Ponya Talk

Wearing bright colors and patterns, a huge smile, and often pigtails, you can't miss Karen Brady, aka KJ, when she's out on a run. Positive and encouraging doesn’t even begin to describe her approach to life and all she loves, running, supporting other women, and promoting a healthy lifestyle. She serves as an ambassador for Nuun, BibRave, and Newton Running and is supportive of Ponya as well. In fact, she’s introduced many friends in the local Louisville running community to Ponya Bands with her enthusiasm for the bands.

A later-to-life runner, this 40 year has been running for 10 years now. She was always active, playing softball in her youth, enjoying long walks, and even attempting to play basketball, she confessed “I’m not an outdoorsy person except when it comes to running.”

The hot and humid days are upon us, those days where you can wring out every single piece of clothing you have on as soon as you finish a run, down to your socks. This time of year, keeping cool becomes a top priority for everyone. For athletes, this becomes even more important, and staying hydrated and in the shade isn’t always enough. And sometimes the shade seems non-existent.

While admittedly nothing will make you completely comfortable being active in the heat, any little bit helps. Our customers have 3 ways to make the most of our Bamboo Terry-Lined Sweatband’s thermo-regulating power.

If you follow runners on Instagram, you’ve likely seen Katie B.’s smiling face as half of 2fabfitchicks. These two running friends chronicle their races and training on their blog and Insta page. They also serve as ambassadors for Honey Stinger, Brooks Running, Zensah, SOS Hydration, MyStryde, and Fré. They only represent brands they believe in and use, and Katie proudly sports her Ponya Bands and shares them to their stories frequently.

Our new Twist Band is perhaps our most versatile band yet and our widest at 5 inches. Made of the same silky soft fabric as our Bamboo Jersey-Lined Bands, they can be worn for working out, every day wear, and more with Ponya’s blend of comfort, function, and style.

The anti-microbial and thermo-regulating properties of bamboo fabric means these Twist Bands will be comfortable year-round. This blog post will cover the two ways to wear our Twist Bands with some extra Ponya tips.

When exercising, do your headbands slip? Do your sweatbands actually absorb sweat or just redirect it? Or are you just tired of headbands or sweatbands pinching, squeezing, or damaging your hair? All of these challenges and more have one simple solution, Ponya Bands.

She embodies exactly what Ponya stands for and shines as bright as her namesake Rave On band.
