FASHION +FITNESS: PUTTING TOGETHER THE PERFECT GYM/WORK-OUT OUTFIT

September 5, 2016

Its Monday!! Happy New Week everyone. I’m sure that if you have been on social media over the past week then you must have come across the name Tayena Taylor. She has been trending all week after Kanyewest debuted his video for the track FADE at the VMA’s which held on Sunday. Tayena who starred in the video has got everybody talking and wowing over her amazingly fit post-baby body. Ladies were inspired to up their fit game and guys have been left drooling. So in honor of all things fit I have come up with a few tips for choosing the perfect gym/work-out ensemble, because even though Tayena inspired us we always need a little more motivation when it comes to working out.

Clothes: in picking out your gym clothes, the first thing to note is to pick out clothes that are comfortable. You won’t be able to give your workout your all if you are uncomfortable or self-conscious. And whilst it is easier to just throw on baggy sweats and cotton t-shirts, they wreak havoc on your body in the long run. Pick your clothes in the right size as the right work-out clothes will display movements clearly, protect sensitive skin and wick away sweat.

Get a good workout bra: a good workout bra does the work of protecting the ligaments and tissues in your chest from excessive stretching or stress so you can push yourself without worries. When picking out your workout bra; consider factor like the impact of your typical workout and your general body type. Women with larger chests should opt for bras that have wider straps to provide maximum support.

Ditch worn-out footwear: wearing footwear that is worn out with unglued soles and holes is doing your feet a disservice. Good workout shoes promote correct alignment during exercise and helps reduce knee and foot pain.

So there you have it, now go channel your inner Tayena and get your work out on!!
