There is no single outfit that fits all occassions. When you think about going to gym next morning, do you also ponder about what to wear? Well, if yes, you have come to the right place where you will find all your answers about the Gym outfits or apparels you need to wear. Well, we do agree that when it comes to gyming and exercise, your actions matter the most. However, the clothes that you wear influence the ease with which you can perform your exercises. Also, When you look good, you feel good and when that happens, you perform better. So, here’s a guide on how to choose the right exercise and gym clothes and accessories. and the Top 10 trendy gym outfits or workout apparel in India for women
Choosing Outfit based on the type of workout
Every work out is different and so what you wear also kind of differs in some way. Based on this, choose a workout dress that supports your goal. Don’t be under the impression that you should be careful about clothing only if you go to a gym. Even if you work out at home, the right clothing or dress is extremely important.
CARDIO, AEROBICS & ZUMBA
These three forms of exercises, although different, focus on one essential principle i.e. burning of calories by enhancing oxygen consumption. While aerobics and cardio largely involve running, cycling, swimming, walking to bring about calorie burn; Zumba uses dance to do the same.
All these routines require rapid body movements and make you sweat like crazy. So, your workout costume should be such that it allows easy movement and does not get sweaty and sticky:
Top: Most of us go for soft cotton T-shirts for exercising as they are cool and comfortable. However, cotton, being a good absorbent, holds on to your sweat becoming heavy and sticky. So at least for these heavy rhythm exercises, cotton is not a great choice. Go for lycra or nylon based tees as they are light, fit well and do not hold sweat. Spandex, also called as lycra, is a polyurethane fabric that is very elastic and durable. It is popularly used in gym and fitness apparel.
Bottom: Ensure that the bottom is not too tight as that would restrict your movement. Also, do not wear too baggy a trouser as that can get caught in the instrument causing you to fall. Cotton, lycra and nylon track pants are highly preferred. Off lately, leggings have emerged as a good bottom wear for exercising. Three fourth, full lengths or shorts; you can pick anything as per your comfort level.
Bra: It is very important to support your breast to avoid discomfort and more importantly, pain. Wear a well-supported, full cup sports bra that gives you a firm hold. You may go for a slightly padded one as sweating causes the t-shirt to cling to your body, highlighting your curvy structure.
Shoes: It is wise to be picky about your exercising shoes. Go for flat soles that give a good grip so that you do not loose balance while exercising. Also, ensure that you wear shoes that feel comfortable enough without causing unnecessary stress to your joints. Sweating a lot will definitely make your shoes smelly. So rely on canvas shoes as they are washable.
YOGA
Yoga focuses on influencing the organs within the body to promote health and is therefore is less intense as compared to cardio and weight training. Most of the yogic stances focus on stretches. Keep in mind the following things while choosing exercise apparel specifically for yoga.
Top: Yoga requires a lot of bending and stretches. Hence, it is better to go for a top that does not interfere with your movements i.e. avoid too loose or tight tops. Avoid having long loose sleeves. Yoga does not make you sweat heavily, unless you are into power yoga. However, go for a material that keeps you cool.
Bottom: Most stances require stretching and bending your legs in different directions. Choose a material that offers freedom of movement without being tight or baggy. Stick to narrow bottoms. Leggings, yet again, are a great choice for yoga. You can also go for specially designed yoga pants that give you ultimate durability with flexibility. Go for full length bottom or three fourth, depending upon your comfort.
Bra: Yoga does not involve rapid or harsh movement but with all the bends and stretches, your chest will be burdened. So it is always preferable to wear a sports bra. You do not need one with extra features, a normal sports bar will also work here.
Shoes: Yoga does not involve rapid movements and you are usually confined to the yoga mat. Hence, you do not need shoes for yoga.
WEIGHT TRAINING
Weight training is hardcore physical exercise that focuses on muscle strength and development. Weight lifting, bench press, shoulder presses, leg press, dumbbell raise, weight squats etc. are some of the exercises performed during weight lifting.
Top, Bottom and Bra: The apparel requirement for weight training does not differ much when compared to cardio. You can choose lycra, nylon tees that fit well and do not absorb too much of sweat. You can choose from legging, capris, track pants or shorts for an ideal bottom. You need to use a good hold sports bra as lifting weights will put a lot of pressure on your chest.
Support: As you will be lifting loads, it is important to support your joints. It is advisable to wear elbow, wrist and knee bands while weight training so that you do not over exert your joints. Choose bands that are highly elastic and put appropriate pressure on your joints to avoid causing any sprains or pains when in use for a longer period of time.
Shoes: Your balance and grip on the ground is vital for weight training. Your entire weight is on your feet when you lift weights. Hence, your shoes should be really strong and also feel comfortable to avoid causing stress to your joints Some instructors advise to go for shoes with slightly elevated heels. That small elevation gives you a boost while lifting weights.
It is rare to come across a person who indulges with only one form of exercise. A person doing cardio with also get into weight training; a yogic might also go for cardio and likewise. It is not possible to have a separate gym dress for every form of routine. Hence, we need a more universal approach. We therefore saw a unique trend in the last year when it came to gym dresses or apparel and accessories. Check out the Top 10 Trendy Gym Outfits of 2016 for Women in India. These gym outfits are versatile, comfortable, durable, pocket friendly and super stylish.
