Health and
Fitness Wear
Health and fitness wear should be taken as seriously as your workout. You wake up in the morning, no shower, unshaven, yes ladies, you too, and grab your favorite sweats and t-shirt and head out the door. Mmmm, quite a sight I 'm sure.
Did you ever stop to think about the exercise clothes your wearing? Are you really going to wear that to workout in? I ask not because you need to make a fashion statement when you are exercising. I am quite opposed to that. But what if the clothes you are wearing make your workout less effective.
You want to be able to move and work your muscles without restriction. That’s priority with womens athletic wear. For most people that simply requires a pair of shorts and a tank top; comfy, but not the best choice.
And if you constantly have to adjust your shirt and pants because the sweat has stretched them out and they’re now clinging to you, that’s a good indication, you’re wearing the wrong outfit too. “Sweat filled” pants against your body while you’re giving your workout your all is not the most enjoyable feeling either. Yes, they are in fact sweat pants, but in no doubt not intended to be used as a depository.
So what kind of health and fitness wear should you be wearing? Well, ideally you wear whatever is comfortable…but before you start with the gym workout clothes again, there’s more to the comfort factor. The truth ladies, athletic wear needs to be non-restrictive; allowing your body to move comfortably without limit.
Let’s talk about sweat a little more. It is a scientific fact that we 
lose more fat the more we sweat. That’s why in high school the wrestling team dressed in layers of clothes and ran around before a meet. They were sweating as much as possible to make weight.
The experts tell us if you can wear clothes that allow you to keep the sweat in while you exercise you will lose more body fat. Looking for clothes that are made of spandex will help you keep in the sweat and hold in your body heat.
This applies for all your health and fitness wear, except for the
underwear. While no one thinks much about their underwear, it is a part of the whole get up and shouldn’t be ignored. Try to avoid wearing cotton underwear. You want to wear undergarments that are made of performance fabrics that are breathable and quick drying, keeping moisture away from the body preventing bacteria growth.
If you prefer to wear fitness shorts, pants or tights with a built in panel then don’t wear underwear at all. Wearing underwear will take away the benefits of the performance fabric.
Obviously active wear for women is not the most important issue. The fact that you are exercising happens to be. What you’re wearing to workout in however is significant when exercising comfortably and effectively. Comfort, non-restrictive, performance fabric and undergarments are essential. And don’t think you have to be a size five; there are wonderful plus size workout clothes for larger women too.
Don't let your health and fitness wear sabotage your workout routine making you uncomfortable and distracted. Remember, feeling your best starts from within. Exercising will make you feel good about yourself and dressed properly will make you feel even better.
