3 Workout Apparel It never fails to amaze a person whenever he finds himself in a specialty store, particularly sports apparel, and a long array of clothing and accessories is laid out in the open ready for the able buyer. There are several sporting apparels for specific sports such, as fitness exercise, equestrian, yoga, and golf. All of these are readily available in the market. For other sports apparel, such as mountaineering, surfing, and rafting, they can be found abundantly all over as well. Several sport apparels include rafting vests, caps, and batting gloves. To get a more vivid picture and idea, here are a few items we have listed down for you. Golf apparels are found in practically any sport specialty store. This type of apparel typically includes a t-shirt with trousers. Here, the most vital factor that golfers are mostly after is comfort. One very popular golf wear is the chino. There are also various caps and hats with different kinds of designs that are available. For a number of golfers who prefer a more outlandish gear, the same can also be easily found. Another type of sports apparel is that used for running. Clothes for this type of activity are commonly made with cotton since this material retains moisture, thus avoiding the occurrence of friction and reduces the probability of premature chafing. Included in the running getup are your tights, running shorts, and, of course, your cotton socks. The nice thing about choosing your gears and outfit for running is that you can also use them in gymnastics and aerobics. The most important thing to remember is to only choose the correct size and proper material. One kind of apparel that must be carefully chosen to suit the weather and certain climates is the athletic apparel. If this type of apparel is not carefully selected to suit climate and weather changes, it actually causes a rather significant blow on the athlete's performance.

4 Equestrian gear is all about boots and breeches. Casual equestrian apparel would be matching riding breeches and a plain t-shirt. Most equestrians should ideally choose an outfit that they would feel their most comfortable in when riding. Last is the yoga getup. Yoga is all about flexibility and movement, so you should try to find something that is loose enough to allow smooth, easy, and comfortable movement. There are also a lot of designer yoga outfits available in several specialty yoga stores. The most common thing people into yoga wear are unitards and Capri pants. Essential Workout Apparel Wearing proper workout apparel is important in anyone's exercise program, plus, if you are wearing some stylish stuff, it makes working out a bit more fun! Aside from that, the proper shoes can be important to the structure of your entire spine! There is all sorts of information on the latest in exercise apparel. They are not creating clothing that actually pulls the sweat away from your body. These can be much more comfortable to work out in than regular clothing. For heavy cardio workouts, this is sometimes recommended by certain experts in the fitness industry. Another school of thought, much of the time used by boxers, is to work out in clothing that makes you sweat even more. You can get a neoprene waist band that targets the waist area for increased fat loss in that section. They haven't actually proved is this works, but, I do know that some martial artists and fighters use these techniques to this day. Another technique they use is to rub the skin down with Vaseline in the

5 spots they are wanting more fat loss. They also will wear pants that are basically made of plastic, which creates more sweat. So, combined with the Vaseline and the plastic pants, it creates A LOT of sweat. I have tried this, and it's definitely not the most comfortable way to workout. I also wouldn't recommend it unless you are working with a qualified, certified fitness professional. My most preferred workout apparel is of course the designer stuff! Who doesn't want to look completely fabulous while exercising? There are some great designs in workout gear that is very comfortable to wear. I like anything that is a bit loose fitting. I am extremely active, and don't want to be restricted in my movement from my clothing. This works well for any sort of kickboxing, boxing, or core workout routines. Shoes can be one of the most essential part of your workout routines. When working out, many times, it starts with our feet. If our shoes are off, it can throw our entire body alignment off. It can start to cause problems in our hips, then in our lower back, and on up the body into our shoulders and even our neck. Improper footwear can also cause plantar fasciitis. This is extremely painful. So, better to go to a professional store and get the proper shoes for your workout routines! Gym Workout Clothes If you want to start going to the gym then you will need the right sort of gym workout clothes to ensure that you are comfortable and fashionable. There are several different brands, colors, styles and prices to choose from and which ones you choose will be your personal choice and budget.

6 Going to the gym is a fantastic way to lose weight and get fit and if you want to go often then you will need to have the correct workout apparel. Depending on how often you intend to go to the gym will determine how much you spend on the gym workout clothes. You need to ensure that they are loose fitting and that they are fabrics which will keep you cool. You need the moisture to be taken away from your body when exercising and certain fabrics will do this easily. Cotton is often thought of to help with the moisture but in fact it can become quite heavy when damp and this can in fact hinder you in the gym. Lightweight cotton can be worn as your workout apparel and this can help you to remain cool and dry. You need to consider what gym workout clothes you can afford as some of them are very expensive and if you are only using the gym once or twice then you do not need to spend a fortune. You also need to consider when you are aiming to use the gym as this will determine the style of clothing necessary. If you are visiting in the winter then leggings or jogging bottoms will be preferable over shorts. All of the workout apparel needs to be loose and not tight fitting as this will stop your movements and not allow you to move the gym equipment easily. You need to ensure that you buy good quality trainers and socks which will help your feet not to rub on the trainers and your feet to become sore. Good quality socks will keep your feet dry, blister free and comfortable for the whole time you are in the gym. All women need to consider buying a good quality sports bra as well as this will offer good support when exercising in the gym. Whatever gym workout clothes you decide on they need to be what you like. You should never buy clothing of any sport because you feel that you should or need to. Although you need the workout apparel to be comfortable and long lasting it should also make you feel good when wearing it. If you want to exercise often then you should consider spending more on your workout apparel as it will last longer. Good quality clothing can be washed often and will not lose its shape or style. You won't have to replace your gym workout clothes often because they are looking worn, faded and badly fit.

7 If you look and feel great when you enter the gym then you are more likely to have a fantastic workout. Going to the gym is a great way to lose weight and ensure that you are keeping fit and healthy. Important Things To Remember When Looking For Workout Gear Choosing the right workout gear is very important. The clothes you need to wear should provide more comfort when doing your routine. This will help you enhance your performance when working out. The first thing you need to consider is getting the right size. Make sure the fit is not too tight or loose. Other than this, there are more things you need to consider. To give you more ideas, here are some guidelines when looking for workout gears. The "breathable blends" When looking for workout clothes, choose the materials that can wick or draw away moisture from your skin. This is very important especially for those moderate to advanced workouts where you sweat a lot, as

8 evaporating sweat is what cools down your body. Most athletes prefer synthetic blends because of its ability to "breathe." Avoid using clothes made of cotton. These can retain moisture against your body. Use clothes made from polyester, spandex, or nylon. Choosing the right fit The clothes you need to wear should allow a free range of motion. It should not "pinch" or overly restrictive. Avoid using clothes with too many straps or those that chafe under the armpits or inner thigh areas. These things can disrupt you when working out. For activities such as Pilates or yoga, stretchy, fitted fabrics that wick away sweat is your best choice. Look good, feel good Other than comfort and function, you should also consider style. You can always look good by choosing the right fitness accessories. Instead of wearing oversized clothes, look for simpler but stylish clothes. Most women today prefer wearing colorful transitional pieces, which they can wear in and outside the gym. Search online for more fitness accessories you can use. Some items you can find are hooded jackets, jogging pants, running skirts, flared pants, and air cool jerseys. Choosing the right footwear As in any other sports, you need to find the right shoes for your needs. Ask your instructor for some recommendations. Most athletes today prefer cross-training shoes when going to the gym. This is because they provide the best cushion and traction when working out or running on inclined planes. It is also advisable to choose the right size to prevent common injuries. This should also come with a comfortable pair of socks. Considering your safety Your safety should always come first. Anytime you run or bike outside, consider wearing bright, reflective clothing. Look for safety gears such as helmets, knee pads, and elbow pads. You should also wear gym gloves when lifting dumbbells or doing your bench-press.

9 Workout clothes: C hanging seasons Hot season - During warm summer months, make sure to choose the fabrics, which allow your skin to breathe and wick sweat away. Wear clothes that are cool and comfortable, and allow you to move freely. Cold season -You'll need to dress warmly when it's cold outside, but keep in mind that you'll be working out. Dress in layers you can remove. Keep seat-wicking fabrics on your inner layer, and put an insulating layer on top. Always cover your head, ears, and hands to protect them from cold. The End
