Aspaeris sent me some AWESOME COMPRESSION SHORTS that I am absolutely stoked about! PS can you spy how many boxes of cereal we have on our counter…….all of them are used for my usual cereal suicide.
They are crazy comfortable and I have been wearing them all the time! The shorts have bands woven into the fabric to signal that your body should be in the correct ‘knees over toes’ position which can help your performance and help prevent injuries!
I wear them while running (yes, I start every run in that position and people think I look really cool or that I forgot I am not on a track about to race the 400m).
Don’t ask what is on my leg, because I really don’t know but I am guessing it is syrup or something like that.
I wear them biking…….they make me feel like a speedy bullet.
And obviously to recover….still don’t know what that is on my leg but now that I think about it, it is probably soy sauce. Added bonus: they are ultra sexy.
From their website:
“We created the Aspaeris™ brand to help protect female athletes from injury and enhance their performance with an advanced line of compression apparel. As a female-centric company, we believe that the performance demands young women are making on their bodies at an early age are unique. Our goal is to seek a deep understanding of those unique demands and create products that specifically elevate her performance while helping protect her from non-impact injuries.”
SOUNDS GOOD TO ME!!!

I would LOVE to have a pair of these compression shorts! I would use them for running and also for a weight lifting class I go to at our gym – I’m always a little worried that I’m going to end up hurting myself doing squats & lunges and these would be PERFECT for keeping me in line and injury free. :)

Carla @ I Run, You Run
I rarely participate of giveaways, but I could use these shorts and now with my housewife status I don’t have $60 to spend. So I have liked them on Facebook and you better pick me!
(And looks like that mark on your leg is from your bike chain. I tend to be the clumsy one that gets that on my leg all the time now… Have I mentioned I miss my bike, that is now stored in DC while we live in the Philippines for 2 years? I should’ve brought it here…)

Are these better for when you bike? I seem to always get burns on my thighs whenever I do the stationary bike and would love to figure out how to prevent that! Are they just like really tight athletic shorts? I’m not one to be up on whats what in the gear department (still use a kids watch to time my runs haha).
Also, I am very jealous of how you take pictures of everything. I always forget, or somehow it just seems too awkward (I should probably start getting over that because it makes everything look so much better!). Because I started reading your blog late, I have started from the beginning for entertainment purposes. Its like reading a really fun novel about food (and running I guess too).

I’d definitely use these compression shorts to wear under my Muay Thai boxing shorts. We do a lot of pivot movements when we kick, and I think these would be really helpful to me!
Katy
I followed Aspaeris on Facebook! I would use the compression shorts for running, they look great!
Tanya
I am following them on Twitter. I would use these under my running skirts that don’t have the built in shorts. But if they felt better for recovery, I may have to use them for that instead.
EmiLee Carter
oh for the love… Compression shorts, me gusta! They have my following on FB : )
Is there a better running wardrobe staple? I mean seriously!
They are also so fashionable! They could be worn to say… Yogurtland! (or Juicy berry because that’s up here in Salt Lake but I would drive to Orem so we could be twinners haha)
