Getting Active about Workout Fashion

Those who say that you can’t be fashionable while working out are mistaken. There are plenty of clothes and shoes that are available from many companies that not only boost your confidence while working out, but also help you regulate body temperature and make working out nicer. Below are some ideas that will have you looking great while hitting the gym.

Hats

Although there are many people who find that wearing hats can be distracting while doing activities or exercising, there have been many leaps made in the materials and the way that hats are made. A great example is Under Armour’s lightweight and durable ArmourVent hats. These hats have built-in sweat bands made from their Moisture Transport System which pushes moisture away from the body to the surface of the gear, ArmourVent Mesh which offers a large amount of breathability and fast-drying, and Iso-Chill construction to help take heat away from the body for a cooling effect.

Cooling Apparel

Fitness brands are continually developing new innovations to make workout clothes perform better, look better, and feel more comfortable. Temperature regulating clothes are a great way to keep you cooler and dry while working out. This includes the North Face’s new ‘Flash Dry’ technology that has micro porous particles that are directly in their shirts, jackets, shorts, and more. The particles are designed to help evaporate sweat faster than ever to keep you dry and not overheated.

Not only are there many kinds of cooling jackets and tops, but there are also some really great workout shorts and pants that are make specifically for temperature regulation. For example, Columbia the leader in outdoor apparel has a pair of shorts called the Black Beauty Long Sport Short. Not only are they great for stretching, but the shorts also have Omni-Shade protection which acts as a sun screen (UPF 50) and helps keep you cool as well as Omni-Shield which repels water and stains.

Breathable Shoes

The advances made in running and exercise shoes has been extensive, with some companies even going as far as creating shoes that conduct heat away from your skin. The best exercise shoes though, are made out of flexible and breathable material. A great example is from the powerhouse company Nike. Their Flex Run brand of running shoes are made out of a lightweight, durable material that have a webbing system that wraps from midsole to toes, integrating with laces for an adaptive and supportive fit. On top of it all, all workout shoes come in a variety and mixture of dark, muted, or vibrant colors that can go with any outfit.

Accessories

A great way to take charge of your life as well as looking good while doing it is to use activity monitors. Although they are not new to the exercise and fitness world, there have been vast improvements made to these devices. One in particular, the Fitbit Flex, tracks all of your activity including the number of steps you take, the distance you’ve walked or ran, how many calories you have burned, and how long you’ve been exercising. It also keeps track of your sleeping cycles at night and will wake you up silently in the night without waking up a partner. You can also connect it to your smart phone or computer to see all of the data, as well as connecting with your friends so you can compete for some extra motivation!
