Yes, I know, uniform is stretching it where fitness is concerned, but I have a fitness uniform that I wear and I think many people do. Your uniform doesn’t have to have a name tag or a specific color scheme, but it does need to put you in the right mindset for your fitness routine. In general my uniform consists of:
- Shorts – I prefer shorts to pants when I am walking or working out because I get very hot, very quickly. Pants can increase my body temperature and if I am sweating over much, they get soaked through and that’s a really uncomfortable feeling. In winter time, I may wear a pair of light pants for outdoor workouts in order to avoid chills
- Sports Bra – No matter what workout I am doing whether it’s an outdoor session of power lawn mowing, bicycle riding, strength training or yoga – the support of a sports bra is great as well as the cooling off factor because there’s not a lot of dripping sweat
- Tank top – I prefer tank tops to t-shirts in part so I can see my arms as I isolate muscles and also for the cooling down factor
- Light weight ankle socks are better than thick fold down socks for heat control around my feet and ankles
- Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes that support my arches are the final component of my fitness uniform
I’ve worn this type of fitness uniforms for three plus years now and I can honestly tell you that when I put this uniform on – I am already working my way into the right fitness mindset. I can feel my body gearing up and I am looking forward to my workout. I know that a couple of times that I have gotten into my workout uniform and my workout has been delayed – I get all antsy waiting to get started on my workout because I am dressed in my workout uniform and ready to go.
