Workout wear 101

Wearing the right gear when you exercise can make a big difference. Clothes that are uncomfortable might stop you from finishing your workout. But clothes that feel great may keep you moving longer!

 

•  Choose moisture-wicking shirts and shorts. Cotton can absorb sweat, leaving you feeling wet and weighed down.

•  Invest in well-fitted workout socks. Socks that shift can cause blisters. Cotton socks can also cause chafing and discomfort.

•  Don’t buy tight shoes. As you exercise, your feet may swell. Make sure your shoes have enough room for your feet.
