Our overall verdict
"Good"
So recently I tried out the Skins range for women. Skins is a range of compression training wear originally meant for professional sports men/women but amateur sportsmen can benefit from this functional training gear. Just briefly how Skins work for you during a workout;
You choose your Skins according to the size table (according to your BMI) to find the perfect size for you to reap maximum benefit out of your second skin. Skins fit very snugly to provide the correct level of surface pressure to specific parts of the body. Circulation is improved and therefore more vital oxygen gets to your working muscles giving you that extra power speed and stamina. With better circulation you generally eliminate lactic acid build up and other metabolic wastes quicker during workouts. With other words you can train for longer and recover a bit faster. Scientifically proven technology nogals!
I must say on first sight you think; “How can something this pretty be so clever right?” let me tell you don’t be deceived by this slick little black and pink number!
Obviously Skins are made to fit quite tight and when I tried them on they really did put “all my junk in the trunk” my bum seriously never have looked quite so tight even if I have to say so myself – as in seriously NO BOUNCE. I felt really pretty and comfy in them and looks wise they score quite high on my list. On the run they managed to keep me cool and dry and in the cold mornings kept me warm.
On the left the short sleeve short pants and on the right the long sleeve full length pants. Both super comfy #fitness #selfie
I have always struggled a bit with shin splints and they kept the calve muscle compact and close to the shin which reduced the pulling, alleviating the symptoms that never quite go away completely. This I must say, was what I loved the most about them.
Skins from the back. Great design slick and fits event though I am over six foot tall its not too short (for a change) #winning :)
With summer around the corner also nice to know that these outfits are all 50+ UV protection so no more ski-pant-tan for moa!
As mentioned before they are gorgeous and I definitely think as an all-rounder this gear is tops! I would have loved to see more variation for all days of the week but I am sure this will come soon. I am seriously in love with this brand!
Nice packaging your skins comes in its own little box love it

About the Author
Yes I am THAT girl that hopped around on an island in Panama on the first season of survivor South Africa (my claim to fame). Thank goodness I had a modeling career to fall back on because I was left starving and I didn't win the million bucks!
I am anything but ordinary and I have learned to be ok with it. What drives me is the stuff that I love doing, spending time with good friends, learning from extraordinary people, drinking wine, writing, (did I mention drinking delicious wine?) I love traveling, nature, animals, exercise helping others to achieve their goals gives me a kick, I thoroughly enjoy music that moves me and love looking at and taking pictures that speak to me. I stay slim by following a healthy diet of wine and carrying my massive baby around (not sure how he got that big but he is huge, and very cute) - He is my absolute pinnacle out of everything I have done right so far. (I actually have some real weight loss secrets on The Jog Blog) I also run with my two Jack Russell's Jesse and James, James is really, lets call it, "big boned", so I wouldn't say we run marathons but we at least enjoy it thoroughly. Like all South African's I also love the odd South African Braai and grew up barefoot playing on dirt roads.
The biggest goal in my life is to enjoy and savor every moment, to be mindful of each and every person and situation in my life and to be the master of my own mind.
What do I do for a living? I have a bit of digital savvy, write a lot, manage projects and initiatives that help promote brands digitally and love a challenge. I am an avid entrepreneur Sport and Sports-development is close to my heart.
I also proudly endorse Futurelife, Garmin, Adidas Eyewear and Cipla Nutrition.
I help where I can do the best with what I have and give it my 110% I am the Glass-Half-Full girl and thank you for supporting The Jog Blog.
