My Favourite Apparel – Sports Clothing


My personal preference when looking at clothes for the gym is sports clothing, this is probably because I grew up playing sports and wearing this type of clothing, its something im comfortable in and can get a great workout wearing!

I played football for a really long time, so naturally I like wearing things in the gym that I would wear when practicing or playing football and other workout clothes, such as a well fitting sleeveless shirt, basket ball or workout shorts and as always a good pair of gym shoes! Now like in our previous posts I don’t wear anything too tight ( not very appealing!) or to baggy but a well fitted shirt that allows me to do all the movements I need while keeping safety a priority. Going into the lower attire, im not very big on wearing pants in the gym I believe that shorts are the way to go they allow more movement and you don’t get as hot! Basketball shorts are not extremely baggy nor are they compression shorts, so they work best for me. Last but not least, Shoes! Personally I love shoes and even in the gym I want to have nice shoes, you would be shocked how much a good shoe can help you in certain weight lifting exercises! Try to shoot for something that will allow you to run freely (light) and also something with a hard heel for pushing through a squat!. Here are some examples of what I would wear and what you should try, http://www.underarmour.com/shop/ca/en/mens/new-arrivals

Do you wear the same attire as me? Or something completely different? Let us know what works for you and why you decide to go this route instead of the more conventional sports attire!
