Things you shouldn't wear to the gym

                                                         Things you shouldn't wear to the gym

Going to the gym can be a thrilling or frightening activity for some, but regardless of your feelings about the gym, wearing the proper attire is detrimental to the success of your workout. Today I will discuss what you SHOULDN'T wear to the gym.

1. Cotton T-Shirts

 

Wearing a cotton t-shirt working out is terrible due to the cotton's poor moisture-wicking ability. Cotton's material usually absorbs sweat and doesn't release it for a long time. This can cause bacteria to build up on the garment and lead to skin irritation. If you want an irritation-free workout, you may opt for a t-shirt containing synthetic materials such as nylon or polyester.       

 2. Baggy Clothes

You might want to avoid baggy clothing if you want a successful workout. While working out, you want to be able to move freely without anything restricting you. Baggy clothing not only restricts motion and movement during your workout but also ruins the human body's aesthetic appeal. Wearing clothing that functionally drapes over you will lead to your success during the workout. 

3. Regular bras

Choosing the right bra is pertinent to the success of a woman's workout. Wearing a regular bra will not provide the comfort needed to complete the exercise. Excessive movement without the proper support can lead to pain in the upper body and shoulder region. A sports bra is the perfect garment for supporting a woman engaging in any physical activity.

 4. Tightly Fitted Clothing

While compression clothing is an optimal choice for a workout, the problem is ensuring that the clothing isn't too tight to the point where movement becomes restricted. We especially don't want clothing to be too tight, cutting off your circulation during the workout. If you do end up wearing compression clothing, you ultimately want to choose something you feel comfortable in during all stages of your workout. 

5. Worn Sneakers

 

Wearing worn-out sneakers can increase the risk of injury you might face during your workout. Used sneakers won't provide the same traction and support a new pair of shoes has. The lack of traction could cause you to slip and injure yourself. The best way to prevent this is to ensure that you wear platform sneakers to the gym and adequately replace them when they become too worn.
