I have to workout to music.  I have actually gone into the gym and realized I didn’t have my iPod with me and turned right around again.  It’s the same with running.  I NEED my tunes!  Music makes me run faster and harder and go stronger. 

But, I am getting really sick of my playlists and that is where you come in.  GGS wants to put you to work and tell us your top workout songs to win…wait for it…….yes – an iPod Nano.

Once the contest is over, we are going to put together the top 100 workout songs of all time.  How cool is that?

We always love to stumble upon companies making super cute and functional workout wear. So we were thrilled when MPG Mondetta Performace Gear contacted the GGS Crew for a review + GIVEAWAY!

It took me a long time to decide what exactly I wanted to review from their site as everything is just so darn cute. I finally settled with the Trek Jacket  and the Myriad Tank.

Trek Jacket  

 

Cozy microfleece jacket with a flattering fit, off-center front zipper design and reflective safety details.

• Fabric: 90% polyester, 10% spandex Windtex performance fleece, 320 gsm
• Trim: 88% polyester, 12% spandex jersey, 295 gsm
• Two-way stretch, moisture wicking, quick dry
• Breathable mesh insert details
• Multiple front pockets
• Fitted silhouette, longer back for best coverage
• High visibility reflective taping on sleeves and back hips

RECOMMENDED FOR: Layering, outdoor workouts, night running, warm ups

I love the Indigo color of this jacket.  The detail is great, with many pockets for all of your belongings and has the finger holes to keep your hands warm.  It is super cozy for winter running and has the breathable material so you don’t overheat.  The zipper is really unique as it is slightly off to the side, which is a nice touch.  Super slimming silhouette design and a little longer than the usual hoodie, which I am a huge fan of.  I also love this hoodie for having no hood, who uses those anyway?  Five out of five for the Trek!

Myriad Tank

 

Look fabulous during your yoga class in this ‘Baby Zebra’ overlay tank.

• Fabric: 84% Tactel nylon, 16% spandex, 155gsm
• Lightweight, cooling, moisture wicking, four way stretch, quick drying
• Overlay fabric – Zebra Jacquard Pique: 94% polyester 6% spandex 180 gsm
• Front overlay breathable pique fabric
• Bubble design effect on bottom hem
• Ergonomic back panel in solid jersey
• High visibility logo

RECOMMENDED FOR: Layering, light workouts, yoga, leisure, casual dress

This top is not like any other workout top that I have.  Its hard to tell by the picture but the front actually has two layers, which is great for sweating.  The elastic at the bottom is really great to keep the top in place.  The only flaw about this tank is the loose scoop neckline.  When bending over, your whole sports bra shows.
