When it comes to exercising and leading an active lifestyle, we’ve got you covered. Here at QALO, we pride ourselves on our commitment to encouraging everyone to create a lifestyle full of adventure, activity and fun. Whether it’s in the design of our durable silicone rings or the tips and suggestions we offer here on our lifestyle blog, we know that our impact makes a difference. But, if you’re new to working out, or maybe you’re returning from a break, or even if you’re a seasoned pro looking for something new, you might be wondering what are the best clothes to wear while working out. Here are some of the best workout clothes we know you’ll love! What you wear when you work out matters. Re-wearing workout clothes that are full of sweat, bacteria and grime can cause you health issues. Skin rashes, infections and even diseases can all happen if you don’t wear the proper clean workout attire. Finding the right clothes for your body, exercise preferences and climate is an important part of living an active lifestyle! Tops 1. Comfortable sports bra: For many women, finding the right sports bra can seem like a major chore. Above all, it’s important to find one that fits comfortably, especially if you’re doing more high-intensity workouts. Comfort and support are key when finding a sports bra you like. Remember — you’re wearing it for an hour or so, so it needs to fit you well. Consider shopping for your sports bra at the same place you buy your regular bras if you wear them. 2. Lightweight long-sleeve shirt: A lightweight long-sleeve workout shirt is a great investment, no matter your climate outdoors. Covering your skin in lightweight, moisture-wicking fabric can help to keep your skin free from harmful UV rays in the sunlight. Since skin cancer is the most common cancer around the world, it’s important you take steps to protect your skin, even when working out. These days, most athletic gear is built to keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer — even the long-sleeve shirts. Work Out in Style: Shop Our Silicone Rings Bottoms 3. Stretchy leggings: Leggings that allow you to stretch deeply without tearing or splitting are a must for your workout gear. Bonus points if they have a pocket that zips! That way, you can put your phone safely in your pocket and wear your wireless headphones when working out. Of course, if you’re in your own home or a private space, leave your phone out and use speakers to blast whatever motivating playlist or podcast you listen to while working out. 4. Pair of shorts. A pair of shorts is necessary for everyone when working out. Whether you wear basketball length shorts or shorter running shorts, a great pair of workout shorts will only ever do you good on your active lifestyle journey. Try to find a pair that won’t tear within a couple of washes and which have a durable liner inside. Shoes 5. Sneakers appropriate for your exercises: It’s imperative that you find the right sneakers for your exercises. Yoga needs a different shoe (if at all) compared to walking, and walking needs a different show than running. The shoes you wear while working out will not only affect how well you work out but can also have a huge impact on your foot health. Wearing the wrong shoes can set you up for injury. No one wants that! 6. Laces that don’t untie: Did you know there are shoelaces that don’t untie out there? That’s right — our no-tie laces are the perfect gift idea for athletes, no matter what style of exercise they prefer. Perfect for walking, running, climbing and cycling, our no-tie laces are the best choice for everyone. Accessories 7. Headband: Keep your hair out of your eyes and catch sweat before it rolls down your face with a headband! Headbands are one of the favorite workout accessories we offer because they’re perfect no matter what exercise you’re doing. 8. Silicone ring: Replace your metal band with one of our silicone rings! Durable, flexible, moisture-resistant and affordable, use our handy ring size chart to ensure you find the right size for your silicone ring. 9. Smartwatch: Sure, it’s not *technically* a piece of clothing, but it makes a difference all the same. You’ll realize just how much better you work out and have a glimpse of your most accurate exercise statistics with a smartwatch. Plus, it’ll help to ensure that you don’t miss important calls or texts and keep you notified if your heart rate gets too high!
