Fit Tip: Dress for success

January 2, 2019

Wearing the right clothes for a workout is an important aspect when it comes to performing your best. Technical fabrics help you move freely and keep sweat at bay, but wearing the appropriate clothes will also keep you from being distracted by your outfit. Here are some tips for finding the right clothes for your favorite type of exercise:

Running: Clothing depends on the conditions of where you’re running, but regardless, you’ll need running-specific shoes. The best way to find the right shoe is to ask for help at a store that specifically sells running shoes. They’ll be able to analyze your gait, among other things, to figure out which type of shoe is best for you.

At the gym: First and foremost, you should be comfortable, but it’s also important to choose functional clothes that give you the right support. Constricting cuts and flimsy sports bras make anything from TRX training to plyometrics circuit a real pain.
