I’m going to start off with saying that I love the workout shorts and performance tank from Alo that I got to do a review on.
I apologize about the quality of the pic here (clearer more vibrant ones follow) but it was 4:45 a.m. and for the life of me I couldn’t get a good full length pic of myself.
I want to thank Christin Bridge of AloSport.com for the opportunity to review the sportswear from the Spring 2011 Collection.
It was a pleasure to experience excellently constructed attire and as an eco-friendly freak the green aspects of the company ROCK!

You’ll love the press pictures Alo has on their site.
You’ll see they’ve been in countless fitness, yoga, health, women’s magazines…gracing the covers and features!
I feel real cool now, seeing Kris Jenner (yep, mom to the Kardashians) taking a walk wearing Alo attire!
Does that mean I’ve made it to the big league now?
If so, great because I’ve got a rocking workout outfit now that’ll hit the ball outta the park!
I normally just throw on a pair of shorts and hit the sidewalks running. That’s changed now!
The black workout shorts I received are awesome.
The best part, they wisk the sweat moisture away!
That’s a huge plus when you sweat as much as I do.
These shorts were soft and comfortable during my run.
I actually want to run more now!
I also wore these during my yoga sessions as well and they move with me.
I love the fact that they’re fitted in the hips and thighs.
These are some serious workout shorts for all types of activities…from yoga, biking, cardio, plyo to running.
I think any other shorts will pale in comparison after having worn these!
The performance top was amazing.
First off I have to mention that finding tops to fit my girls is often near impossible (so to those who envy others who have big breasts…DON’T!).
I love the color combination of this tank top…bright, vibrant, alive and full of energy!
The fit, was perfect.
There was more than ample support, even while running.
During downward dog, I didn’t have to worry about any shifting or moving around (often happens with cheap, less supportive tank tops).
Added bonus, this top is so pretty that I can wear it even when I’m not working out!
I also want to touch on the green factor of Alo.
Those who know me know that I’m a green eco lovin type and love sharing companies and products that are truly environmentally friendly.
Alo uses sustainable fabrics as well as utilizing green practices…
they have installed solar power in their corporate office, they use recycled office supplies, they have a paperless warehouse, they carpool.
They also recycle the majority of the excess fabric, saving over 20,000 pounds of scrap fabric from ever hitting the landfill every month!
Can you fathom how much that saves?!
Additionally, you can read their blog about how they gave back on earth day and more about their green headquarters as well.
All in all, I’m beyond thrilled with the opportunity to share AloSport.com with you. They truly have outstanding, contemporary, fashionable, comfortable sports wear and athletic wear and are innovative with their dedication to being an eco-friendly green defined company.

Michelle @ The Running Jewess says
Wait, are you telling me you wore the tank without a sports bra and it supported you? I don’t know if I can believe that. I’m a fellow large chested gal and I’ve never found a top that can contain me on its own (seriously people, don’t be jealous). But I’ll admit, it is gorgeous. I love that color and it is quite flattering on you.
Tara Burner says
Thanks Michelle and yep the girls were contained…and in yoga sometimes with other tanks I was always worried about that especially in downward dog! not relaxing when you’re wondering if things are goin to move around! LOL Now mind you I only did slow jog, perhaps tomorrow I’ll do a full blown RUN and see how well it does w/support and give you a heads up on that…and yea I long for the day I can reduce to oh say a C rather than borderline DD
Athena says
OMG, i always have to wear a regular bra, a sports bra and a tight tank under a shirt, that is to many pieces of clothing! LOL i will have to definitely try them out, thanks Tara for advising me of this C.O.! Awesome! ๐
Athena says
By the way you look great, keep it up! Smooches!

This is a smart blog. I mean it. You have so much knowledge about this issue, and so much passion. You also know how to make people rally behind it, obviously from the responses. Youve got a design here thats not too flashy, but makes a statement as big as what youre saying. Great job, indeed.
