There is little in this world worse than finding out your favorite leggings don’t pass the squat test.

Are you envious of people who manage to get to the gym at 6 a.m. and work out before you have even opened your eyes? How do they do it? Well, they have a nighttime routine, which requires them to go to bed early and be up early and refreshed ready to exercise. Having a routine can help you fall asleep around the same time every night, making waking up early less of a chore and more motivating. Here’s how to create a nighttime routine to help you get up early.

Mediate or Stretch 30 Minutes Before Bed Time

Put your phone on do not disturb, turn off the TV, and start relaxing your body and brain. This is a great time to meditate or do some light yoga stretching. It will help get your body and mind ready for sleep, not racing about what you just saw on Instagram.

Prepare Tomorrow’s Breakfast

Make sure you have something easy but filling for breakfast before you work out and overnight oats are a great option. They take a matter of minutes to make and can be taken with you.

Choose Your Clothes

In order to save extra precious minutes of sleep time, choose your sportswear the night before. Having to make decisions in the morning is hard, so make it easier on yourself and just set out the clothes you want to wear in the evening. You won’t need to think about it.

If your workouts have a little bit of everything, you need sneakers that are versatile. This is where the cross-trainer sneaker comes in. These sneakers grip the floor and have sufficient traction, stopping you from sliding around. Here are the best cross-trainer sneakers for your workouts.

The Cloud X 3

The Cloud X 3 sneakers are great for all types of workouts because they are really supportive and have high shock absorption. This brand behind the shoes creates sneakers that are light and flexible for strength training as well as cardio.

Hylete Circuit II Cross-Training Shoe

The Circuit II Cross-Traning sneakers by Hylete are the most supportive and they come with three insoles that you can swap out depending on what activity you are doing. They’re really comfortable for every workout and have cushioning in all the right places, protecting your feet at all times.

No Bull Wild Rose Trainer

No Bull sneakers are really popular in the cross-training community and they come in a variety of styles and colors. You’ll even want to wear them out of the gym. There’s a guard plate which is a 360-degree shield around your foot, so they’re a little bit stiffer than other sneakers, but just as versatile.

Believe it or not, the topic of laundry is a controversial one in the fitness community. People tend to have very strong opinions about how often you should wash your gym clothes. On one side, there are the purists who believe that all athletic wear should be washed after one use—period. On the other side, there are those who think that overwashing your gym clothes is unnecessary and can even be damaging to that expensive activewear.

So, who’s right? How often do you actually need to be washing your gym clothes? Let’s talk about it.

Shirts

If your gym shirt isn’t directly touching your body, because you’re wearing a sports bra underneath it, or if you didn’t really sweat much during your workout, it won’t hurt to rewear it once or maximum twice. However, if you got drenched in sweat during your workout, go ahead and wash after one wear.

Pants

If you did a fairly low-intensity workout like walking, relaxed hiking, or chill yoga, you can rewear those pants. Otherwise, like with tops, if you sweated a lot, straight to the hamper they go.

Sports Bras

Would you rewear the same underwear twice? As an undergarment, your sports bra should be washed after each use, unless you really didn’t even break a sweat at all.

Socks

Do you really have to ask? Wash those puppies as much as possible, people.

Whether you’re the kind of person who likes to spend their free time online shopping or the type who only buys the functional stuff that you have to to get by, we all have to buy workout clothes to wear to the gym if we want to exercise. So here are some suggestions for what to look for the next time you go shopping for exercise clothing.

Sweat Wicking

A lot of people have a tendency to work out in an old t-shirt, but if you’re going to be really investing in hard workouts, that just won’t cut it. It’s incredibly important to look for fabrics that can wick away your sweat so you’ll be as comfortable as possible, and so you don’t show too many sweat stains if that’s something you care about.

Fit

Workout clothes don’t always fit the same way that your regular clothes do. For example, you might need leggings with a lot more compression and a tighter fit so they don’t ride down when you’re running. So when you try on workout clothes, don’t forget to do some jumping jacks and squats to make sure they fit right when you’re in motion.

How They Make You Feel

We don’t know about you, but we just can’t wait to go to the gym when we have a cute new workout outfit to show off. So to help motivate you to exercise and make you feel good about yourself, try to buy gym clothes that you’re excited to put on your body.

Taking good care of your workout clothes and getting rid of that unpleasant smell can be a real challenge sometimes, especially for people who work out every day. Here are a few effective tips for removing those bad odors from your gym clothes.

Baking Soda

Baking soda is one of the ingredients that are great for getting rid of all those unpleasant odors coming from our workout clothes. Just add baking soda to your laundry to remove the smell, or soak them in a baking soda solution overnight.

White Vinegar and Lemon Juice

White vinegar and lemon juice are also effective at absorbing bad odors and killing bacteria. Add a little white vinegar or lemon juice to your wash or soak your smelly clothes in a white vinegar solution for only 15 minutes.

Don’t Sit Around

It can be tempting to stay in gym clothes after you’re done with a workout, but this is exactly what makes them even more sweaty and smelly. Changing clothes after a workout and washing them immediately is the best way to prevent bad odors.

You have clothes for the office, outfits for the weekend, and even loungewear to feel good when watching Netflix on the sofa, so why not put the same amount of care into your workout closet? It all comes down to the details—you want to make sure that your leggings aren’t see-through and that your sports bra not only looks good but is comfortable and supportive. Spending a bit of money on your sports wardrobe can really motivate you to get to the gym. Here are four tips on how to make sure you stand out and feel good about yourself when working out.

Find Your Sports Bra

Start by finding a bra that suits you, is comfortable, and you supports you for the type of exercise you intend on doing. There are so many options out there so try on as many as you can and bounce around a little to see how supported you feel.

Make Sure Everything Fits Well

As long as you are comfortable in your fitness clothes that’s what’s most important. Keep in mind what activity you are buying for and pick the correct items for that. You want to feel good so find a style that suits you and stick to that.

Choose the Correct Sneakers

Always make sure to buy the correct sneakers for the activity you intend to do. If you want to run then buy good running shoes that support you and protect your body from injuries. If lifting weights is your thing then look into shoes that are made for weightlifting.

Material is Important

Gone are the days where you workout in an old t-shirt—look for gym wear that has technical fabrics that are made to wick away moisture and keep your body at a comfortable temperature.

It’s time to talk about this – how often should you wash your gym clothes? Should you do it every time you break a sweat or can they last a few workouts before a wash?

There’s no right answer that everyone should stick to, but there are tips and guidelines that will help you get the most out of your gym clothes and feel comfortable in them every single time.

“How often you wash activewear is totally dependent on the individual—the amount of activity, the amount of sweat you produce, personal preference,” Maggie Oakley of Smartwool told Women’s Health Magazine.

During the summer when it’s hot (or if you live in a hot climate), you can get away with drying your gear between two wears and postpone washing for a few days. Your sweat alone doesn’t stink up your clothes; it’s bacteria that develop in damp environments. However, after two or maybe three wears, you should throw your gym clothes into a washing machine.

Ask any gym rat what fabric you should avoid while working out, and they’ll probably say cotton. Despite its easy accessibility, training in 100% clothes isn’t recommended, and here are a few things you should keep in mind before buying gym attire made out of this material.

Cotton Clothes: Pros

Cotton is not all that bad since it’s a breathable material that won’t make you sweat a lot during the workout. It’s also extremely affordable and accessible, and it won’t give you trouble when it comes to maintaining it since it can be washed with the rest of your clothes.

Cotton Clothes: Cons

Unfortunately, the list of cotton’s downsides is much longer. If you feel heavy and wet during your exercise, that’s probably because your cotton clothes absorbed all the sweat.

Cotton clothes also tend to lose shape pretty quickly, so you’ll need to replace them much sooner than you were planning. Sweat-wicking synthetic fabrics are a much better option, but you can also wear cotton in combination with other materials if you can’t imagine living without it.

Taking good care of your workout clothes and getting rid of that unpleasant smell can be a real challenge sometimes, especially for people who work out every day. Here are a few effective tips for removing those bad odors from your gym clothes.

Baking Soda

Baking soda is one of the ingredients that are great for getting rid of all those unpleasant odors coming from our workout clothes. Just add baking soda to your laundry to remove the smell, or soak them in a baking soda solution overnight.

White Vinegar and Lemon Juice

White vinegar and lemon juice are also effective at absorbing bad odors and killing bacteria. Add a little white vinegar or lemon juice to your wash or soak your smelly clothes in a white vinegar solution for only 15 minutes.

Don’t Sit Around

It can be tempting to stay in gym clothes after you’re done with a workout, but this is exactly what makes them even more sweaty and smelly. Changing clothes after a workout and washing them immediately is the best way to prevent bad odors.

You have clothes for the office, outfits for the weekend, and even loungewear to feel good when watching Netflix on the sofa, so why not put the same amount of care into your workout closet? It all comes down to the details—you want to make sure that your leggings aren’t see-through and that your sports bra not only looks good but is comfortable and supportive. Spending a bit of money on your sports wardrobe can really motivate you to get to the gym. Here are four tips on how to make sure you stand out and feel good about yourself when working out.

Find Your Sports Bra

Start by finding a bra that suits you, is comfortable, and you supports you for the type of exercise you intend on doing. There are so many options out there so try on as many as you can and bounce around a little to see how supported you feel.

Make Sure Everything Fits Well

As long as you are comfortable in your fitness clothes that’s what’s most important. Keep in mind what activity you are buying for and pick the correct items for that. You want to feel good so find a style that suits you and stick to that.

Choose the Correct Sneakers

Always make sure to buy the correct sneakers for the activity you intend to do. If you want to run then buy good running shoes that support you and protect your body from injuries. If lifting weights is your thing then look into shoes that are made for weightlifting.

Material is Important

Gone are the days where you workout in an old t-shirt—look for gym wear that has technical fabrics that are made to wick away moisture and keep your body at a comfortable temperature.

It’s time to talk about this – how often should you wash your gym clothes? Should you do it every time you break a sweat or can they last a few workouts before a wash?

There’s no right answer that everyone should stick to, but there are tips and guidelines that will help you get the most out of your gym clothes and feel comfortable in them every single time.

“How often you wash activewear is totally dependent on the individual—the amount of activity, the amount of sweat you produce, personal preference,” Maggie Oakley of Smartwool told Women’s Health Magazine.

During the summer when it’s hot (or if you live in a hot climate), you can get away with drying your gear between two wears and postpone washing for a few days. Your sweat alone doesn’t stink up your clothes; it’s bacteria that develop in damp environments. However, after two or maybe three wears, you should throw your gym clothes into a washing machine.

Ask any gym rat what fabric you should avoid while working out, and they’ll probably say cotton. Despite its easy accessibility, training in 100% clothes isn’t recommended, and here are a few things you should keep in mind before buying gym attire made out of this material.

Cotton Clothes: Pros

Cotton is not all that bad since it’s a breathable material that won’t make you sweat a lot during the workout. It’s also extremely affordable and accessible, and it won’t give you trouble when it comes to maintaining it since it can be washed with the rest of your clothes.

Cotton Clothes: Cons

Unfortunately, the list of cotton’s downsides is much longer. If you feel heavy and wet during your exercise, that’s probably because your cotton clothes absorbed all the sweat.

Cotton clothes also tend to lose shape pretty quickly, so you’ll need to replace them much sooner than you were planning. Sweat-wicking synthetic fabrics are a much better option, but you can also wear cotton in combination with other materials if you can’t imagine living without it.
