The Key to Winter Workout Success: Winter Gym Clothes

Lifestyle

When it comes to exercising in winter, it’s not just the physical warm up you need to worry about. You’ll need to keep out the cold weather, in order to make you feel comfortable as you work out. That’s why, we’re here with the guide to winter gym clothes.

Essential Qualities

Let’s start with the essential must-haves. Whether it’s baltic or blistering hot, you are going to want these three features to be found in every piece of gym wear for women.

• Support

• Quality

• Fit

Support is non-negotiable. If you are working out and exercising your body, it’s important to have clothes that will aid that movement, not hinder it. That means finding gym clothes that have added stretch, compression fabric, high-waists, and built-in support.

Similarly, you are going to want quality products that will stand the test of time, and gym clothes that genuinely fit your body. These three features are the starting point to getting a good gym set, whether for winter or the seasons beyond.

But for winter specifically, these are the essential elements to look out for in your gym set:

• Thickness

• Full length

• Easily styled

Winter gym clothes need to give the warmth to tackle outdoor exercise, whilst offering breathability to still tackle the sweat. It’s about having thick, yet breathable/sweat-wicking material that will give you the best of both worlds.

When it comes to going full length, it’s a no brainer. It will give the coverage you need to keep out the cold, whilst helping to better regulate your temperature.

Having workout picks that are easy to style is the way forward. Mainly because, there is nothing that preps you for a winter workout more that layers. Layering your fits for your exercise is essential.

Layering Up

Working out in the winter can be a balancing act when it comes to being the right temperature. Go too thick with your clothes and 10 minutes into your routine, you’ll be flopping over from heat exhaustion. Equally, dressing for summer will mean you’re too freezing to even get going.

Whether your exercise of choice is running, biking, or if you just attend a cold gym, you need the perfect outfit to handle both the cold and the warm. You’ll know that it does take long to warm up when working out. Before you know if you’ve gone from shivering to sweating. So, getting prepped for both is the key to your winter workout success. Therefore, the answer is layers.

If it’s particularly cold, and you’ve opted for wearing womens sweatpants or a womens tracksuit, you’ll want the layers to take off once it gets warm. If you are in a position where you can slip some thin leggings underneath your joggers, that could be a good idea. However, we can’t emphasise enough how quickly it can get warm.

That’s why, a full-length pair of leggings, and layering up your top half might work better. Get yourself an oversized hoodie or oversized sweatshirt. This cosy oversized layer will provide the warmth when you need it, allow for breathability, and is easy to take off and tie round your waist when the time comes. Underneath wear a simple sports top and you’ll have the perfect outfit for all your winter workout needs.
