The good folks at Fila were kind enough to send me a pair of the new toning resistance long tights to try out and that’s exactly what I did. I wore them during a strength training workout and on a 3 mile run. Here are the Top 5 reasons why I didn’t want to take them off like them and want to give you some, too.
1. They look FABULOUS on. Sure that’s superficial but when I look good, I feel good and enjoy working out more. Yes y’all they hide the flaws. Some tights show the not so flattering side of my thighs and butt, ahem, but I could run to Target to do a little shopping in these tights and turn a few heads.
2. They FEEL good. When I pulled them out the package I thought I would never be able to pull them up, but I did and they felt comfortable. They hugged my body but didn’t give me that squeezed-to-tight feeling; and I love that they come high enough that I don’t have spillage at my waist. Very important, folks.
3. They keep me WARM. I hate to be cold. Hate it. I know I live in Hotlanta but those early morning runs in the winter time can be chilly. These tights were thick enough for my winter workouts.
4. Husband paid me a COMPLIMENT. He noticed my new look and happily volunteered to take this picture for my post.
5. They were LONG enough. At 5’11 finding tights and pants that are long enough for me can be challenging. I didn’t feel like I was wearing high-waters. They fit comfortably and had no slippage. Slippage sucks.
Would you like a pair? I have TWO to send to two lucky winners. Here’s the skinny – no pun intended – on how to enter.
Subscribe/Follow my blog; and/or Like my Run Wifey Run Facebook page. You need to do at least one and leave me a comment letting me know so I can count you in. If you do both you’ve got two entries.
Want another shot? Like Fila Body Toning on Facebook and tell me in a comment.
More?
If you tweet, Facebook or blog about it and let me know in the comments they’ll each earn you one more entry.
Easy, right? The contest starts now and will end next Tuesday, December 7, 2010, at 11:59 p.m. EST. US residents only, please.
Good luck! You and your booty will love them.
Winks & Smiles,
Disclaimer: Fila provided me with a pair of tights and two to giveaway. I was not paid for this post. As always, my thoughts and opinions are all my own.

Please count me in. I love the idea of those Toning pants. I believe the workout outfit and how cute it is, is JUST as important as the workout itself. I know, working out is really the point, but I believe in coordinated cute workout clothes. I'm also looking for longer pants to keep me warm as I run a 5k in Dec. Any tips on keeping warm, while running in the cold would be great. I live up North–in VA.

I just started following your blog! I think I found you through the ATC runner's blog or ATC facebook page? I can't remember. I'm always looking for new running blogs to follow! I'm also from Atlanta, and I just ran the Thanksgiving half too (my first!).

Those magical pants sound like just what I need as I get back into running. I just had my first baby five weeks ago and have been chomping at the bit to start running again. The pants sound like they would be a great confidence booster for me because let's face what women post-baby doesn't want something to hold everything together and make her rear look fabulous?!
