ACTA: Athletic Wear With Purpose
As I was looking at content on Instagram, I came across an ACTA IG stories post. I loved the color story for each outfit. Check! I saw their inclusiveness with models and their different body types. Check! I saw diversity of race with the models. Check! It definitely got my attention to look on their website. Once I started looking at the athletic wear I noticed four different causes on every product page. Meaning, from the item you choose to purchase you can choose a cause that money from your purchase will go to!

I really appreciated the fact that 5% of all net profits go to Charity: Water, Action Against Hunger, ADAA (Anxiety and Depression Association of America), and Operation Underground Railroad. Like I said in my last post, there are so many brands to choose from and I feel like now it is getting harder for brands to set themselves apart from their competition. I also think customers are ready to purchase from a brand that is choosing to give back to charities that need help.

ACTA’s mission is to help athletes pursue their best in and out of the gym through sport and charity. To me, that is something I really connect with. I believe it is important to move your body and be active, not just with a focus of getting in shape, but getting your negative energy out in a positive way. Releasing endorphins in your system to get you motivated and help to get into a positive mindset for the day. Go out for a walk or a run, look on YouTube for some yoga or workouts using only your bodyweight. Just because the gym is closed doesn’t give you an excuse to not move your body. Move your body to make your mind feel better, even if it’s only for 20 minutes a day. Working out and taking care of my body and mind is the most important part of my morning routine. Do what will work best for you!

Workout Routine: My workout routine consists of short distance running and yoga/Pilates.
Items Purchased: Inlux Balance Bra (Color: Sage, Size: Small), Cross Back Tee (Color: Grey, Size: Small), and the Inlux Legging (Color: Sage, Size: Small)
Review of my purchase
Legging: When I first tried on the leggings I thought they were extremely soft and lightweight. They have good stretch to them and didn’t show through when I did the squat test. When I ran they felt amazing and super breathable, perfect for running in hot weather.
Sport Bra: The sport bra was just as soft. I wear a size 32DD bra and wear a size small in sport bra. The bra rode up a little bit while running but stayed in place when I was doing yoga.
Cross Back Tee: The perfect layer for when it gets a little cooler out since the material is slightly thicker. When it was a 65-degree morning I wore it while running and it wasn’t too hot. It was still breathable since it has a split back.
