How do you match leggings to the type of workout?

Without the right sportswear, working out can be an ordeal. Well-fitting workout clothes do not restrict movement, are flexible, fit the body well and do not interfere with various maneuvers. Comfort and freedom are very important for a good and quality workout. That is why we suggest how to correctly choose leggings for the type of training.

Leggings for yoga

When practicing yoga, leggings are the most appropriate outfit. They provide full mobility, thanks to which even the most complicated asanas can be performed without unpleasant feeling of tension. The material of your yoga leggings should be rather thin and stretchy, but make sure that it doesn’t show through, because with your head down dog, you might give the people in the row behind you an underwear show. It is also very important that the sports leggings are well made. This is mainly about the seams, which should not come apart under tension, because this is a sign that the pants will rip quickly. Seamless leggings are also great, as they eliminate this risk almost completely. The Seamless Comfy Stripes model in pistachio shade from Boco Wear is a great choice for everyday yoga practice

Leggings for crossfit

Crossfit is becoming more and more popular every year. No wonder, crossfit workouts are short but intense, and you can see the effects of your efforts after just a few weeks. Costume for such workouts must be primarily light and airy. It is important that the leggings are well-fitted to the body and create the effect of a second skin. Crossfit often involves very dynamic movements, which may cause the outfit to move on the body, such as leggings slipping down. Therefore, for such intensive workouts, high-waisted leggings will be ideal, for example Navy Perfect Shape (Push up) from the Boco store. Thanks to their cut, they will not slip off your hips during exercise. Choosing a seamless model will also prevent chafing and uncomfortable pressure where the fabric joins. This way, nothing will distract and disturb you during your workout, so you will be able to fully focus on your trainer’s commands and control over your body

Running leggings

Elastic and comfortable leggings are also a great outfit for jogging or running workouts. They are so much better than your average sweatpants because they do not move around your skin. Well-fitting, tight leggings will not move while you run, so you don’t have to worry about chafing or other unpleasant effects of running in sweatpants. Sports leggings are an excellent choice. But what if you want to go running in the winter? Snow all around, the thermometer shows around zero, and training must take place. For the sake of your health, do not go jogging in the winter months in just leggings. You have two options here – you can wear tights and two pairs of leggings if it’s comfortable enough for you and doesn’t irritate your skin, or you can opt for thermal leggings. The material that strongly retains body heat allows you to stay thermally comfortable even in really cold temperatures

Choosing sportswear is not an easy task. Good quality, durable and aesthetic leggings are a considerable expense, so it is good to make a well-considered decision and not regret your purchase later. When choosing the perfect workout outfit, keep in mind what you want to exercise in it, how intense your movements are and what features you are looking for in sportswear. Leggings that fit your type of workout and your needs are the key to an enjoyable workout
