Let’s talk a little bit about workout clothing. Let me make it clear, I am not an expert here but I would like to share with you a little bit of my experiences. It’s essential to make sure that you’re making the conditions for your workout as conducive to progress as possible. As well as choosing the right workouts, working out with the right people, and taking care of your body between sessions, you should also look at what you’re wearing. The right workout clothing can make a load of difference, so what are the qualities you should be looking for when you’re choosing it?

The fit for fitness

Nothing is more important than choosing workout clothes that fit you. If they’re too loose, then you’re likely to trip over yourself while trying to work out, and if they are too tight, it can cause strain and discomfort that can lead to a genuine increased risk of injuring yourself. Even if you’re not too confident in your body shape at the moment, the benefits of wearing fitted clothes way outweigh the drawbacks. Really nice option are fitness leggings from Curves N Combatboots, they claim to have high quality fabrics and have sizes from XS to XXL. Note, I didn’t try them out but they seem to be nice option to check out.

Protecting your body

If you’re the kind of person who is going to work out in the outdoors, as much as you can throughout the year, then you need to make sure that you’re choosing clothes that best fit your needs from season to season. Breathable fabrics are essential all year round, but especially when you’re working out in that summer sun. Meanwhile, you should look more for synthetic fleeces in the winter as a layer to protect against the rain and snow. Good cover is important no matter the time of year, too, to protect from the sun (and sunscreen is an important part of that, too.) 

Thermo-regulation is key

Good workout clothing can both keep you warmer in the cold, while also helping you cool down when your body is getting hot. That’s why it is so important that your clothing is made out of breathable, sweat-wicking materials. Proper fabrics make sure that your skin doesn’t become humid and overly hot. Remember that the first layer of the clothing which touches your skin should be made from natural fabrics such as cotton or wool, following layers can be made from synthetic materials which can protect you from rain. Perfect options offer MonikaKaminska.pl and actually I learnt from her a lot about fabrics, highly recommend to follow her IG. 

Allowing for flexibility

Aside from a good fit, you want to make sure that your clothes offer the right degree of flexibility, especially if you’re choosing outfits for intense aerobic exercises or stretching routines like yoga or pilates. If you’re trying to get flexible but you have to strain against or reposition your clothes regularly, you can increase the risk of straining something, which can take you out of your workout for weeks.

Staying fresh

It’s not talked about quite as often, but when your body sweats, you’re going to attract a lot more bacteria to the skin. A good shower will wash most of these away but if you’re conscious about body odor while working out, then clothing using Silverescent technology can help diminish it. Never tried it but it’s worth checking out. Of course, some body odor is to be expected when working out, but you can at least have some kind of control if you wish.

The right fitness gear isn’t suddenly going to make you a dynamo in the gym, I hope that is clear. It is, however, going to help keep workouts safe, healthy, and comfortable, allowing you to push and get the best out of them.
