The right clothes are more important than you might realise when it comes to exercise. Proper gear that fits well and makes you feel good can have a positive impact on your confidence and self-esteem, which in turn can lead to better focus and motivation during your workout.
When you feel comfortable in your clothing, you are less likely to be self-conscious or distracted too, so you can just concentrate on smashing those workout goals. On top of this, clothes that fit well and provide proper support can prevent wardrobe malfunctions- no one wants an unsupportive sports bra or a pair of bottoms that are going to go see through while you’re sweating it out!
Instead, choose items that are comfortable while still looking great, stylish, flattering and give you full range of movement. Ditch the baggy tshirts and basic black leggings and consider some of the following:
Sexy Sports Bra
A sports bra is an important piece of workout kit for any woman. Feeling secure and supported means you can get on with your exercise without feeling self conscious or causing yourself any pain- but it doesn’t have to be something to hide away. A good sports bra can be teamed up with a pair of leggings or joggers and look sensational as well as being practical. Try on different styles for size; you could go with something super sporty looking or a more elaborate piece with lots of straps and interesting back styles. The more high impact your workouts are, the more supportive you’ll need it to be. So choose a style, shape and colour that suits you, your workouts and personality.
Thigh High Sock Leggings
Forget the basic workout leggings, a pair of thigh high sock leggings is just as practical but look ultra sexy, stylish and flattering too. They’re an extreme tailored fit so will keep you supported while showing off your curves, with the heart shaped back seam accentuating your waist and butt. The seamless style hugs your body and brings everything in, meaning no muffin top or love handles, just a perfectly sculpted silhouette- follow this to take a look.
Cropped Jacket
If you’ve been working hard at the gym and want to show off those abs, what better way to arrive than in a cropped jacket? Ideal for wearing to and from the gym or to any workout class, you’ll always arrive and leave in style. Then you can just unzip and strip down to your sports bra once you’ve warmed up. It’s a cute, trendy and stylish way to add an extra layer if you need one without swamping yourself in a hoodie.
Ultimately, wearing flattering clothes at the gym can create a more positive and enjoyable environment for physical activity, leading to better results. So don’t overlook your gym wardrobe, it’s an important element of your overall exercise strategy. Choose the right pieces that make you look and feel your best each time you go to workout.
