Must Have Workout Gear

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at IUP chapter.

A new semester means a new year for many people, and what better way to start the year off right than with healthy habits, like exercising? You don’t always have to look like you just got out of bed while you work out, though. Check out some of these cute pieces to wear for your next workout session!

1) Nike Pro Shorts

Who doesn’t love a fun colored pair of shorts to stand out in when going hard at the gym? These shorts come in a variety of lengths, colors, and patterns and feel as though you aren’t wearing anything—giving you the freedom to run, walk, jump, squat, and all around kill your workout! The Dry-FIT fabric helps wick away sweat keeping you dry and comfortable and the flat-seam construction helps prevent any chafing.

2) Nike Pro Hyperwarm Compression Tights

As the colder weather approaches, you want to make sure to stay warm while exercising outside. The Nike Pro Hyperwarm Compression tights are perfect for a chilly autumn night run. The Dri-Fit fabric includes thermal insulation, keeping you sweat free and warm enough to prevent you from giving up on your workout. Just like the Nike Pro shorts, these tights are compression-like, giving you a wider range of motion and a snug, comfortable fit.

3) Underarmor Sports Bra

Is it just me, or doesn’t everyone feel better about themselves when they’re wearing a cute pair of underwear or a cute bra? A good sports bra is needed, especially when participating in moderate to fast paced cardio. Check out some of these styles of Underarmor brand sports bras. Find a style that supports your body type and go from there!

4) Polar RS300X Sports Watch

What’s a more accurate way to calculate your fitness level than using a watch? The Polar RS300X Sportwatch not only tells time, but calculates your calories burned, heart rate, speed, distance, and even has a GPS installed! There’s not better way to motivate yourself than viewing your progress using the activity tracker on the RS300X Watch. If you’re serious about fitness, then this watch is for you!

5) Hydracoach Water Bottle

The Hydracoach water bottle is one of the most intelligent water bottles out there. This water bottle calculates your personal hydration needs, tracks your fluid consumption, paces your drinking throughout the day, and actually motivates you to drink and reach your water goals. Sometimes we get so busy we nearly forget to drink until we realize how thirsty we are, and thirst is actually an indicator of dehydration. Grab one of these new Hydracoach water bottles and you’ll reach your daily goals each day!

 
 
 
Hey everyone! My name is Tabitha and I'm currently a junior at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Growing up with a bodybuilding father and a twinkie/brownie loving mother, the topic of food always ricocheted off the walls in my home. Living with two people who followed two different lifestyles sparked an interest in food, which led to my passion of nutrition and choosing the major of Nutrition-Dietetics track. When I'm not online scoping out new recipes and health articles I can be seen lifting at the gym, online shopping on my porch, or enjoying dinner with some great friends.
