1. Say good-bye to Saggy and Baggy clothing!!
Who would you rather look like running down the street?? |
Tighter fitting clothing that conforms to your body shape allows for more comfortable movement during work outs. These types of garments are known as Under Armour and are created specifically to enhance performance by decreasing fatigue, speed up recovery time, increase blood circulation, and transport moisture for the body regulating body temperature. (We also look cute in them :))
Companies such as Lululemon (one of my favorites!) have totally nailed the "Perfect fit" trend by creating a large assortment of cuts for us, similar to finding our perfect pair of jeans.
Shopping tip: While shopping for your form fitting clothing look out for Spandex and leggings/tights that are NOT tube-like. These will not provide you with the above qualities. Try them on to make sure they form to your body.
On a budget? : A couple great places to find legitimate gear are Nordstrom Rack, Marshalls, and Nike Factory Outlets!
2. Moisture, Moisture, Moisture!
Moisture Wicking Technology |
Moisture-wicking fabric simply means that the fibers move moisture away from the body allowing for sweat to evaporate. In comparison, cotton fabrics easily absorb our sweat causing discomfort to our bodies. Wearing moisture-wicking fabrics allow us to work out much more comfortably and much longer!
Shopping tip: Look at the labels and be sure that it states that it has a cotton/synthetic blend, or a purely synthetic one such as: Lyra, Spandex, and Nylon. The fabric should have a soft hand so take some time to try these garments on!
3. Sweaty no more...
Most activewear nowadays have Antimicrobial technologies that prevent the growth of bacteria and minimizes the gross, sweaty body odors we get during work outs. This technology exists both in cotton and synthetic fabrics, however, it is more apparent in synthetics.
4. Always On-the-Go
It isn't news that nowadays we find ourselves rushing to get workouts in either before, after, or in the middle of our busy work days. That's why one of the trends I've found is that we want our workout garments to be heavy-duty! We need stuff that can handle our hectic lifestyles and look good enough to pull off as an everyday outfit!
Shopping Tips: Look for pieces that have details and that have interchangeability! For ex: clothing that can transition from pants into shorts. Many designers and athletic wear companies have been trying to help us out by coming out with garments that have many pockets and details. Who wants to carry their keys, cell phones, and ipods during a work out??! Another important thing to think about is investing in a great, sturdy tote/carry all bag. Lululemon has amazing bags with moisture-wicking technology in the lining, lots of pocket and zipper detailing, and not to mention incredibly fashion forward design!
