I love lululemon

I’m sure that comes as NO surprise to you, if you’ve followed me for long or know me at all!

When I started lemonLOVES, I planned to do a lot of FIT reviews. Between covid, racial injustice, and my own journey with post concussion syndrome, I have gotten off track with FIT reviews. I intend to keep on with them, as long as people find them useful, and cover current events as needed while I continue my anti-racist journey.

up this week…lululemon’s men’s el current short

On a pool day (in 115 degree heat), I was fortunate enough to run into a lululemon Ambassador, Baptiste Power Yoga Phoenix founder Brian Thomas!

He’s also my husband…so he didn’t mind me ambushing him for the blog.

In these photos, Brian is wearing the El Current water / board short.

While I am open to trying pretty much anything lululemon, Brian is very picky. So, you’ll have to watch the video to see if these shorts get his full approval!

In today’s post, I am including:

  • a summary card of the FIT review

  • nine exercises I recommend for a day at the pool

  • a video where I highlight the product in motion

  • some links to purchase online.

If you do choose to make a purchase through your links, know that your purchase supports this blog and my mission to bring health and wellness education, mindfulness tools, and movement to as many people as possible.

I so appreciate your support!


Fit = Function, Inspiration, Technical Elements

Function:

  • Anything water-related!

  • Brian loves these for Hawaii and SoCal

  • Brian has also worn these to hot yoga when he wants to go to happy hour after!

Inspiration:

It’s always in the details.

  • The shorts feature two zippered pockets to keep your gear secure!

  • There’s also a bungee to attach your keys.

  • Brian’s a fan of the notch at the knee for max mobility.

  • Brian loves that there’s a linerless AND a lined option.

Technical elements:

  • Four way stretch so you can MOVE!

  • Quick drying Esca fabric with Lycra; helps keep the colors vibrant despite chlorine and salt and maintain shape.

We definitely took advantage of our amazing friends’ pool for this heart-opening backbend series. Feel free to do these on dry land for safety’s sake 😉
