How To Dress for The Gym.


Besides the work out,being at the gym needs you to make an effort on your looks because you are not the only one there.When choosing your gym outfit remember the following tips :
  • You should be comfortable and confident at all costs.Don't pick clothes you are not okay with.When your confidence is down,you tend to avoid movements and your gym session becomes another boring place to be.
  • Pick clothes that allow good air circulation during the work out especially if you sweat a lot.Clothes made of cotton ,polyester, spandex, or with mesh ventilation panels are a good choice.Jeans and nylon clothes trap moisture in your body and cause discomfort.
  • Avoid baggy T-shirts and oversize shorts.They make you look too effortless and sometimes give the impression of you being a reckless person.Whether in shorts or trousers,go only for well fitting ones.
  • Invest in a well fitting sports bra.The gym is not a place to move gently;you do a lot of jumping around and moving from one machine to another.If your chest is not well supported you will find it uncomfortable to do your work out especially in the presence of many people- coz hey,they can't keep their eyes shut for your sake.
  • Tie your hair in a neat ponytail or a braid.You can add glamour to that by using a nice ribbon with clear beads or even you high school tie.Long hair should always be tied for a more comfortable work out.
  • Leave your jewellery in the changing room or at home.Things like rings,bangles and long chains will limit you when it comes to handling machines.Some rings and bangles can even cause you injury if they get entangled with the machines.Besides that,it is very uncomfortable when you are jumping or running and a chain keeps hitting your face.
  • Choose gym costumes with colours that are not easily stained.Grey and white T-shirts should be avoided especially by those who sweat a lot.It gives a very bad impression of you after the work out if you have yellow circles of sweat around your armpits.Blue and black shades are the safest to go by but if you are not much of the sweating type,you can opt for vibrant colours such as yellow,pink and green.
