Fitness training is not only about a mat and equipment such as dumbbells, rubber bands or gym balls. For proper comfort and safety during exercise, it is also worth getting appropriate clothing. What will be most useful?
Fitness is such a sport that you can also train at home. However, this does not change the fact that just like for classes at the gym, also for sports at home you need to be properly prepared. Sports clothing has its own rules, which are worth remembering.
Comfort during exercise is undoubtedly influenced by clothing. Sports stores offer clothing designed exclusively for fitness. The material from which they are sewn is permeable to air and moisture, which is extremely important for longer and more intensive workouts. T-shirts that “breathe” will also ensure that you don’t get sore chafing on your skin. Pay attention to the fact that the top of the outfit does not restrict your movements. The material must be flexible and cannot pinch you. Avoid models with zippers or buttons, as you may get your hands or equipment caught on them during exercise. Go for a simple, hip-length T-shirt or tank top with a ribbed bottom.
When it comes to colors, it’s up to you. However, just like your everyday clothes, as a rule of thumb, dark colors make you look slimmer, while light ones accentuate imperfections. When you want to emphasize your unique style, you can choose a T-shirt with an interesting print.
Another element of your outfit that is worth taking care of is a sports bra. As in the case of T-shirts, choose a model that fits the body, but does not press on the skin. Sports bras should not have metal elements, whalebones, lace. When shopping, pay attention to the seam in the sports bra – it must be flat. The most comfortable, however, are those seamless.
You can train for fitness in both long and short pants. Decide for yourself what you feel best in. However, remember to pay attention to the material. If you choose leggings, be aware that sports models are made of very flexible and thin materials, adhering to the body. This significantly affects the comfort during exercise. The most important element is that the leggings must be breathable. In stores you will find versions in different colors – from classic to the most expressive.
The second option is long sweatpants. They cannot be too thick and wide. They should allow you to move freely and should reach your ankle. If you opt for longer legs, you may find yourself stepping on them with your shoes during your workout, which is not only uncomfortable but also very dangerous.
Finally, short shorts. The best option are those made of cotton and containing polyester or elastane. They cannot be too short and should have a non-pressing elastic band. Choose a model that will emphasize your figure and make you feel good.
When putting together your outfit, you must remember to choose the right footwear. The shoe must wick away moisture and let the air pass through. To avoid injuries, you must make sure that your shoes
– fit snugly on your feet,
– Not too big,
– have a soft instep.
Due to the intensity of the exercises, the shoes must be resistant to abrasion, and have a sole that prevents slipping. Don’t skimp on this element of your outfit – the better the material the shoes are made of, the safer your feet and knees will be. An online shoe store
is a great place to browse the currently fashionable models, read detailed specifications of specific types of shoes. Remember also about the choice of socks – they can not press on the foot and must “breathe”.
If you remember how to choose the right elements of your outfit, you can be sure that your training will become even more enjoyable. You can complete the look with accessories such as terrycloth wristbands for wiping sweat.
