Top Reasons to Wear Gym Clothes When You Exercise
You’ve probably heard the phrase “Dress for success,” and it applies to what you wear in the gym! What you wear makes a strong visual statement about how you and the observer perceive you, which overall impacts your performance. That’s why you must wear the RIGHT type of workout clothes. But when it comes to gym clothing, what do you prefer? Comfort or fashion? Many of us fall somewhere in between, with some leaning towards fashion and others prioritizing comfort, like wearing an oversized Tee to the gym. But we should prioritise gym wear that has a blend of all of these; otherwise, unknowingly, your performance will start having a negative impact.
To explain more in detail, here are 5 reasons why you should wear the right gym clothes when you workout.
Material differences:
Gone are the days when that super-comfy oversized T-shirt would do the job. That old cotton T-shirt absorbs sweat rapidly but retains moisture, thus leaving you feeling damp, eventually blocking your way to workout with full efficiency. So it’s the need of hour to shift to moisture-wicking fabric. Its sweat-wicking quality keeps the sweat away from your skin, preventing any kind of skin rashes, and irritation. So, your skin problems won’t come near you.
In addition to that, this fabric is also stretchable, lightweight, super soft, and breathable, allowing your body’s temperature to remain cool, instead of sweat building up in minutes.
Support:
Just like you don’t wear your normal shoes for trekking, you definitely shouldn’t wear your everyday bra to the gym. There is something made for all kinds of activity so that you get the needed support and comfort. So wear a sports bra to the gym as it minimizes the excessive bouncing of the breasts while you do any high-intensity workout. And especially if you’re heavy-busted, you must wear a sports bra to the gym otherwise, that delicate area will sag, and cause severe discomfort, and pain.
Compression tights are another example of supportive gym wear. They ensure you don’t get chafing from the frequent movement. Opt for high-waist 4-way stretch tights that give your tummy support and let you move freely. Quick-dry technology wicks away sweat during vigorous workouts, keeping you cool and dry and anti-static fabric prevents fabric from clinging to your body so you workout stress-free.
Durability:
We’re sure that before buying any grocery item, you check how long it will last. Isn’t that the case? Cause there is an expiration date for everything, even your bras. (Many ladies don’t replace bras for years, but they don’t know that a bra has an expiry date of 6 months). And you know that any physical activity involves a lot of falling, jumping and stretching, which means damage to your clothes and loads of money spent on finding a good durable replacement. So always go for high-quality durable activewear too, which can eventually save your pocket from burning and from injuring yourself, of course.
Mindset & Motivation:
In the same way, wearing a glamorous bodycon dress helps you feel and look like a million-dollar, gym clothing can put you in the right set of mind. Putting on the right gym wear can make you feel super pumped up and ready to smash your workout goals. Remember, when you look the part, you feel the part. So once you put on gym wear, you feel you’re part of a workout or an activity. Owning the right gymwear increases your confidence, and when you feel highly geared up, you workout 100x harder and when you workout harder, you see tangible results.
So if you want to see visible results and make a head-turning impact, own the right gymwear!
Skin problem:
Oftentimes, poor-quality activewear can irritate your skin, leading to rashes and itching during workout. Sweating, and wearing extremely tight gym wear can obstruct your skin from breathing. So investing in good quality skin-friendly gymwear is a must.
That’s it! Your workout-drobe is calling for a refresh with trendy print tights, stylish tops and T-shirts, and supportive bras. Refresh your gym wardrobe, and watch as your motivation to hit the gym gets a boost – because, believe it or not, your outfit can impact your mood.
