Style & Fashion Tips for Gym Dudes
It’s not uncommon to view going to the gym as being a necessary evil. After all, most people will agree that the gym can be relatively boring at times; especially running on a treadmill. That said, maintaining a good physique is the cornerstone of looking good in the clothes you wear, and should never be ignored. One of the biggest questions that men who are new to going to the gym have pertains to what kind of clothing to wear. Dressing for the gym doesn’t have to be as difficult as many people make it out to be, although you have to wear the right clothes if you’re going to get the most out of your workout. The following tips can help to set you on the right path, and are more than worth taking into consideration.
Avoid The Ragged Old Tee
90% of guys who go to the gym simply through on an old t-shirt that’s loaded with stains thinking this is the best route to take. The fact is, tee shirts tend to be far too loose for wearing to the gym, and don’t allow you to pay nearly as much attention to form as you should be able to. Ideally, you should wear a form-fitted shirt that is made out of mesh-like material, which is exceptionally breathable and can help to keep you cool during a workout. Plus, there’s nothing worse than walking around with stained underarms, and shirts that are made out of the proper materials will help to ensure that this doesn’t happen.
Pants vs. Shorts
When it comes to choosing bottoms for the gym, you have a few options to choose from. Shorts are quite popular, and can help to keep you cool. That said, they can also get caught on exercise bikes and other types of equipment, which can actually be rather dangerous. Sweatpants are another option, although many people find that they make for a hot, uncomfortable workout, and thus ditch them altogether. Perhaps the best option would be exercise pants, which tend to be made out of breathable material that is similar to those found in gym shorts, yet extend all the way down to the ankle. High-quality exercise pants can be more expensive than the alternatives, but their versatility makes them the perfect option for those who go to the gym on a regular basis and need clothing that will suit their needs.
Footwear
There’s nothing more important than wearing the right footwear to the gym. Running shoes are essential for those who spend a lot of time doing cardio, as they can help to ensure that one does not endure a stress fracture at some point. Arch support is essential, and can usually be found in shoes manufactured by companies that have a good reputation for making high-quality sportswear. Functionality is of the utmost importance when it comes to choosing footwear, and should never be taken for granted. Also, it helps to have at least 2 pairs of gym shoes, as rotating will ensure that each pair lasts as long as possible. Interested in signing up for a spin class that will get you’re your body beach-ready in record time? Then invest in some cycling shoes. Not only will they support a smooth pedal stroke, but they will allow you to pull on the pedals (not just push down) which will work your hamstrings and glutes more efficiently.
