For both exercise activists and occasional exercise participants, hitting the gym, like all female endeavors, requires great attire. If fashion were irrelevant in the world of fitness, tennis shoes would not come in the variety of colors and styles that they do. When we feel good in the clothes we wear, regardless of the occasion, we walk a little higher because of the confidence that we radiate from within. And who among us doesn’t want that extra push when exercising? In this note, we reflect on the top 10 reasons to look your best in the gym.
1. Motivation and confidence!
Sportswear is no exception to wearing nice clothes and feeling good about it. Feeling good about yourself from head to toe is one of the many benefits of a great outfit. When you mix it with exercise and your physical health improves, imagine how confident you will be! Having so much extra motivation about how you’ll look even better in your new pants will keep you going for that extra set of reps! Achieve your goals by rewarding yourself with a set of fitness sportswear!
2. Function
Fashion aside for a moment, today’s sportswear brands offer many new perks. Companies use fabrics that absorb sweat from your body and keep you dry during your workout. Sportswear fabrics breathe wonderfully and move with your body, allowing you to feel fresh and your clothing to move effortlessly as you do so. Plus, sportswear fabrics are often colorfast, so wash after wash the colors stay vibrant!
3. Flattering
We all have areas of our body where we would like to have a little more “hiding”. Sportswear can be quite flattering. Most of the high-end brands are made from a tight stretchy material that actually makes you look slimmer. When paired with darker colors, it will immediately create longer, thinner and more flattering lines.
4. You never know …
You never know when fate is going to play a hand, so always be prepared! You could meet the man of your dreams coming off the elliptical. The gym is a great place to meet someone who shares similar interests.
5. Congratulations
The gym or yoga studio is a very social place where a chat usually takes place. Looking your best is a sure way to attract those endless compliments! Who among us does not love to receive a compliment?
6. Motivate other gym goers
We all know that guys in the gym work out more when a girl with a nice workout walks by in clothes. By looking good, you are motivating those guys a bit more.
7. Competition
Let’s be honest here ladies; We are all competitive in one way or another. Who can run faster, who can do that yoga pose a little deeper, and who can climb more stairs. No matter the venue, the best dressed is always one of the best contenders. Who wears the best sportswear?
8. Save time
Looking good in the gym means you will look good on the way to the gym and immediately after the gym. Whether you’re running an errand earlier or meeting the girls for a drink afterward, a well-placed gym outfit can save wardrobe changes without sacrificing fashion.
9. Consider the alternative!
Now exercising is not like going to the Oscars; We didn’t spend three hours on our hair and makeup before, but it still takes some effort. How can you get that extra boost of self-confidence when you’re wearing a stained sweatshirt and dripping sweat stains?
10. You deserve it!
You play hard and you work even harder! It’s okay, and you even need to pamper yourself once in a while. It will do you a lot of good to allow yourself to enjoy something that not only makes you feel great, but also helps your health!
Looking good in the gym is about achieving ultimate personal greatness. When we look and feel our best, we do the best we can. Performance is altered by our emotional and mental state. Surprisingly, something as simple as a sports shirt and matching pants will have a huge impact for the better. Always be the best you can be, inside and out.
