What should be avoided?

The main mistake when choosing workout clothes is to buy things that are not your size and hope that you will soon lose weight or get better. There is no need to neglect comfort for the sake of dubious savings.

Another mistake is to take too loose clothes for heavy workouts. Such equipment will not give your muscles the necessary support. Different types of training require different things.

How do I care for my clothes?

In order for clothes to keep their shape and decent appearance longer, do not neglect washing. If you don’t have time, you should at least rinse things with water after exercising. The sooner you do this, the better, as the odor of sweat can be absorbed into the fabric. It is better to wash workout clothes with liquid means. From the abrasives of powder, it wears out faster, and special impregnations are washed out.
