How to choose equipment for sports. Festival "Reebok. Become a man"

Even during physical education lessons at school, we used to do completely different sports in the same clothes. But this is the wrong approach. In order for you to feel comfortable during training, and for your uniform not to restrain your movements and not to chafe, you need to learn how to choose it in accordance with your goals and objectives. We talked to Evgenia Prokopeney, PR-manager of Reebok brand, and found out what you should pay attention to when choosing equipment for different types of physical activity.

Les Mills (similar dynamic workouts)

What it is: A “new wave” that has hit many major sports clubs around the world is Les Mills training. Programs with this name are becoming incredibly fashionable in Russia as well. Les Mills is an international company, which is currently the largest provider of group fitness programs. New Zealand trainers woke up famous thanks to Body Pump – a workout that has conquered millions of people around the world.

How the workouts work: each program is designed by experts from different fields – sports, health, music. Once a season, the music and the set of exercises are updated to keep the participants interested in the program.

How to choose equipment: moisture-wicking fabric will help you feel comfortable during training, and the risk of chafing will be minimized. Do not forget about such an important element of sports equipment as a bra-top. It should react sensitively to every movement and be activated during intense exertion.

Yoga and stretching (similar low-intensity workouts)

How to choose equipment: for low-intensity workouts, choose stretchy and durable fabrics. For example, in leggings made of soft cashmere you will feel not only cozy, but also freedom in every movement. And strong and dense interlock fabric will not show through when stretched, so that stretching will turn into a sheer pleasure.

This is a must: and of course, you need a seamless sports bra with thin straps that won’t slip or twist, ensuring comfortable and stylish support for even the most demanding studio workout.

Sikling

What it is: Cycling is a fun mix of cycling and dance that’s rapidly gaining popularity among fans of interval training at its limits.

How to choose the equipment: it is best to choose the equipment comfortable for you and your body, ideally it is leggings, tight-fitting, but not constricting movements, the top can be both loose and tight. But you should not feel discomfort when moving. It is desirable that the clothes were moisture-wicking, because you will have to sweat a lot.

Boxing, Thai boxing

How to choose the outfit: the cut of the shorts should be loose, thus guaranteeing a relaxed fit and complete freedom of movement. It is important to take care of moisture drainage from the surface of the body. This is where the familiar and indispensable Speedwick moisture-wicking technology comes in. Adjustable laces and Velcro closure ensure a comfortable fit during the most active movements, while the stylish design emphasizes your fighting spirit.

Girls, on the other hand, will find leggings with a high fit and durable but stretchy fabric. It is important that nothing distracts you from the fight, so choose a uniform with flat seams, they prevent chafing and guarantee comfort.

A race with cross-country trials

How to pick up the equipment: modern technologies allow you to avoid overheating and hypothermia, which means that you will not catch a cold and get only positive emotions from the race. Moisture drainage prevents the body from overcooling, and fabric with ventilation and protection from overheating will help you relax after training. As for the top, it is essential that your jacket has moisture and wind protection.

Focus on footwear: sneakers play an important role in running and training for the race. Pay attention to the relief of the sole: aggressive tread pattern promotes good traction on muddy and uneven surfaces, less aggressive relief is suitable for running on asphalt.

Try and choose your own
