5 Signs You Need to Replace Your Gymwear
That feeling when your favourite gym t-shirt or leggings that have been with you from the start of your fitness journey don’t fit the way they used to be? Just as you have changed over time, now it’s their turn to change! Worn-out gymwear doen’t only affects your look but can even hamper your performance, comfort & the confidence you get when you wear that proper fitting gymwear. Still not sure if it’s time to say goodbye to your favourite gym clothes? Here are 5 signs that your activewear needs a total refresh!
It has lost its stretch or elasticity
If your leggings sag around your knees, or your sports bra doesn’t fit you the way it used to be, it is a major sign. Gymwear is designed for you to move with you. Once the elasticity is gone, it will not offer the ample support you require during workouts, which will eventually lead to discomfort & injuries.
It has lost its functionality
Your gymwear should move with you, support you to the fullest & keep you dry all day long. But if your gymwear doesn’t support like it used to, it’s time to make a refresh.
You see holes, piling or faded prints
Visible wear & tear means your activewear is done doing its job. Your leggings are see-through in broad daylight, or you see piling on your sports bra band, it’s the perfect time to toss them & treat yourself with some new gymwear
You feel uncomfortable in it
If your straps slip down while working out, or your leggings cause irritation or chafing, your gymwear is doing more harm than good. You should be more focused on reps rather than fixing your outfit.
You don’t feel confident while wearing it
The way your outfit makes you feel matters a lot, especially when working out! If your gymwear doesn’t empower you or motivate you, upgrade it now & make a switch to something comfortable.
