Your track record at the gym might be second to none. But how is your gym style? If you look great during your workout, you’ll feel much more confident in yourself. It’ll also give you an extra reason to head out for a workout and show off your new clothes! After all, the gym usually turns into a parade of everyone showing off their ripped muscles and tight abs, so why not turn it into a catwalk too?! Want to know how to look the part in the gym? Here is what you need.
We have all worn protective sleeves at one point to support muscle weaknesses and protect injuries. You can buy them in a range of different styles and colors. Pick one that lets your personality shine right through! Wear a copper knee sleeve as well as one on your arm for maximum impact.
Eyecatching shoes
As well as being super fashionable, your shoes need to be the correct style for your workout. If you are jogging outside, on a sports track, or even just on a treadmill, you need shoes that support your weight. If you test your gait, you’ll know which style of running shoes are best for you. If your feet and legs aren’t exposed to as much impact through your choice of activity, you can opt for a lightweight sports shoe. To find your ideal pair, speak to a physician who can suggest what to go for.
Headbands
If you think headbands were left behind in the 80s, you’re very much mistaken! Lots of gym-goers wear headbands to hold their hair back. Don’t get annoyed by strands of hair falling in front of your face as you’re trying to lift weights or reach your new personal best on the exercise bike. Keep your hair slicked back under a headband. It’ll also save it from getting sweaty!
This one is mainly for all you guys who prefer an outdoor workout. If temperatures dip slightly, you need to keep yourself wrapped up warm. Exercising out in the cold can cause extra strain on your muscles. If you don’t wrap them up warm, you will be increasing your risk of injuring yourself. So always check the weather before you head outside. If it looks a bit chilly, pull on a long sleeve sweatshirt and leggings.
Sports Bra
Ladies, you need effective support for your chest otherwise, you could be giving your fellow gym members an eyeful! In all serious, though, wearing a well-fitted sports bra will correctly support your breasts and reduce aches and pains. You won't do any serious damage if you do not wear a sports bra, but you will be saving yourself from a lot of discomforts! Visit your local sports shop to get one correctly fitted. Bras come in all different styles and colors, so you’ll have no trouble finding one you like. Now you know how to look the part, there’s nothing stopping you smashing all your gym records!
Khloe Kardashian Has The Best Fitness Wardrobe Ever! - @khloekardashian - Train It Right
Dear Khloe,
I thought I had an awesome fitness wardrobe. However my tiny condo only allows me to set up so much. With that said I will admit I am brutally jealous of this closet space but I love it just as much!
Love Train It Right
I am really loving Chyna's style these days! I wear workout clothes everyday and she keeps it stylish with this galaxy adidas leggings and top! Looking good girl!
The Pebble smartwatch, the Kickstarter-funded wearable tech gadget that can hook into your iPhone or Android phone, is hitting store shelves at Best Buy on Sunday.
The Pebble watch comes in five colors, for now the others will only be available through the firm’s Web site, though the red version of the watch will head to Best Buy in August. Picking up a Pebble this weekend will set you back $149.99, but put you ahead of the wearable tech adoption curve.
Lulu Lemon posted a few new pieces today. I am not overly impressed and I feel like their designs are pretty basic. However, their clothes are inarguably very comfortable and fit well for many body types. I just think these designs are basic and nothing innovating.
1/ St. Moritz Jersey
This long sleeve was engineered using moisture-wicking and lightweight Merino Wool Jersey. This wonder fabric helps to keep us warm when we get cold and helps to cool us down when things heat up (you won’t want to take it off). We added thumbholes to this base layer to help keep wrists warm and make layering easy.
2/ St Moritz Sweater
When the snow starts to fall we can’t wait to get outside (although we do love a good glass of wine and a crackling fire). With that in mind, we designed a sweater we knew would be good for both. Breathable and moisture-wicking Merino Wool joins forces with a soft Sweater Knit fabric to give us the best of both worlds. The raglan sleeves and built-in stretch help to reduce bulk and give us the freedom to make moves (on and off the mountain).
3/ St Moritz Jacket
Soft and fuzzy Fleece, water- and wind-resistant Cire fabric and a double-layer collar make this jacket a triple threat against winter chill (and cabin fever). The extra fuzzy arms feel incredible (they are out-of-this-world soft) and help to keep us cozy on the way to and from yoga.
4/ Chalet Keep Your Neck Cozy
Our chunky knit neckwarmer is made with a blend of organic cotton and rayon derived from bamboo and cashmere (yes – it is as awesome as it sounds). This soft and breathable infinity scarf makes it easy to get wrapped up in warming up. Editor’s note: they had me at chunky knit neckwarmer.
