As is probably evident by this entire blog and my Instagram which people repeatedly tell me makes them very hungry (that is the point! :)), I clearly like to eat. I love basically everything revolving around food – dreaming of what to eat for my next meal, learning about new restaurants in town, flipping through beautiful cookbooks, reminiscing about incredible meals I’ve eaten, the way food brings people together.
Fortunately for myself, to balance out all of my eating, I also really love to exercise. I’m not just saying that. I love the way I feel after a super hard workout, exhausted but also so happy that I was strong enough to finish it. My preferred workout choice is Crossfit. I am a member of Crossfit Pearl District and am moderately obsessed. Every day is different, which is perfect for my need of constant variety, plus I love the seriously challenging workouts and the feeling of lifting heavy weights (who says girls aren’t strong?!).
But as I mentioned with liking variety, I also throw in some running, hiking, rock climbing and BurnCycle spin for good measure.
Now, as anyone who has a regular exercise routine will tell you, clothing is important. Not just the look (which needs to be cute and preferably neon in my opinion!), but obviously fit and function need to be there too. As the name implies, Title Nine, an active wear clothing company with a store located in the Pearl District, caters to women.
In particular, they focus on high-quality, cute and functional sports bras. For sizes anywhere from an AA to DD+, they have ladies who move covered. And they want to make sure that you are wearing the one that is perfect for you.
With all that being said, I’m excited to share with you news about Title Nine’s FitFest event on June 3rd – 4th in Portland and also provide an awesome giveaway of a free sports bra from Title Nine!
Title Nine FitFest:
As any female athlete knows (or should know!), the most important foundation for any workout is a bra designed specifically for each lady’s unique body type, size and activity. The bra experts at Title Nine are making it easier and a lot more fun to find the perfect bra by hosting “FitFest” events to help every athlete find her perfect bra and get on the road to a more comfortable and healthier workout.

Wahoo for ta tas!!
Haha! Lady power.
Thanks Erin 🙂 pick me! pick me!
I’ll do my best!
Fun giveaway! I like dancing around the kitchen while baking. And, the p90x3, T25, Insanity Max workouts. Or hikes with friends on Sundays that end with a big brunch and mimosas.
Um, yes, hike + a big brunch?! That is the way to exercise for sure!! And dancing while baking? I like your style, Marlynn!
Walking Zippy of course has become my favorite exercise!
I’m sure she appreciates it!
This is awesome that they are giving more “support” to women. 🙂 I don’t need to take advantage of this one, but I still think the “girls” need love.
Thanks for the support! I love following your yoga moves online!
so i JUST started running! and that definitely requires some support! awesome giveaway!

Nice! Good for you! A good bra makes that so much better too!
Hiking is definitely my favorite exercise, but since it’s more like a stroll when I go at my daughter’s pace, we recently bought an elliptical/stationary bike. Now I can exercise without arranging for a babysitter!
I’m sure that is super helpful with a little one running around. And that is great to get her out hiking already! 🙂
Although I run quite a bit, hiking is actually my favorite activity with Stand Up Paddleboarding a close second.
Hooray for comfortable ta-tas!!
Cheers,
Christi
That always look so fun! And like a great arm workout!
My favorite workout is volleyball! I play once a week and I’m so excited because sand season is starting soon.
I’m impressed! Sand volleyball is super hard! A lot of fun, but man am I uncoordinated out in the sand!
I had never heard about Title Nine until the past couple days, and now I definitely feel a need to check them out, especially given the first bullet point – I can trust someone who likes to eat and work out. My favorite current fitness activity is Zumba, and I had a favorite strength/weight class I used here at my current work (at my last work it was Step Class, but they don’t offer it at my current work) and am curious to see what I might get into at the gym of my new, impending work location!
Zumba always seems like a total fun time. Have you heard of Pound? I just heard about this today. It sounds kind of like Zumba but with drumming as the main exercise, so a big upper body workout. It might be up your alley!
I love to hike…and I’m so glad it is hiking season again!
Me too! I have a long list of hikes to do this summer, plus a few weekdays off to hopefully get a few done while it isn’t so crowded and busy!
I love to go running outside.
Erin thank you so much for the shout out, great photos, and awesome blog. We were so happy to have had you in our store. Enjoy your summer. Sounds like you and Martha Chartreuse have a great thing going on Thursdays – food eating and chatting up other bloggers. Looking forward to seeing more posts.
I like hiking with my dog and dance classes.
I would have to say sit-ups
Hot yoga!
Zumba is my fav
My favorite kind of exercise is weightlifting.
Very cool! I wanted to join you all last Wednesday but it was my first night home after a long trip and needed the catch-up time.
I’ve tried CrossFit, kettlebells, and heavy strength training in the past 1.5 years and have settled on regular strength/CrossFit WODs in our gym garage. Plus hiking on the weekends!
I’m impressed that you do all of that in your garage! I’m too unmotivated when by myself but I love all of that!
I enjoy walking in the park with my husband.
I enjoy spin classes the most
I love spin and barre classes. I also do Sronglifts and play golf with my husband.
Burn Cycle!!! And a couple of other things…
Only a couple. You really don’t like exercising 😉 just kidding!
YAAY SPORTS BRAS! I love running and yoga 🙂
I love jogging, and i could really use a new sports bra!
Entered the Rafflecopter as “Wild Orchid”
