It’s ok to need a little extra push on your way to accomplishing a goal, especially a fitness goal. But what can you do when the motivation to go to the gym is lacking? Instead of reaching down and finding the motivation within, we recommend something else: A cute workout outfit! It feels good putting on a new outfit and it’s an even better incentive to move when you feel good about what you’re wearing.
Looking for athletic inspiration? We’re sharing our favorite workout clothing:
1. You best friend: the sports bra
The sports bra is a girl’s best friend when working out. These special bras are designed to provide support, reduce damage in chest ligaments in case of injury, and give you comfort. Sports bras are a personal item, so your mileage may vary depending on the style. That’s why it’s very important to make sure you try on sports bras and not just focus on the look of it. When shopping for a new sports bra look for comfort, good fit, and supportive straps.
2. Do you really need a headband?
Much like a sports bra, whether you need a headband or not is a personal choice. They help with catching your sweat and keeping your hair off the face. There are different kinds; some thin, some thick. The choice is yours whether you want a thicker headband or thinner as well as what matches your workout set of clothes.
3. A nice pair of leggings
A pair of comfortable and fitted leggings or yoga pants are great for concentration and relaxation while working out. They are probably the most used article of exercise clothing. There are various types of leggings, from high waisted to low waisted, they come in a variety of colors and styles. Leggings are perfect for various exercises, such as jumping, jogging, and running. Wearing comfortable and chic leggings gives you ease in working out, are breathable, and lightweight.
4. Sneakers
Last, but not least, you need a proper pair of sneakers. Your feet are vital for a good workout because they impact everything you do. You do not want to deal with an injured foot or ankle from working out. An injury can discourage you from working out. It is important to try on the shoes to test the comfort of your feet so you can look as good as you feel. Look for the right type of shoe for the right exercise because shoes are designed for specific activities, like running, walking, and weight lifting. Also, look for how comfortable, supportive, and lightweight they are.
