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!

Are Yoga Pants The Best Invention Ever? – The best ladies sportswear

         I ain’t no pig or anything but women have a huge selection of attractive sports clothing and it’s tough for most guys at the gym not to notice.

         As most guys would agree, yoga pants could just be the best invention ever and I feel like that would complete this entire blog post.   But since I’m already typing this out, I might as well say why they are the best ladies sportswear.  If you ask any girl who wears yoga pants, almost every one of them say it’s the most comfortable thing ever.  According to them it’s also very flexible and easy to workout in. Sort of like the Underarmor brand of sports clothing.  Now why do guys like them? Do I really need to divulge into this?

To all you ladies out there, what are YOUR favorite workout clothes?

Top 3 Worst Gym Outfits Ever! – Workout Clothes You Shouldn’t Wear!

Ever wonder what your workout clothes look like during a workout? Here are 3 examples of sports clothing you should never wear while working out at the gym!

While working out everyone likes to think they look fit, and can pull off everything that they are wearing… but what about those once in a while people who just wear something outrageous!!... Here are the top 3 examples of fitness clothing that should not be worn!

       1.    Thigh High spandex shorts with an equally tight sleeveless spandex shirt. Things of this nature should only be worn   

if you are living in California, and going to Golds Gym in

the 80’s. Prime example of people who wear this. < - - - 

2.       All kidding aside, as tight clothing is actually better to

wear in the gym, our next example is extremely baggy clothing! Not only is baggy clothing a safety hazard in the

gym but it also decreases motivation, wear something

that properly fits you and makes you look and feel good!

      3.     Last but not least you should never wear old raggity running shoes in the gym! Shoes can make all the difference and should be taken seriously, a new pair of gym shoes might just change the way you workout forever!
