Lynda Lippin is nordgren active’s Pilates expert. She has the great good fortune to practice Pilates and teach at Parrot Cay in the Turks and Caicos. (see nordgren active piece on Lynda from June 2009) Lynda was kind enough to give us feedback about her wear test of nordgren performance activewear.

“What I love about these clothes:
- -fabric gives some compression, but with enough stretch to still be comfortable
- -lightweight yet sturdy
- -full gusseted crotch for comfort
- -lower cut for those of us with short waists
- -good coverage in the tank without being overly dowdy
- -easy to wash and dries very quickly
In general they wear well, wash well, move well and are perfect for this climate.”

Here are the photos and video of me wearing Nordgren Active Wear for various activities at home and at the gym. Included is my own original position, “upward-facing cat”!
I love wearing them – they are SO comfortable. The fabric is nicer than any gym type of clothes I’ve ever worn. I really like the design as well, especially the fact that the tank covers my bra straps and the lower waist of the pants. I’m a bit “zaftig” and the pants are quite flattering as they do a nice job of smoothing out my jiggles! I felt like the best-dressed person at the gym when I wore them; they’re very elegant looking in addition to being functional.
Thanks so much for the opportunity to be a wear tester!

Let me start by saying, I love your product! It looks great, it moves easily, there is none of that “funny” rubbing feel of cheap fabric and the style is elegant and sophisticated. I also really like the sense of having my ’lumps’ smoothed out without feeling like I can’t breath or being squashed into my clothes. I will have no problem recommending you and your products to any of my friends.
On me, the pants came just below my belly button which was nice. The fabric felt wonderful while sweating. Perspiration absorbed into the fabric but did not weigh me down, drip all over me, over heat me or make me feel uncomfortable in any way.
As someone who typically wears a pair of old sweats and a tee shirt, I can tell you the difference is marvelous…motivating too.

The blog was exactly fantastic! Lots of nice information and enthusiasm, both of which we all need!
Do you know whether it would be a good idea to try and lift weight to lose weight?
Would you chance to know if it is’s safe to lift weights while trying to lose weight? I’ve made it my new years resolution so I am trying to stick with it.
Very informative blog on nutrition and weight loss. I think many could benefit from reading your blog therefore I am subscribing to it and telling all my friends.
I’ve a tough time losing weight as well .
A very nice niche blog, and a good design there sparks Simplicity yet complex algorithm of the internet. Thank You
Absolutely! But not in the way you think it will. What weight training will do is change your body composition. As you get stronger & build more muscle mass - your metabolism will speed up because muscle tissue burns more calories than fat tissue. Your clothes will fit better, you may even go down a few sizes depending on how much body fat you have to lose. Actual body weight may not change much because muscle weighs more than fat. That is good!! Don’t worry so much about the reading on your scale & focus instead on the amount you are lifting, your form, and the consistency of your workouts. For excellent assistance in developing your form - contact your local Crossfit affiliate. Best of luck & keep me posted!
