AS GETTING SOME EXERCISE BECOMING INCREASINGLY PART OF OUR
DAILY ROUTINES, AMY NORBURY TAKES A LOOK AT SOME OF THE TOP
ACTIVEWEAR PICKS, SO YOU CAN KEEP WORKING OUT IN STYLE
HANDS up if you’ve been religiously tuning into
personal trainer Joe Wicks’ daily PE sessions on
YouTube? Or if your hour-long ‘Boris Walks’ have
become an integral part of your routine?
As lockdown continues, it seems that getting our daily
exercise is becoming more and more of a priority
for everyone, whether that’s working out at home or
getting out in the fresh air for a quiet solo walk, jog or
cycle.
This - for many of us - newfound love of working out
means one thing: our wardrobes could do with an
injection of stylish new sportswear. After all, if you’re
kitted out correctly, it not only puts you in the best
frame of mind to put your all into exercising, but good
sportswear is tailored specifically for the best possible
performance.
And forget the dull grey jogging bottoms of yesteryear;
today you can make a real fashion statement while
you’re pounding the pavements or working up a sweat
in front of the TV.
When it comes to effective exercising, comfort is key.
There’s nothing worse than feeling restricted in your
workout by unsuitable clothing. Opt for leggings and
vests which fit closely to the body for maximum range
of movement and look out for functional materials
which draw sweat away from your body to keep you
dry and comfortable throughout your training session.
A solid sports bra is a must too, whatever your size.
The right footwear is also a must; it’s always best to
get fitted for sports trainers by a professional, but since
that’s not an option right now, do your research so you
can understand exactly what type of shoe you need.
With our wardrobes at the moment eschewing office
attire and fancy going-out threads in favour of a more
casual, comfortable approach, your new, seriously
stylish sportswear is sure to become an instant day-today
wardrobe favourite.
