She swore by compression gear as a means to increase oxygen blood flow to the muscles, helping them to recover faster.
After wearing compression sleeves over my calves following the Women’s Half Marathon later that month, I was a believer. I wasn’t sore and loved the snug fit of the sleeves.
I knew then that I wanted to try out compression shorts since my hamstrings and quads are often sore after long runs.
Thanks to the kind people at Aspaeris, I was able to try out the Aspaeris Pivot compression shorts and my belief in the benefits of compression clothing was further solidified.
The Aspaeris compression shorts are tight and thick, but comfortable. They don’t dig into my skin. They are snug, but don’t make me feel strangled.
According to Aspaeris, the shorts “offer a unique two-layer design. The top layer supports your muscles while the bottom layer guides you into position. Breakthrough, patent-pending compression bands are cross-knit into the fabric that creates muscle memory to help prevent ACL injury and improve your performance.”
Snug as a bug in a rug. 
The shorts come in a variety of colors including black, white, red and navy blue.
And now YOU have a chance to win a pair of Aspaeris Pivot compression shorts!
To enter this giveaway, simply comment below telling me about your greatest athletic achievement or a personal athletic goal you have for yourself in the future.
I will randomly select a winner on Monday morning.
Good luck!

I have 2 children and gained 50 lbs with each pregnancy. My youngest just turned two and for the past year I have been on a mission to lose all the weight I gained during pregnancy. I have lost a total of 45 lbs and I feel great! I love working out and I think the compression shorts would benefit me and motivate me to lose even more than the weight I gained during pregnancy! Striving to get rid of all that is jiggly hahaha!
My husband and I just finished a 10k in Hilton Head. We both love to run however our bodies don’t agree to that. However, we are active in our gym and we just love to feel healthy.
I want to run a 10k!
I would love to be able to run a half marathon. I have been training for one and hope all goes well!

becoming a runner! and my first 10 miler
I am working toward completing a half marathon at the end of this year!!
Greatest so far…Marine Corp 1/2. It was my 1st 1/2 and I ran wht Team in Training. I went to bed and woke up with a migraine. It was horrible running with the headache, but the finish line felt amazing..
Next goal is a full!
I love the Aspaeris Pivot Shorts! So glad you had a good experience. My current goal is to try to run 1:50:xx in the 13.1 Miami Beach race next weekend! So send some happy thoughts (and those aspaeris shorts!) my way next SUN (3/4) as this ChiTown girl takes it to the beach for great race!
My biggest fitness goal was first becoming a Spinning instructor, then participating in a 6 hour ride, then being chosen to instruct an hour in that same ride.
Next up…running.
My goal is to do the susan g koman 60 mile walk!!

I am currently training for my first ever 10k that is April 14th, I am registered for the Chicago Soldier 10 race at the end of May, my goal is to be able to run the entire 10 miles. I plan to continue with training past the 10k mark & conquer a half marathon in July.
I’m currently training for my first half marathon! Woohoo!
I’m starting small. I am trying to build myself up to run a 5K. Seems small compared to others. I tend to give up for weeks at at time when I wake up so sore I can barely stand. I really think this might be something that would benefit me. I love my runners high and my sense of accomplishment when I’ve finished. I don’t love the soreness that tends to make me shy away from wanting to run.
Training for a full marathon for early Fall!
recovering from an acl injury so I can run a half marthon and play soccer again!
one of my proudest athletic moments was running my first ever half marathon last september after struggling with 2.5 years of constant shin pain 🙂
I have a goal to run a 1/2 marathon in the fall. I did a 10K in 2011 so I’m right on track!
I have a rock n’ roll half in March and would love to try out some compression shorts after!
Wow!! They sound great and I am running my first full marathon April 28th, the Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon and could really use those shorts, I am also running the Southwest Half Marathon(Palos) the following weekend!!! I really need them!!
My greatest athletic achievement was starting to run – it has given me confidence allowed me to quit bad habits and addictions that I may not have been able to do otherwise 😀
I want to break 3:30 in the marathon!
My greatest accomplishments have been running one marathon and many ski marathons!
Hope to complete first marathon this spring!
my goal is to run the Disney marathon in August this year 🙂
My greatest accomplishment was deciding to run the Chicago marathon in 2010 and finishing within 2 minutes of my goal time even though it was an extremely hot day. I have been interested in trying the Aspaeris shorts for a few weeks now!
I would love to be in a fitness competition in the future!
One of my athletic goals for the future (post-baby) is to run a half marathon!
GOAL is to run a 1:30 Marathon – I am currently sitting on a 1:38
The push I need to run my first marathon!
I recently just lost 35 lbs by eating healthy, working out/strength training, and staying motivated. Now, I want to run in our hometown turkey trot at the end of the year on Thankgiving day. I’ve never been able to run it nor even finish it so * Fingers crossed * this year 🙂
I am a young married girl, and I have just finished my first 5k! I have always been athletic, but never a runner until now. I’ve played team sports for years, but when I got married, I needed a way to exercise and stay in shape! I have learned to enjoy running(as much as one can!) and my goal is to run a 10k soon!
My greatest accomplishment has been this past year! I began running and working out along with eating better and have shed and maintained a 52lb loss! I will be running my very first half marathon in May and compression shorts sound like something I definitely need to invest in!
My second half marathon is in less than 4 weeks!
