You feel better you want to work out more you even have more confidence. And we can tell you that exciting feeling when we get new workout clothes. So, guys, we are going to tell you everything that you need to know about athleisure. 

What to wear when you are working out

When you are working out you want to feel comfortable and to be able to move around. You don’t want to feel uncomfortable otherwise you are not going to want to work out. Now the preference of tightness of your clothes is entirely up to you. Some like to wear skintight clothing while working out and there is nothing wrong with that. It actually makes working out more comfortable. You are able to move around more freely. We also recommend trying some clothing that is sweat resistant, meaning that your shirt absorbs the sweat keeping you fresh but not wet. 

We are going to discuss some of the different work out clothes that you can find. 

• • Shorts- For athleticwear, there are so many different types of shorts that you can choose from. Of course, you have your standard basketball shorts that give more room and are usually longer. But that extra weight of the clothing can weigh you down. We recommend finding a pair of shorts made to work out in. These are going to usually be a little shorter and lighter, making it easier for you to run. You also want to avoid having deep pockets. There is no reason you should have anything in your pockets when working out. This is only going to make it feel heavier for you to work out.
  • T-shirts- Look, it’s plain and straightforward, there are a million different shirt ideas out there. So how can you pick the right one? Well, that depends on your liking. We usually recommend a plain shirt while you are working out. Logos and decals can stick to you more and make it less comfortable for you to work out. When choosing a good workout T-shirt as we said earlier, breathable shirts will be better. You can also get a sweat-resistant shirt to make it more of a dry fit type of shirt. You want something that is going to be lite and something that gives you room to move around. 

• Running shoes- When choosing your running shoe, an essential aspect is going to be comfort. I think you can see the theme here, and it is comfort. But your shoes should be made specifically for working out and having comfortable soles is essential. With running shoes, you can choose from many different styles and colors, so the possibilities are endless. If you want to be extra stylish, buy multiple running shoes so that you can coordinate your shoes with your outfits. 

• Sweatsuits- There are a couple of different types of sweatsuits. Of course, you have your tracksuits, which are usually matching and great for the stylish workout man. But also they have come out with sweatsuits that actually can make you sweat more. Think of a sauna. That’s pretty much what it is. It creates body heat to make you sweat and lose more water. Which means it is excellent for shedding excess pounds. Now with these, we highly recommend that you have water with you as these might make you get dehydrated a bit quicker.
• Joggers and sweats- When working out, you have a couple of different options in the pants category, When you can either choose joggers which has taken the exercise scene by storm. They are the cousin to your typical “sweat pants” but are not as heavy or hot. Usually, you want to choose joggers if you are planning on doing some type of cardio. Again you want comfort; you do not want to get too hot or feel too heavy from the sweat pants. With joggers, you can choose different styles and colors.
