Just back from a breathtaking trip to Loch Lomond, and I had the perfect companions for exploring its tranquil beauty: the Sweaty Betty Get Set 2-in-1 Multi-Train Shorts and their empowering "Wear the Damn Shorts" Campaign Polo. Let's dive into why these pieces have become my new go-to for active adventures and beyond.
Sweaty Betty: More Than Just Activewear
For those unfamiliar, Sweaty Betty is a leading global activewear and lifestyle brand for women. They champion the power of movement and empower women through fitness and beyond. What I love about Sweaty Betty is their commitment to creating high-performance clothing that doesn't compromise on style or comfort. They cater to all your gym and swim needs, offering a fantastic range including:
- Leggings: From their iconic Power Leggings to supportive running tights.
- Sports Bras: Offering various levels of support for every activity.
- Tops: From breathable tanks to cosy hoodies.
- Swimwear: Stylish and functional bikinis and one-pieces.
- Outerwear: Jackets and layers to keep you warm during outdoor workouts.
- Accessories: Including bags, socks, and headbands.
Their ethos shines through in their "Wear the Damn Shorts" campaign polo. It's more than just a top; it's a message: "Your body is uniquely yours, and it deserves love, respect, and care at every stage. You are more than a number on a scale or a reflection in the mirror, your worth is defined by your kindness, strength, and spirit. Celebrate yourself just as you are today." This powerful message truly resonates and makes wearing this polo feel like a statement of self-acceptance.
Sweaty Betty Get Set 2-in-1 Multi-Train Shorts: My Loch Lomond Companion
My main reason for wanting the 2-in-1 Multi-Train Shorts was the crucial need for phone storage while running. If you're like me, juggling your phone can be a real pain. These shorts have solved that problem perfectly.
Here's what I thought:
- Fit & Comfort: The fit is fantastic. The sweat-wicking inner short with 4-way stretch feels snug and supportive without any restriction. The loose outer layer provides great coverage and freedom of movement. The soft and comfy waistband is a definite plus, staying put without digging in.
- Material: The material is slightly thicker than I would ideally like for peak summer running, but it feels durable and high-quality, suggesting they'll hold up well to regular workouts.
- Pockets: The side slip pockets on the inner short are exactly what I needed for my phone. It stays secure and doesn't bounce around while I'm on the move.
- Style: I'm genuinely a fan of the Black Peony Print. It's much more interesting than plain black and adds a touch of personality to my workout gear. The outer short inseam of 6.5cm and inner short inseam of 10cm offer a flattering and practical length.
Key Features:
- 2-in-1 Design: Combines a supportive inner short with a loose outer layer.
- Sweat-Wicking Fabric: Keeps you dry and comfortable during workouts.
- 4-Way Stretch: Allows for a full range of motion.
- Secure Phone Pockets: Say goodbye to bouncing phones!
- Stylish Print: The Black Peony Print adds a fashionable touch.
Finding Joy in Movement: Exercise That Doesn't Feel Like a Chore
My trip to Loch Lomond perfectly highlighted how exercising doesn't always have to feel like a chore. Being surrounded by such breathtaking scenery naturally encourages movement. I found myself walking for hours, exploring hidden trails and soaking in the calm that the loch evokes. It was effortless and enjoyable, and before I knew it, I had burned a significant amount of calories.
Traveling has actually made exercising easy for me. From exploring new cities on foot to hiking through stunning landscapes, it's all about incorporating movement into my day without pressure.
Here are some other ways to exercise without making it a chore:
- Find activities you genuinely enjoy: Whether it's dancing, swimming, cycling, or even gardening, choose something you look forward to.
- Incorporate movement into your daily routine: Take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk or cycle for short errands,
- Make it social: Exercise with friends or family to stay motivated and make it more fun.
- Explore your surroundings: Discover local parks, trails, or scenic routes to make your workouts more engaging.
- Listen to music or podcasts: This can make the time fly by and keep you entertained.
- Set small, achievable goals: Celebrate your progress to stay motivated.
- Reward yourself: Treat yourself (in a healthy way) after reaching milestones.
During my explorations, especially on longer walks, I always make sure that I carry the essentials to refuel, like water and some healthy snacks. This keeps my energy levels up and prevents that dreaded post-activity slump.
Final Thoughts: Sweaty Betty & Embracing Movement
The Sweaty Betty Get Set 2-in-1 Multi-Train Shorts have become a fantastic addition to my activewear collection, especially for runs where I need secure phone storage. While the material is a tad thicker than my ultimate preference, the comfort, fit, and stylish print definitely win me over.
And the "Wear the Damn Shorts" Campaign Polo? It's a powerful reminder to embrace and celebrate our bodies, no matter what. Wearing it while exploring the serene beauty of Loch Lomond felt incredibly fitting.
Sweaty Betty continues to impress with their commitment to quality, functionality, and empowering messages. If you're looking for stylish and high-performing activewear that supports your active lifestyle, they are definitely worth checking out.
I don't remember wearing t-shirts for sport at school or on weekends, but tank tops later made perfect sense. They were breathable, absorbed sweat, modest for young women and could easily be made into uniform tops.
ReplyDeleteThat makes sense—tank tops really struck a balance between function and modesty, especially in active settings.
DeleteI love this cute set, Melody!! What an amazing message from this brand, I haven't heard of them up until this post, but will definitely check them out! I have been running more this year and training for a 5k (it was this past weekend), so I'm all about finding comfortable things to wear and especially stuff to keep me cool. I tend to get hot after the first mile or so! You also have such great tips for getting active, I find listening to podcasts while running or walking helps me a lot.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fantastic day! :)
Make Life Marvelous
Thank you—that means a lot. Congratulations on your 5K, that’s a big milestone. I completely agree—staying cool makes such a difference. Podcasts are a great way to keep your mind engaged while you move. Keep going, you’re doing wonderfully.
DeleteI like to walk and do yard work. And I love comfy workout clothes while doing both. I haven't heard of the swetty betty brand, but that workout outfit is cute.
ReplyDeleteWalking and yard work are such grounding ways to stay active, and comfortable clothes really do make all the difference. Sweaty Betty is definitely worth checking out if you like soft, breathable pieces—they blend style and function well.
DeleteStylish pics
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWe have to take care of our body, Melody. It's very important for our lives and our breathes. Your above clothing is very beautiful and useful. Your body and soul light is really amazing. Go on my dear friend.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right—caring for our bodies is essential to living fully and well. Thank you for your kind words; they mean a lot. Keep taking gentle care of yourself too.
DeleteI love your t-shirt :D :D :D I have a lot of t-shirts with a variety of sayings on them. :)
ReplyDeleteYour shorts are lovely, too. And the lanscapes :)
Thank you so much.
DeleteLovely outfit, Melody.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThank you.
DeleteIn my opinion, this set is great. Comfortable to wear with a wonderful message for women. Let's accept ourselves as we are. This is how God created us, Who does not want us to lower our self-esteem. Have a nice weekend 👍😊
ReplyDeleteThank you, and have a great weekend.
DeleteUnas prendas por lo que nos dices son muy cómodas y que facilitan llevar objetos como el teléfono móvil sin molestar perfecto.
ReplyDeleteLo de hacer ejercicio siempre dentro de lo que tu salud te permita es bueno. Yo tengo desgaste en cartílagos y ciertas rutas no puedo hacer, pero si dar paseos no muy prolongados. En una ocasión de regreso de uno de ellos me encontré con mi fisio, la dije que venía de mover la rodilla y me dijo que eso es bueno. En una ocasión en un viaje que tuve que alargar la distancia para el descanso al bajar del coche casi no podía caminar.
Saludos.
Thank you for sharing that—it’s clear you’re listening to your body and doing what you can within your limits, which is exactly the right approach. Short walks still count for so much, especially when done consistently. It’s encouraging to hear your physiotherapist supported your movement too. Keep honoring your pace—every step matters.
DeleteIt was a good spot to flash your spiffy duds.
ReplyDeleteLol, thank you
DeleteNot a brand I have heard off
ReplyDeleteOh, now you can check them out.
DeleteEstas muy guapa. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteLooks good to me.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteDear Melody, all outfits suit you perfectly!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteWow. I love the "Wear the Damn Shorts" statement. I have been packing for an upcoming trip and have been wondering if I should wear longer shorts or what and then I saw your post. I needed the reminder that my body deserves love and respect at every stage...and that I should just wear the damn shorts that I have! What a beautiful message of self acceptance. Also, how great the 2-in-1 Multi-Train Shorts can hold onto your phone. That is genius and would definitely make running a whole lot easier. I just love the black peony print as well. Stylish and functional is the best combination! Love the suggestions you shared for making exercise possible without it feeling like a chore to get through. Definitely putting these to the test!
ReplyDeletethe creation of beauty is art.
You are so right; your body deserves all the love. The print is cute and unique.
DeleteSuper bonita. Super elegante
ReplyDeleteCumprimentos
Thank you.
DeleteThat set is so cute! I'd never heard of Sweaty Betty, so thank you for the introduction! xxx
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome.
DeleteThat's a great brand for women, Melody. I agree with you on wearing high-quality clothes while we're involved in regular workouts.
ReplyDeleteAs you rightly mentioned, it's important to take the stairs instead of the elevator or the escalator. And when I go running or walking I always try to change my route. Rehydration Is also important.
Have a nice Sunday ☀
You got the whole point. Thank you for reading.
DeleteUm lugar maravilhoso que certamente nunca conhecerei. Parabéns à autora pela sua publicação.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço.
