Crowdtap + Old Navy + Free Stuff = Get in on this!

A few weeks ago I joined a site called Crowdtap which is a community where people are asked to share their opinions on a whole range of topics - essentially participating in market research surveys & polls. In return you can earn points towards gift cards & free stuff! It's a pretty cool site, doesn't take too much time to pop on and participate from time to time, and so far the benefits are pretty good - case in point:

Though the site I was selected to be part of a group of people who were given coupons for a free pair of active pants from Old Navy. They also gave me 3 extra coupons to share with friends who can also get a pair of free pants! So, I went in to Old Navy today, after having shopped online a bit to see what they had to offer, and was pleasantly surprised right from the start with the selection of pants and quality of product they had available. I was able to choose any pair of active pants I wanted and ended up going with their Compression Pants (straight fit) in Grey. As soon as I put these pants on I was hooked, they have a great spandexy/moisture wicking fabric, and actually true to their name do have some compression which makes me feel look great!

So, as soon as I got them home I put them on and spent the rest of the day wearing them while I worked at my computer. Then this evening I wore them to Crossfit. These pants stayed up, were not restricting, and felt great through 8.5 rounds of : 5 Hang Power Cleans, 5 Push Jerks and 10 Pullups!!

Post workout - still lookin good!

I'm super picky about my workout pants because the last thing I need when focusing on a WOD (Workout of the Day) is to be worrying about my pants falling down, or getting bunched up and producing unsightly muffin tops. These pants stayed in place & didn't weigh me down.

The unofficial uniform of Crossfit seems to be Lululemon - but for me I'm now just as happy in my $13 something (they were on sale from $29 something...but I got them for free) Old Navy pants!

If you're interested in getting in on the free-stuff and earning cash rewards action, check out Crowdtap.


P.S. since I knew I'd be shopping at Old Navy because of this Crowdtap freebie, I also bought the recent Old Navy Groupon and was able to score all of this stuff for just $10 (I paid $10 on Groupon and got a $20 store credit). Unfortunately the Old Navy people had a hard time figuring out how to redeem my Groupon - the process from my side of the register seemed unnecessarily complicated, but they were super nice & even gave me a $5 gift card to thank me for my patience as they figured it out!

(In the interest of full disclosure - yes, I was given these pants for free but under no obligation to review them on my blog, my opinions are my own. Also, if you click on the links to Crowdtap  in this post, you'll be going through my referral link and I'll be given credit for anyone who signs up).
