Whatever Makes You Feel Good, Do More of It: My Humans Being Activewear Review

Whatever makes you feel good, has a positive effect on the world, and clears your mental space, do it.

For me, sometimes that means getting outside, putting on something comfortable, and taking a walk without having a complicated plan. I have realised that looking after yourself does not always have to mean spending hours in a gym or following an intense workout routine. Sometimes, it can be as simple as walking, stretching, dancing around your room, taking the stairs or just finding ways to move your body that you genuinely enjoy.

There is something about walking in a park that I particularly enjoy. Being surrounded by trees, greenery, and fresh air gives me a chance to slow down and clear my head. It is exercise, but it does not always feel like exercise, and I think that is what makes it easier to keep doing.

The day these photos were taken, I went for a walk in the park wearing the 360 Performance Bodysuit from Humans Being. We had planned to spend more time taking photos, but, as usual, the weather had other plans. It started raining, so we eventually had to leave, but I was still glad we got outside.

The 360 Performance Bodysuit

The first thing I noticed about the bodysuit was how it looked on the body. It has that fitted, sculpted shape without feeling like I was wearing something overly complicated. The green colour also stood out beautifully against all the greenery around me.

Humans Being describes the 360 Performance Bodysuit as a lightweight unitard with a breathable mesh-back bra, light support, a second-skin feel, and a squat-proof design. It is designed to move with you, whether you are working out, running errands, or simply going about your day.

I found it comfortable enough for walking around the park, and I liked that I did not have to keep adjusting it while moving. The fit gives it a very put-together look, so it works as activewear but also feels like something you could style beyond a workout.

The bodysuit is currently listed at £68 and comes in sizes XS to XXL, with colour options including the green I am wearing and white.

You don't have to live in the gym to be active

I think a lot of us have fallen into the idea that getting fit has to look a certain way.

You need a gym membership. You need a complicated workout programme. You need to spend an hour lifting weights or running on a treadmill. You need to completely change your lifestyle overnight.

But movement can be much simpler than that.

A regular walk can be a good starting point. So can taking a longer route home, going for a walk during your lunch break, stretching in the morning, cycling, swimming, dancing, doing a few exercises at home or simply making an effort to spend less time sitting.

For me, walking is one of the easiest forms of movement to fit into everyday life. There is no equipment to set up and no particular skill required. You can simply put on a comfortable pair of shoes and go.

And there is the mental side of it too. Walking gives me time away from screens and everyday responsibilities. When I am surrounded by trees and open space, I feel more present and less caught up in everything that needs to be done.

A Little More About Humans Being

What made this collaboration particularly interesting to me is that Humans Being places a lot of emphasis on sustainability and transparency.

The brand says its garments are made using natural or recycled materials, including organic cotton and recycled fibres made from consumer waste. The brand also says its fabrics are dyed using low-impact dyes and that its products achieve OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification.

I also like the idea behind its approach to the end of a garment's life. Humans Being says that when one of its garments has reached the end of its useful life, customers can return it to the brand for recycling and receive money off their next purchase.

It is a small but important reminder that clothing does not necessarily have to be treated as disposable.

Alongside the bodysuit, I also received the Lounge Sweatshirt, which is made from 100% organic cotton. It has a relaxed fit, dropped shoulders and a soft feel, making it more of an everyday piece than traditional workout wear.

Finding your own version of fitness

I am learning that being active does not have to look impressive to be worthwhile.

Some days it might be a proper workout. Other days it might be a long walk through a park. Sometimes it might simply be stretching and getting out of the house instead of spending the whole day indoors.

The important thing is finding something that works for you and that you can actually enjoy doing.

On this particular day, the rain cut our park visit short, but I still got my walk, some fresh air and a few photographs that I really love. And honestly, that was enough.

If getting outside helps you feel better, go for the walk. If dancing around your bedroom makes you happy, dance. If you love the gym, go to the gym. There is no single way to take care of yourself.

For me, sometimes it is simply a walk in the park, comfortable activewear, and a little time to clear my head.
