You’re rushing to the gym.
It’s 6PM…You walk in and it’s packed.
You literally have to wait in line to use the bench press.
The guy working out finally finishes, gets up and leaves, and there it is….
His puddle of back sweat left for you to workout on.
Seriously?…
Of course, a towel would solve this problem.
But one step further?
Proper gym attire.
There’s etiquette that needs to be followed at the gym.
Additionally, you run into people you know.
Possible business opportunities.
Single men, you’re on the alert because gyms are hotspots for attractive women.
The point is – gyms are social hubs and any public space has a code of etiquette.
Nobody wants to use the sweaty machines after you’ve dropped half a kilo of perspiration on the bench press.
The power of a first impression is applicable in the gym too.
Wearing the right clothing, with the right workout gear and practicing good hygiene can make a huge difference between an enjoyable workout and 60 minutes of misery.
Follow us to know the right way with gym wear!!
#1 Wear Moisture-Wicking Clothing
When you’re working up a sweat at the gym, stay cool and comfortable in moisture-wicking clothes. Workout clothes are designed to keep the perspiration away
from your body.Wear a performance t-shirt that is designed to draw sweat away from your body and to the outer surface.Wicking or performance fabrics are
generally made of polyester and Lycra blends.They cost more than your regular cotton t-shirt, but will last longer, dry fasterand keep you comfortable throughout
your workout.Don’t make the mistake of wearing heavy-weight cotton t-shirts, they tend to hold on to moisture,making your workouts an uncomfortable
experience. Denimshorts will cause chafing, it’s best to avoid them at the gym.
#2 Wear Clothing That Actually Fits
Believe it or not, workout clothing that is too big is functionally worse to wear to the gym.
Clothes that are too loose will:
- Constrict your movement
- Make you look smaller than you are
If you’re a size ‘M’, don’t wear ‘XL’ – you won’t look bigger.
Choose materials (like a nylon-elastane mix) and a fit that gives you freedom of movement. The small percentage of spandex allows for a greater range of
motion during exercise and provides a very comfortable fit without being too tight.
Clothing that is a little more fitted will also give you a more aesthetic appeal. Show off those new years resolutions a little bit. Take pride in the fact that you have
put in the hours, work, and sweat. Avoid the string tanks though
