When it comes to working out, many fitness enthusiasts are caught between fashion or comfort.
Hi-Tec believe there is a direct correlation between wearing the correct apparel and performance, and motivation levels and their latest design, The LEO Collection offers full mobility, functionality and support when doing exercise. They share five benefits on wearing the right apparel when working out:
- YOU WON’T FEEL RESTRICTED
Lightweight materials and well-designed activewear should feel like a second skin, ensuring you don’t feel restricted while working out. Exercising in total comfort will allow you to solely concentrate on the task at hand, and workout to the best of your ability. Choosing clothing that allows full range of movement is incredibly important, so when choosing fitness clothing, pay close attention to the design and tailoring, opting for seamless kit which won’t irritate your skin, or rub. - IT REGULATES AND CONTROLS BODY TEMPERATURE
An intense session at the gym will leave you thankful that you didn’t wear that old cotton top, as cotton absorbs sweat easily and retains moisture, leaving you feeling damp and heavy. You should opt for light, breathable and sweat-wicking fabrics which will draw moisture away from the body, leaving you feeling dry and comfortable. - IT CAN IMPROVE PERFORMANCE
High quality, intelligent fabrics work with the body to accelerate performance, withstanding the rigours of intense training to keep you performing at your best. When it comes to improved performance, comfort is again key. You should opt for fitness clothing which is really designed for your chosen activity. If you’re likely to get sweaty, look for sweat-wicking fabrics which draw moisture away from the body and seek out FRESHFIT technology which incorporates silver ions, designed to resist bacterial build up and keep you feeling fresh.”- Advertisement - - IT CAN BOOST CONFIDENCE
Clothing can be empowering in everyday life, and when it comes to working out, contributing to your confidence levels and raising self-esteem. Indeed, there’s even a psychological phenomenon called ‘enclothed cognition’ which suggests that the clothing a person wears can trigger mental changes that positively affect their performance and confidence level. In the simplest terms, when you look good, you feel more confident, so investing in a gym kit which makes you feel the part can help you to feel better in the gym and truly conquer a workout. - IT CAN MOTIVATE YOU
Nothing motivates you to go to the gym more than a new kit. Not only will you feel good, but you’ll look good, and that’s something you want when surrounded by mirrors in the gym.
