This past week reinforced the idea that even if things go awry, if you focus on your eating, you’ll be fine. I spent two days sick in bed only to get better and one day later head to the ER when knife met broccoli met finger. Four stitches later I was back home, but now thwarted from doing the High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workouts I needed to do in preparation to film.
Despite all of this, I still lost another 1/2 pound and 5/8″ more from my body. Food matters, people, food matters.
That was last week and now I’m on to the fun stuff. I’m booked solid talking to photographers for a DVD cover shoot, makeup artists, my hair stylist, my med spa guru, and probably the most fun part, choosing what workout outfits to wear. The generous folks at ActivewearUSA and prAna are donating my wardrobe and I need your help to select the final outfits.
Here’s what you can do for me:
In the comments below, please tell me which two outfits you think look best on me. I’ll be wearing one during the Pilates DVD and another for the HIIT workout. I can’t wait to hear your opinions! Everyone who leaves a comment will be entered to win a $100 gift card from ActivewearUSA! (Click on the picture below to see each of the outfits.)
I’ve worked with ActivewearUSA as a member of their Advisory Council for over a year now. They carry more than 110 brands of women’s activewear and one of my favorites that they carry is prAna. It’s a great line that started off as yoga apparel, but quickly morphed into a complete lifestyle wardrobe. Please check them out and see what great outfits they have.
That’s not all, though; the contest gets even better! Check out the video on my Lisa Johnson Fitness YouTube channel where I show off the outfits to see which one moves best on me. You can watch the video below and then click the link in the previous sentence to leave a comment there as well. Then you’ll be entered to win a second $100 gift card from ActivewearUSA! The voting (and contest) ends this Friday the 12th at 5:00 pm ET. We’ll announce the winner then.
Good luck and thank you for letting me know which two outfits look best!
Cheers,
Lisa

#4 and #3. Four is my fav!
#2 for Pilates. #4 for interval training. You’ll fabulous, BTW!
I vote for #2 & #3!
#2 and #4 I think will translate best to video…. Break a leg!
Number 2!! Best by far – would use for Pilates. Number 4 for HIIT! I KNOW I’m right!
I say #3 though I like the length of the pants on #4
I really like four a lot. It would work for either. I worried about the top in 2 and 3 for the interval work. :) But, if you chose a separate outfit for Pilates, I love how you look in 2.
#3 for the HIIT, #4 for the pilates! Good luck!
#2 for Pilates (very slimming). #4 for HIIT (looks more active).
#2 and #4 are my favorites!
2 for good support and 4 for softer look and LOVE the colors.
#4 for sure! I went for a run yesterday and we all seemed to have on turquoise and black – twinkie twins all over the trail :) The brown combo works for you…
Thanks so much everyone, keep ‘em coming! :-)
3 and 4 look the most comfy to workout in!!
#2 and #4 :)
#3 & #4
Can’t wait to see the videos!
Like 1 & 4 very nice!!
Four is by far the best one. Three second best.
My favorites are actually mixing them:
I LOVE the top in #2 on you, but not with those pants. They’re great pants, but too loose & long for a video shoot. They make you look bottom-heavy – put top #2 w/ pants in #3
& then set #4 would be the runner up
(Sorry, it’s the Designer in me ;)
Can’t wait!
I like 3 and 4 best!
If I have to choose … #4 is my favorite – especially the pant length. I also love the top in #3 – such great, bright colors on you.
Well, they all look great on you but I’ll chose #3 (HIIT) and #4 (pilates). Love the pant length on #4. The top on #2 looks like you’re going to fall out if you move to much. Just saying.
I prefer #1 and #4
#1 for HIIT and #4 for pilates
1 and 4 are definitely my favorites, especially while moving. I think the top on #2 is really flattering but would need to be matched with different pants.
4 is the winner overall. Lookin’ good!
#4 for sure! And #2.
#2 Great Color for you! #4 Love the fit!
All look great. Like 3 and 4.
I’d say #2 and 4. Though I’m not a big fan of the top in #2.
Aloha Lisa,
I like #3 & #4 the best! :)
4
I like 3 the best because I like the contrast with your skin. #4 is next because it is the right amount of busy so if you bounce it won’t be distracting. I would select 3 for Pilates.
I like number 2 and number 4 :)
#2 & #4 are my favs…they compliment your body well!
I like 4 the best. Number 3 would be my second choice.
I like 3 or 4 best
I think #4 and #3 look the best.
4 is my favorite. I love the soft gentle green color.
4 is the best in my opinion. dont care for 2. like 4.
I like #2. Black is always flattering :) Have fun on your shoot!
I like #3 and #4
#2 for Pilates DVD
#4 HIIT workout
Number 3 for SURE!!!!!!
Have fun filming!! <3
#4 for sure
I like 4 best, then 3.
I love #1 & #4…#4 is my favorite. :)
#4 is my fav! :)
3 is my favorite and 4 is my second choice!!! Good Luck!
Four is my absolute favorite. It’s the one that most flatters you and let’s face it . . . we want to look flattering no matter what we are doing! :) I think the cropped pants are made for you! With that said, for outfit number two, I’d go with the top in picture one with another pair (or the same pair) of cropped pants. You go girl!
#3 and #4….love the colors in #3!
Definitely #4. First, the color works great with your skin tone and hair coloring. Second, the crop on the pants shows off leg definition.
#4 I like the colors and the capri’s they seem like they would be much easier to move in.
Four is definitely my favorite! I would say 3 is my second choice. Good luck with the video!!!
I like #3 for the Pilates and #2 for the HIIT! :) Good luck and can’t wait to see the outfits in action!
I like #s 3 and 4! :)
I like #2 and #4, but you great in them all! :)
#2 and #4 Look the best!
I like 4. Congratulations on your video!
#4 translates best on camera I think
I vote for #3 and #4!
Number 4
Top fav #4
2nd fav #3
I think #1 top with #3′s bottom would be a nice soft look. Think outfit #4 would be great for your HIIT video. No matter what you wear, enjoy the journey :)
I like #2 for Pilates and #4 for the HIIT workout!
I like #4 best and #3 would be my second choice. #4 is nice because it shows off your calves so if the focus of the video goes to your legs, I think showing a bit of leg muscle is a good thing.
#1 and #4 (love the green in four)
3 for pilates, 4 for HIIT
Definitely 3 or 4. Like how the top on #3 makes your shoulders look, but the pants are a little too long.
3 & 4, although 3 is my very favorite :)
#3 =)
Oh dear, I hate to shake the proverbial boat, but I really like the #2 top with #4 pant for HiiT, and pant #3 with top #4 for Pilates. But whatever you choose, I’m sure you’ll look faboo! Can’t wait to see the DVDs!
Lisa, I like 3 & 4.
#3 is my first choice and then #2
Number 4, I am a capri lentgh girl!
#4 for HIIT and either 2 or 3 for pilates.
I think number 4 is best. They all look great, but number 4 just really works for me.
#2 and #4 are my picks
Number 4 is my first choice, then number 3. Good luck with your dvd’s!
I like #4 first and #3 second. Have fun making your videos. You will be great!
Goofed needed to pick two! I just liked number 4 so much that is all I wrote. So for the other pick, I like 2. :)
I like 3 and 4 best. 3 for pilates and 4 for HIIT. Best of luck on your videos – how exciting!
#4 then #3 – super cute – good luck with the DVD
first of all, I think you look great in all of the outfits. but in terms of fitness videos, the more we can see of your body in order to learn the movements, the better. So my top picks are #2 and #4. While #3 is very pretty, the dramatic print might compete with you for attention while all eyes should be focused on you and what you are trying to teach us. that’s my two cents as a PR person! :)
4
Number 3&4. Number 4 is my favorite. I like the natural hues & the fitted capri pants!
4!
I think #3 and #4 as a second choice. I love the brightness of it and the other 3 choices, seem to make you not stand out as much. You are in the spotlight, so command that attention :)
#1 and #4. Watching the video changed my vote — good idea!
I like #4 the best!
I like #4 the best. Great colors and movement.
I like 4 for the Pilates, and 3 for HIIT
Lisa – you’ll be strong and gorgeous no matter what. But 2 and 4. The others are going to cause you to fuss as they pull down over your hips. And I think (for that same reason – pulling over your hips) they may make it more difficult to see the specifics of your movement. But either way, wear the smile and it will go wonderfully!
awh, Marcia, thank you. :-) The answers throughout this thread are so positive, I really appreciate them all! And Keep ‘em coming!
#3!
I like no 4 for pilates + no 2 for HIIT.
I love #3! The blue is gorgeous! My second choice is #4 as I also think the capris are great!
I want to win! I’ve been following you for a while through my own journey. I’ve lost 100 lbs and I could really use some smaller workout clothes!
Oh wow Anna, amazing!!! Congrats on the 100 pound weight loss. :-) L–
#4 you look great in green
3 & 4 best. Good luck!
#2 is my fav but they are all super cute! thanks for the fun contest! xo
Number 3, please.
Its between 2 and 4.
I love #4 on you. My second choice is #3.
#3 and #4. No question. BTW, you look fantastic in the video. I can really see the difference!
Hi everyone!!! We’ve picked a winner! It’s Pat! Pat we have your email and we’ll be contacting you shortly. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED AND LEFT A COMMENT. REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!
I think I’m still making the cut-off for the contest. I think 1 and 4 go best with your coloring. I say 1 for Pilates and 4 for HIIT.
# 4!
I hope I’m not too late Lisa=) It’s number 3 for me.
Oh sorry, I just read the last paragraph. I guess I was too late. Anyway I still vote number 3=)
No worries Kurt, yes, we’ve actually already shot the video. :-)
I would like to go with #4.
