Choose The Right Workout Clothes.

The “Workhorse” Fabrics are the best

Some fabrics are designed to pull sweat away from your skin during exercise, or absorb it. When it comes to choosing workout clothes, some choices are better than others.

Think wicking. You will find there are many breathable synthetic fabrics that “wick” the sweat away from your skin, which will help to evaporate quickly and keep your body cool. Clothing made out of fabrics containing polypropylene or fabrics such as COOLMAX® and SUPPLEX® are a good choice for exercise and other activities in which you are likely to sweat a lot, as they allow the sweat to be evaporated from the skin but do not soak clothing and leave you feeling sweaty and uncomfortable.

Always Get the Right Fit, make sure that your workout clothes fit your body and the workout that you have planned, some tips to consider:

1. You should wear clothes that are loose and comfortable. But if you are running or biking, avoid wide-leg or loose pants that could get tangled up in the pedals or your feet.

2. For yoga or Pilates activities wear, stretchy, fitted fabrics that will wick away sweat are a best choice.

3. Always, keep in mind that you don't want any clothing that gets in the way of the activity.

Workout Clothes Changes With the Seasons in Most Countries

For outdoors activities or seasonal sports, what you wear may have to change with the seasons. Keep these tips in mind when dressing for outdoor exercise:

1. During warm summer months, always choose fabrics that allow your skin to breathe and wick sweat away. Dress in clothes that are cool and comfortable, and allow you to move freely.

.

2. During cold weathers, for outdoor activities you'll need to dress warmly, but keeping in mind that you'll be exercising and boosting your heart rate and your body temperature. Dress in layers that you can remove, and always dress for weather that's warmer than what the thermometer outside says. Keep sweat-wicking clothing on your inner layer, and put an insulating layer on top of that. Always cover your head, ears, and hands to protect them from the cold.

3. During wet or windy weather, nothing can ruin an outdoor workout faster than getting soaked in the rain or caught in a strong wind. Wear an outer layer that protects your skin from the elements.

Always

remember that no matter what the temperature, you're still likely to work up a sweat during a workout. Keep yourself as comfortable as possible with clothing designed for heavy exercise that wicks sweat away from the skin. And keep the weather in mind if you're exercising outdoors, and dress appropriately.
