WEAR RIGHT WHILE WORKINGOUT - WOMEN - HEALTH, EXERCISE and DIET

Hi Healthies,

Proper attire is required for any kind of activity as it increases the performance whether you are working out in the gym or jogging in the park . Some people think that it's not worth it and other take it as the wastage of money. At least in India where people are not much aware about exercise and fitness this is the most ignored area. To improve your performance in the gym or any kind of sports activities, right active wear is must. Here we are going to discuss about some fabrics and clothes that are comfortable, stylish and will improve the results of your workout. When you work out, the temperature of your body increases and your body sweats to keep it cool. So choose light synthetic fabric that will keep the sweat away from your body by transporting it to the outside of your clothes where it evaporates.

COMMON TIP

Cotton is not the best choice as it becomes heavier when it absorbs sweat. Don’t choose heavy materials. Light synthetic fabric will keep the sweat away from your body transporting it to the outside of your clothes where it evaporates. Choose the clothes that allow you full mobility. Opt for flat locked seams which will prevent chafing (damaging your body due to scraping) and will not damage your body while working out.

TOP

Wear a tank top over a sports bra or athletic bra that has bra built into it if you have personal gym. If you workout in the public gym opt for T-shirt that is comfortable and fits well over your sports bra. Go for a dry-fit or moisture wicking material that will keep you fresh and dry despite sweating. Cut sleeves are also a good choice. Avoid dark colored tops that will show sweat easily.

BOTTOM

What you should wear on the bottom depend upon the type of exercise you do. Long pants are good for walking, but if you exercise in gym go for tight or fitted capri length pants. If you are running or cycling a good pair of cotton or polyester shorts will help in keeping you mobile and cool. Wear sweatpants in winters for running outdoors. If you prefer cycling you can wear cycling shorts with adding to reduce the risk of pain and injury to the groin area. Track pants or the uber-popular black athletic pants for females are good options.

FOOTWEAR

Regular running shoes can be worn for almost any exercise. For squash or basketball, opt for special shoes designed for the pupose. Sandals or any open toe shoes can be unsafe if you workout around or with heavy weights. Wear light weight cotton socks with it. Do not workout bare foot unless your exercise demands it (eg. Yoga).

TIPS -

Active wear are not always expensive. Look for discounts on different sites online and you will find some that will suit your budget. Don't ignore gym attire while working out.
