Shopping for gym wear

Exercising is beneficial to a person’s body; along with exercising, the proper attire can also be beneficial.
Throwing anything on can be easy, but specific wear for different things can look better and in ways, help more with performance.
 Workout gear usually consists of t-shirts, sweatpants, shoes and shorts.
Although wearing a t-shirt is the most basic and cheapest clothing, Livestrong.com suggests wearing athletic clothing designed to pull moisture away from your body and dissipate it, which helps avoid irritation and rashes. 
A good brand known for keeping bodies dry is Under Armour.
Many athletes wear this brand for working out because along with keeping the body dry, it also adjusts to a certain temperature depending on the item bought.
For example, the Under Armor hoodie is designed to trap heat for all-day warmth, as well as being water resistant, soft, and comfortable and is almost as popular as Nike.
 “I work out in mostly Nike Dri-FIT,” said Eddie Smith, a sophomore Therapeutic recreation major from Las Vegas, NV.
 “If you get it out the Nike store it can be expensive but if you go in to Marshalls you can always find it at a good price and if Macy’s is having a sale you can go into their Nike section and find it there. The material keeps the body cool and you don’t sweat as much. Its very comfortable,” Smith said.
While sweatpants are decent pants to work out in, a person may find thinner and more flexible material that is more suitable for exercising.
Thin material is optional but flexibility is always the way to go when getting fit.
The ideal goal is to get stretchable pants or shorts that move in different ways without hassle.
 “It [the clothing] depends on what type of exercise you want to do and you want to make sure that you can move around in what ever you wear,” said Kenya Magee, freshman Psychology major from Sicily Island, LA.
Getting the right shoes is also important because depending on the work out, a specific type of shoes is needed.
Contrary to rumors, all gym shoes are not the same.
According to livestrong.com, running and jogging shoes are built for forward motion—that is, they’re good for heel strike to toe-off.
They have an emphasis on thicker heels and midsoles with more flexibility in the toe area, and have thicker overall cushioning that allows for shock absorption during impact.
Training shoes are designed for various uses such as weightlifting and kickboxing.
Accessories are different things needed when exercising.
Accessory wear consist of wristbands, headbands, towels, socks, sport watches, types of pads, belts, gloves etc. the good things about accessories is some absorb sweat. Gym accessories are meant to stay comfortable for long periods of time.
Sports watches are good for keeping track of time with their built-in stopwatches and gloves are used for weightlifting.
Baseball players wear necklaces that contain titanium to increase blood and energy flow in which they believe the necklaces improve balance, flexibility and overall performance.  
Shopping for things to wear to the gym can be priced depending on the brand name.
The more expensive brands would be Nike and Under Armour, but cheaper wear can be purchased on online websites like Amazon or eBay.
Some can even be thrifted because even the cheapest gear can be useful for getting started but when used the correct way can be more valuable.
