Fitness Wear to Inspire Your Summer Workout
From indoor exercises to outdoor routines, these activewear looks will help invigorate your summer workouts.
Whether you prefer to workout indoors or want to soak up some sunshine while breaking a sweat, summer is the perfect time to renew your fitness goals. We love having options when it comes to getting active to reinvigorate our routines. And equally important are the clothes we wear when exercising, because the proper attire can help make or break a workout. Ahead, we’re sharing what to look for in your summer fitness wear and how to ensure your outfits do (some of) the heavy lifting for you.
Take it outside
Exercising outdoors can provide a huge boost of energy and enthusiasm, but there are a few things to be mindful of. Sure, the sun is a great source of vitamin D, but you always want to protect yourself from harsh UV rays. Sunscreen is essential and hats and stretchy leggings are great for additional coverage. Since you’re bound to work up a sweat, opt for sports bras and tops constructed from moisture-wicking fabrics to help keep you dry and cool. Our most important tip? Don’t forget to bring a water bottle to ensure proper hydration.
Keep it indoors
Whether it’s arm day, leg day, or a full-body circuit kind of workout, you’ll want women’s gym apparel that’s designed for training. Stay away from anything too restricting and go for loose and breathable clothing that’s aimed at keeping you comfortable. A boxy tee and running shorts are great options because they help provide ample ventilation, which means you’ll feel fresh throughout your workout. The best part about this combination is that it’s a flattering option for just about anyone.
Workout to hangout
For a studio to a street transition, we’re looking to a lightweight layering piece and sleek accessories to get the job done. Complement your graphic leggings and racerback tank with a stylish mesh jacket that instantly elevates the outfit without hiding the layers underneath. And instead of lugging around a gym bag, use a roomy tote that can hold your workout and daily essentials. Complete the look with a cool pair of sunglasses, and you’re ready to tackle whatever else is on your to-do list.
