I need some sleeves!

  38. Elizabeth on April 28, 2015 at 6:02 am

    I just bought my first North Face jacket this past fall before my trip to Banff. Before that, I always thought they were just super trendy, but I’m now a believer! My jacket is so well made, and has so many cool features. It also got me through the brutal New England winter! I’d love to add more pieces to my workout wardrobe!

  39. Erin on April 28, 2015 at 6:09 am

    I love their toddler jackets. Warm and not too puffy for the car seat!

  40. Autumn S. on April 28, 2015 at 6:09 am

    I LOVE the tank you choose. I recently got hooked on Barre classes and would LOVE to purchase some new workout gear.

  41. Kyra on April 28, 2015 at 6:10 am

    I like in my ankle length north face coat to survive winters in Michigan! Would love some spring/summer pieces from them though.

  42. Lizzi on April 28, 2015 at 6:10 am

    I would love to try out the Flow Tank. I like that the opening doesn’t show too much skin.

  43. Jenni on April 28, 2015 at 6:11 am

    Everything looks so comfy!

  44. Heather F on April 28, 2015 at 6:14 am

    What a fun colored tank!

  45. Kristin on April 28, 2015 at 6:14 am

    I’ve completed many marathons and have always run in North Face. What’s so great about their product is that the pieces transform really well from training pieces to every day, errand-running outfits.

  46. James on April 28, 2015 at 6:15 am

    Definitely the awesome range of jackets

  47. Lisa on April 28, 2015 at 6:20 am

    I’ve never tried North Face workout gear! Looks awesome!

  48. Tana Catanese on April 28, 2015 at 6:20 am

    All of my coats and fleece zip-ups are The North Face brand. I work in downtown Cleveland which means I park and walk to work so doubling up on the fleece and coat keeps me super warm. Gotta love TNF!

  49. Kelsey on April 28, 2015 at 6:20 am

    Oh man – I love the North Face grow with me coats for my toddler, and I still rock my fleece from my college days. I’d love to get some of their workout gear – I love the plyo crew for layering.

  50. Gabbie on April 28, 2015 at 6:22 am

    I’ve always been a huge fan of their jackets!
