How to choose the right sportswear for a workout?

Spring is slowly approaching, and with it, more and more exercisers will be looking for alternatives to exercise in the fresh air. Exercising outdoors has many benefits and provides a unique experience that can positively affect both body and mind. Are you starting a workout or want to take your workout to another level? High-quality and appropriately chosen clothing will provide you with comfort, adequate support and elasticity during exercise, while the quick-drying effect of the material will take care of sweat removal. Learn with us how to combine quality, functionality and exercise trends when choosing clothes.
 

ADAPT CLOTHES TO THE SEASON AND WEATHER
Flexible and high-quality fabrics that wick away sweat are the ideal choice for a workout. Considering that the exercise takes place outside, it is necessary to take into account the season when buying clothes.
During warm summer days, choose fabrics that are light, breathable and wick sweat away from the skin. If it is wet or windy, wear another functional layer that will protect your skin, for example a waterproof jacket.

In cold weather, dress so that you don't have to take off your clothes after a while of exercise and keep in mind that you will warm up quickly. For the inner layer of the outfit, choose clothing that wicks away sweat, wear the so-called insulating layer. Don't forget your hat and gloves.

COMFORT IS THE KEY WHEN WORKING OUT
Workout clothes should be designed so that your training is as comfortable as possible. Nothing should pressure you anywhere or be too loose. There is nothing worse than when you are stretching and your pants fall down or your shirt rises every time you bow.

BREATHABILITY AND ELASTICITY
One thing is certain during the workout, you will sweat a lot! However, the goal is not to prevent perspiration, but rather to divert it away from the skin and still feel comfortable. Your body must stay dry. Appropriately chosen materials are used for this. You can find different types of fabrics on the market, the most commonly used are breathable synthetic fabrics that "evaporate" sweat so you stay dry.

For example, such cotton is preferred in the production of clothes precisely because it is a natural material, it is very pleasant, but it cannot remove sweat from the body, on the contrary, it absorbs it into itself. If you sweat during a workout, the skin stays moist until you take off your clothes. And that is not pleasant and of course it does not add to the aesthetics either.

That's why workout clothes are made of elastane, polyamide and polyester. These are high-quality materials that wick away sweat, adapt to the figure and allow maximum freedom of movement. Our advice is that during such a dynamic exercise as a workout, avoid non-breathable fabrics that vaporize and thus maintain a high body temperature.

CORRECT FIT AND SIZE
Someone prefers looser clothing, someone more fitted, so that they can monitor the work of their muscles during exercise. Choose clothes so that you feel comfortable in them. The goal of sportswear is that you hardly feel it on yourself, which is why we at TIMME make sportswear exclusively from materials that are like a second skin. Avoid buying pieces that are a size smaller because the idea that you will soon lose weight is not always as motivating as you think. In addition, smaller clothes will prevent freedom of movement, which will annoy you during exercise, and the printed skin from leggings, shorts or bras will probably not add to your self-confidence. During the workout, you need to perform, for example, lunges or squats, and at the same time, nothing should hinder you and nothing should strangle you at all. That is why it is necessary to try on the chosen piece with the help of several basic exercises, thanks to which you can quickly test whether the clothes fit you even when moving.

If you're shopping online, choose brands that have a size chart with their products, so you can choose the right size based on your measurements. If you still can't choose between two sizes, try contacting customer support with a question, or order both sizes and return the one that doesn't fit. In TIMMA, you have up to 14 days to exchange or return goods, which allows you to order several pieces in different designs or sizes and decide which one to keep only after trying them on.



QUALITY
Any sporting activity is not without falls, bumps and other minor injuries from time to time. All these accompanying phenomena are then also signed on your clothes. Cheap pieces don't last long, so you're forced to buy another pair of shorts, leggings, T-shirt or sweatshirt.

High-quality sportswear stands out for its long service life. It is durable and also represents a kind of protection against scratches, abrasions and wounds. In the end, you will pay much less for a quality piece than for cheap things that you have to keep changing. Such a mindset is also preferred in terms of sustainability.

NEON COLORS
Neon colors radiate energy and excitement. They can diversify the design, thanks to which the piece of clothing appears dynamic and lively. Neon colors are ideal for expressing a sense of excitement about movement. They immediately attract attention with their intense brightness and saturation. They are perfect for people whose goal is to stand out or make a strong and immediate impression.

If you're not a fan of bold neon colors, don't buy them just because they're trendy or on sale. No one has ever messed anything up with an "all black outfit" or an outfit based on earthy or soft pastel colors. You wear the clothes, not them! Do not fall for trends at all costs, unless you identify with them, keep your own timeless minimalist style.
