The best gear for your active lifestyle – words Alexa Wang

It can be difficult to find the free time to exercise in our busy daily lives. From work to family life, we can find every excuse not to wake up early and get some workout.

However, simply understanding that it can be highly beneficial should be enough to get us going. Exercise is not just good for our bodies but it’s good for bettering our state of mind as well.

So, once you choose to begin a workout routine, you should be properly equipped for your active lifestyle. There are a few things you should pick up before you start that morning jog or head out to the gym after work. Make sure you have everything ready for your workout before you break a sweat.

Proper Running Shoes

It is often said that you learn to walk before you learn to run: either way, you will need a good pair of shoes to help you go the distance. Running shoes are the most important piece of workout gear you can have, and you will need to invest a bit of money in them. Whether you head to the sporting goods store or a specialty shop, that ideal pair of shoes isn’t easy to find.

A great pair of running shoes should fit your feet well. They should also fit the type of exercise that you are engaging in: whether it be basketball or cross country, brace your foot for the hard work that your body will be doing. Do not choose quality running shoes based on your favorite color or brand, but how it fits your foot and improves your workout. Which shoes you choose to run with can greatly affect your chances of success.

Comfortable Clothing

Workout clothing is much more than a price tag. If you are a beginner in the running or Crossfit world, you may be shocked by how much workout clothes can cost. However, there are good reasons to pick up this clothing sold with a specific purpose in mind. If you are unsure of where to go, try out your local sporting goods store – an expert should be able to provide more info and help you choose the best clothing for your particular passion.

Invest in a quality set of compression tops and bottoms. It may seem more comfortable to use a baggy t-shirt, but with compression tops and shorts help to control moisture and even keep you cool while you exercise. Studies have shown that compression clothing delays soreness in order to make it more tolerable post-workout, and the constriction of blood vessels helps make a workout more effective.

For women, the sports bra is a vital. Any woman who has attempted to exercise has immediately appreciated the invention of the sports bra. Remember, the sports bra is not meant to be aesthetic: if you have a larger chest, a sports bra keeps you cool and comfortable. A quality sports bra should be able to withstand several washes, several meaning well into the 70s.

Good workout clothes are built to last. If your compression top is wearing out after the 8th or 10th wash, you may need to think about putting more money into your workout gear. It is not to say that it is an expensive activity, but quality workout apparel is a must.
A good workout can do so much for us: stress relief, a confidence boost, and a more positive outlook on the world. It can be the pinnacle of your day, or something that helps you wake up and handle life. Regardless of why you work out, make sure that your gear matches your passion.
