The Importance of Supportive Gym-wear

When it comes to working out we sometimes underestimate the importance of the clothes we wear. If in everyday life the type of clothes we wear only depends on our taste and how we feel, when working out gym-wear can have an influence and direct impact on our health.

Loose fitting clothing is an accident waiting to happen when working out, particularly if your exercising with bikes or other equipment that your clothing could get caught in. However, if your clothes are too tight, they will become uncomfortable when working out, making you sweat more and slowing you down. The best is to wear clothes that fit you properly and that are made from dri-cactive material. This material has a specific finish that keeps you dry while working out. These clothes will allow your skin to breath, avoid having wet clothes and developing skin raches.

Our favourite tights for working out in, would have to be the gym-wear with mesh panel and made from dry-active material. The deep breathing of these leggings means you sweat is almost non-existent. We recommend tights like this for working out in as the tight fabric makes it easier for you to travel faster and further, like the ELLE SPORT Mantaris sleek, mesh panelled sports tight.

In addition to making you sweat, most forms of exercise make your breasts bounce up and down, regardless of their size. Now this isn’t funny, in fact it can pose serious risks to your health.

Our breasts are made up of different layers; fatty tissue is surrounded by skin and fragile ligaments called ‘Coopers ligaments’. Once Coopers ligaments are stretched or broken down, they will begin to sag and there is no going back from this. Investing in the right sports bra is key, especially in the long run if you don’t want saggy boobs. Your sport bra should give you the support you need, not just look like a sports bra and be fancy.

We recommend ELLE SPORT bras as they come with removable pads and have extra tight elastic, which offers the ultimate support. By wearing a sports bra, you can also eliminate that annoying underwire that constantly digs in and is not suitable for workouts.

You can also find extra support in the top you wear. ELLE SPORT have specially designed support vests with an added bust shelf for the ultimate support. You can wear these vests, with or without a sports bra depending on your size. We recommend the Mantaris mesh panel support vest. With Dri-Activ material and a large mesh panel on the back, you can’t go wrong with this vest, it has all the support you need for working out.

Unlike others on the market, we have found that ELLE SPORT swimsuits have tummy control on the front AND the back; when you first put them on, they feel tight but this is just the super suction working its magic!
