There are general rules for selection for everyone - the materials should absorb sweat well and not irritate the skin. Preference should be given to easily ventilated fabrics - natural cotton fibers cope with this task perfectly. However, fitness clothing should fit the body properly and allow you to do exercises, so the best choice would be combined materials. For example, cotton with elastane. But synthetic polyester is no worse.

For the cold season, you will have to choose a warm option. You should not come to the gym frozen and stiff. Sportswear should warm and protect your muscles from injury. If it is too light, you risk getting sick after training, because you will end up in the cold warmed up. Multi-layer options are definitely something to focus on during this period. Light sportswear with a lining that retains heat and absorbs moisture is also suitable.

Tips for choosing equipment for training

For crossfitters and those whose training consists of heavy bench presses, in addition to standard sportswear, it is worth choosing a compression set. It absorbs moisture well and will save you from skin irritation.

To reduce the risk of getting caught on something, injuring yourself and your partners, you should not buy clothes with small elements - laces, fasteners, rivets. For the same reason, sweatpants should not be too long

Avoid shorts with loose legs, opting for tighter options if you are doing back exercises. If the program consists of jogging, weightlifting and dumbbell presses, loose shorts will be quite appropriate.

Shoes should have a hard, durable sole so that your body is stable during the exercises. Only fully closed options with good cushioning are allowed. Doing exercises barefoot or in slippers is prohibited.

If you are choosing a T-shirt, shorts, or pants for training, it is not only their appearance or composition that is important, but also how comfortably they will sit on you. You should choose them exactly according to size, so that training is comfortable and convenient. The lighter they are in weight, the better - nothing should hinder your movements.

Personal hygiene and the preservation of all property in the gym are also things that should not be forgotten. Therefore, men should not exercise with a bare torso or excessively bare legs on benches and exercise machines - when doing exercises, you leave sweaty prints on the equipment. It would be better to choose options with medium-length pants, and T-shirts with moisture-wicking inserts.
