What Ladies Should Wear To the Gym

Ladies Ladies Ladies.......

Just as fashionable you are going out to the clubs and the work world, you should do the same at the gym. After all image is EVERYTHING.

I've seen some of my ladies doing their thing within being fashionable at the gym, but unfortunately there's a few that are looking a little homely.... C'mon ma.... you better than that. PRESENTATION PRESENTATION PRESENTATION.....look good for yourself. Looking good at the gym makes you want to do more( trust me I know, and others agree).

Underwear

Before you start purchasing tank tops and yoga pants for your workouts, you need to head to a lingerie store. Purchasing a well-fitting sports bra can mean the difference between a solid workout and a painful experience. Visit a store where you can be professionally measured for a sports bra and try on a variety of bra styles before you choose the one that's right for you and your particular fitness applications. Move around while trying on the bra, bending over and jumping up and down to ensure that it stays in place.

Tops

While in the past oversized shirts and sweats were the rule at the gym, the more modern gym calls for better-fitting tops. In certain types of gym, such as a yoga studio, tighter clothes are requested, since it gives instructors a better idea of your posture and form. Look for tank tops and slim-fitting clothes made from performance materials that wick away sweat to help keep you cool and dry at the gym. My whole thing is that sloppy gym clothes shouldn't be allowed in the gym. The reason why so you can better see your bodily flaws, the more motivated you'll be to work on them.

Bottoms

Choose your bottoms based upon the type of exercise you'll be doing once you're at the gym. Women have a wide variety of gym bottoms to choose from, including shorts for cycling classes, cropped leggings for yoga and stretch pants for Pilates and general exercise. Look for pants that stay put and have an adjustable waistline for a more personalized fit. Purchase a few different styles and wear them to the gym; you'll soon be able to choose which type of pants you like the best.

Hair and Makeup

It's understandable that when heading to the gym, you want to look attractive and presentable( after all you gotta look good to get that man). If you must wear makeup, choose sheer, light foundation that won't clog pores. Remember no too much, you don't wanna look like a clown.

The Significance of Exercise Clothing

                      

Types of Exercise Clothing

There are as many types of exercise clothes as there are sports and activities. Choose attire that is designed for the activity you do. Try on the clothing and do some bending and stretching to make sure it will be comfortable to move in. Your workout clothes should be flexible while allowing your skin to breathe. You will most likely want to dress in layers for working out outdoors so you can remove clothing as needed when you warm up. Your outer layer should help you stay warm while warming up and cooling down, and your inner layers can be sweat-wicking to prevent you from getting too hot during your workout. When exercising outdoors, also take the weather into consideration, with clothes that will keep you shielded from the elements, including the sun.

Clothing Material

There are a variety of materials used for exercise clothing, which can offer benefits ranging from breatheability to extra warmth in cold weather. Choose clothes with moisture-wicking fabrics that will keep your sweat away from your skin, helping you stay dry and preventing chafing. Moisture-wicking fabrics also help prevent hypothermia in winter, as sweat that stays on your body can turn to ice in cold temperatures. You can find moisture-wicking clothes by looking for synthetic fabrics such as polyester and spandex, often marketed with terms such as "Dri-FIT," "CLIMALITE" and "sweat-sweeping." Avoid 100-percent cotton clothing, as it will get soaked from sweat. You can also chose fabrics with UV protection.

Athletic Shoes

It is important to get shoes that are designed for your sport or activity. If you are a walker, for instance, you will need supportive shoes for walking, whereas if you are a runner, you will need shoes with support but that are more lightweight. Do your homework and research the shoe options for your sport. Take your exercise intensity, duration and frequency into account as well. For example, if you are a marathon runner, you will need more supportive shoes than a middle distance runner, who would require lighter, faster shoes; and you'll need to change out your shoes more often, as shoe soles and support wear out over time.

Sports Bras

Sports bras can offer support and comfort while you exercise. As with other workout clothes, choose sports bars with some synthetic, moisture-wicking components. Make sure your sports bra is the right size for your chest and bust measurements, which you can determine with measuring tape or by being measured at a bra shop. If you have a large bust, look for bras with extra support with features such as reinforcement stitching and fabric, full cups, thick bands and fabric that is low in elasticity. If you want to avoid flattening your bust, on the other hand, you can find sports bras with padding or cups to help you avoid the "pancake" effect of flatenning your bust.

Movement

Wear loose clothing during physical activity so you have the right amount of movement to correctly perform the exercise. This will give you the most out of your exercise and possibly prevent injuries. For instance, if you wear jeans and try to stretch, you won't be able to push your body as far as if you wear loose clothing. Loose clothing is also more comfortable and it is also important to feel comfortable during physical activity.

Confidence

You also want to choose clothes that make you feel self-confident. The better you feel in your clothes, the more likely you will be to feel positive about exercise and want to continue doing it. 

Shoes

Shoes are extremely imperative for physical activity, especially for high-impact exercises such as running. Most stores sell specialty sneakers for different types of exercise, such as running, cross-training and basketball.
