You are looking forFitness clothingthat can do more than just look good? The wrong oneNot only can it be disruptive, but it can also have long-term effects on your health. You should definitely pay attention to these 6 fashion tips to ensure your....
1. Cotton clothing
A good sports outfit is made of breathable and quick-drying material. Functional clothing that transports sweat away from the body is ideal. Clothing with a high cotton content, on the other hand, retains sweat, gets wet quickly and cools the body. This increases the risk of colds, especially in winter.
2. Normale BHs
AEvery woman should really buy one, because a normal bra is not intended for sweaty activities: the material neither breathes nor stretches. In addition, a classic bra absorbs the movements that occur during sportonly half as good as a sports bra. Pain, stretch marks or sagging breasts can result.
3. Schmuck
Jingling bracelets, dangling earrings or necklaces: jewelry not only gets in the way when you're exercising, but can also be really dangerous if you get caught on something or bump into something, for example. Sweat also attacks the metal and can cause it to tarnish. So if you want to protect yourself and your jewelry, it's best to avoid obstructive accessories while training.
4. Everyday sneakers
Even though many sneakers now look like they are real training shoes, most of them are not. WhoIf you run or jump a lot, you should definitely invest in professional sports shoes - only they are made in such a way that they support the joints and give the feet the necessary support.
5. Clothing that is too loose
Sure, sportswear shouldn't chafe and should fit comfortably, but it shouldn't be too loose either. Especially for exercises where precise execution is important (e.g. yoga or Pilates), it is important that the trainer or you yourself can see whether the posture is correct and the correct muscle groups are working.
6. Clothing that is too tight
But the opposite, namely clothing that is too tight, can also be counterproductive in the gym: if the leggings are so tight that you can't do the squats properly, or the sports bra is so tight that you don't feel like you can do the squats properly can take a breath. That's why when trying on something, squat down, briefly do high knees or breathe deeply into your chest and stomach.
7. Inappropriate underwear
Synthetic or non-breathable cotton underwear can quickly become uncomfortable during exercise. Friction, skin irritation and heat build-up quickly occur, especially during intensive workouts. Seamless, breathable sports underwear made from functional materials helps wick away moisture and ensures maximum comfort despite movement and sweat.
Extra tip:Some gyms now also have a dress code. It's worth checking the website before packing your gym bag, otherwise your visit to the gym could end earlier than planned.
