If you have a mental image that every person who exercises wears spandex and sips on smoothies all day, you need to rethink that image. When people start on the road to fitness, they wear comfortable clothing that allows free movement. Spandex is one of those, but not the only one. You might believe they consume only smoothies, rice cakes, and celery. Doing that almost sounds like punishment. Dressing for comfort and movement should be the top priority.
Your clothing should allow you to move freely and keep you cool as you exercise.
The clothing you wear to a gym should be made of the right type of fabric to ensure your comfort. Spandex may be your choice if you need more support and stability when doing strenuous exercises like HIIT or weight lifting. You also need fabric that’s moisture-wicking and breathable. The sweat-wicking material removes the moisture from the inside of the clothing and moves it to the outside where it evaporates so it’s not next to the skin. Breathable fabrics keep you cooler. The top breathable fabric is cotton, which may be why t-shirts are so popular.
You don’t to have drink your meal.
Smoothies are an especially quick way to get loads of fruit and vegetables. They are filling, but not nearly as satisfying as eating a full meal.

The 30-minute workout will build your confidence far more than any clothing ever will. .
- Choosing the best workout clothing is more about how you feel when you wear it working out. You want clothing that provides support without tugging, chaffing, or tightness.
- Focus on undergarments that provide the support you need, such as bras with wider straps. They should be comfortable, easy to put on and remove, and have a good cut and strap style that doesn’t bind.
- If you do replace a meal with a smoothie, add superfoods. Blueberries, one superfood, have potent antioxidants. Greek yogurt adds protein, probiotics, B12, riboflavin, and vitamin D.
- Some workout clothing offers mesh ventilation. Others use modern fabrics that inhibit the growth of odor-causing germs. Always check the label for wickable, breathing fabric that draws moisture and heat away from the body.
