What you wear to workout can actually impact your performance. If you are going to dedicate an hour of your day to the gym, you want to optimize your workout and performance during that hour, right? Right. Here are the top three “must-haves” for your workout wardrobe:
- Wear breathable fabric: ‘Breathable’ describes how fast moisture passes through a specific fabric. In other words, if your workout shirt isn’t breathable, you will be trapping in all of your sweat during your workout. (Ick. Not cute.) Natural fabrics (like cotton) are breathable and the best choice for your workout gear.
- Buy clothes that provide adequate support: This seems like a no-brainer, but we all know THAT girl at the gym who wears clothes that are way too tight. Don’t be a sausage casing. It’s not only an unflattering look, but restrictive gym clothes can also trap sweat. I think it goes without saying that a proper sports bra is also a must. If your ‘girls’ are bouncing around too much, it’s time to invest in a more supportive bra.
- Dry fit is your best bet: Dry fit clothing has ‘wicking’ which is designed to keep you sweat-free. You can do those overhead presses with the confidence of knowing you won’t be flashing pit stains to the cute boy next to you.
