Wear according to different seasons

If you are planning to exercise outdoors or play sports, you have to be very careful in choosing the right set of activewear. Keep these tips in mind when dressing for outdoor exercises:

*Hot Weather– During summer, choose such fabrics that allow your skin to breathe freely and absorb your sweat easily. Choose clothes according to your comfort that allows you to move freely.

*Cold Weather– When it’s cold outside, dress warmly. Dress in layers as it will keep your body warm while you workout. Wear sweat absorbing clothes on your inner layer and put an insulating layer on top of that. Properly cover your head, hand, and ears to protect them from the cold.

*Rainy Weather– Nothing can spoil your outdoor workout session than water splashing all over the road or garden. Wear a jacket or an outer layer that protects your skin from rain or dusty elements.

Get the right fit

To make sure that your workout clothes fit your body and the workout that you have planned, consider these tips for a better workout-

*Always wear clothes that are loose and comfortable. But if you are running or biking, avoid wide legs or loose pants because such pants can get tangled up in the pedals or your feet and may lead to accidents.

*For yoga or pilates, stretchy, fitted fabrics that wick away sweat are a good choice.

*Wear such clothes that don’t come in your way of the activity.
