It has been a month of training in Academy Sports + Outdoors plus size active gear and I couldn’t be more impressed. The gear is not only extremely affordable, it’s held up. I am super excited because today I have partnered with Academy to help one of you lucky unicorns the chance to experience those everyday low prices. for yourself!I am giving away a $100 gift card to Academy! Entering is simple, just leave a comment on this Instagram post sharing one way you love to move and tag a friend. Winner must be following @academy to be eligible to win.

Academy makes it easy to gift and give, so to show you just how far $100 dollars can go at Academy, I put together this quick look. Did you know Academy also carries plus gear from a variety of fitness brands? I scored this adorable Columbia zip up  and you will have to rip it from my cold dead hands. Not only is it lightweight and comfy as all get out, it is also the absolutely perfect shade of coral. It just lights up the chilly days (and my face) whenever I wear it. To start a new year of training off right, I also got these amazing Nike flex experience sneakers in a size 12 (Yes, big footed girls they have shoes for us!).  They’re so flexible and might be my most comfortable pair of sneakers yet. Lastly, I added a pair of  BCG Plus terry joggers . The result is the perfect outfit to support my active lifestyle in the cooler winter months.

Thanks to Academy for sponsoring this post and good luck!
