Choose the right sportswear and get the most out of your training!

After a hard workout, your whole body hurts and you are tired. But you also feel absolutely fantastic! This is due to endorphins, the happy hormones that movement releases. How you feel after exercise is influenced by a number of factors such as diet and drinking during the day, the quality of sleep or the level of stress we are currently experiencing. How we feel after sports can also have a significant impact on the clothes we wear for training.

We bring you advice and recommendations for sportswear for the gym or for group classes, which will not ensure that a really demanding training session will turn into a walk in the rose garden, but they will make you feel much better!

Stay dry
Some materials wick sweat away from the body, while others absorb moisture. When it comes to playing sports, you should choose mainly from the first group - sweat evaporates better with the help of such fabrics and your body will not overheat as much.

The unit in this regard is nylon. It is a very soft material with a silk texture, which dries quickly. Nylon also wicks away sweat well, helps it to evaporate easily, and its long life is also ensured by its resistance to fungi. In the TIMME collection, nylon spandex is added, thanks to which the models do not restrict movement and fit like a second skin.

Put a stem of cotton
Cotton is an absolutely great material when choosing casual wear. However, it is not quite suitable for sports during which you sweat a lot. T-shirts or pants made of this material, on the other hand, absorb sweat, so you will probably overheat and get cold again very quickly after the activity. And materials that do not breathe are not a good idea either, i.e. where the basis is either rubber or plastic.

Choose according to season and activity
You know the saying that there is no bad weather, only bad clothes. But while we associate it more with being outside, it also applies to exercising indoors. If you are heading to a yoga class where the main goal is flexibility or stretching your aching back away from the computer, you will definitely appreciate long leggings, a sweatshirt and warmer socks.

But if you are aiming for HIIT, spinning or the treadmill, for example, comfortable shorts and a top will suffice.

Size does not matter
If you had to buy only one piece of clothing for exercise, your number one choice is a high-quality sports bra. Even if your cup size is not C or more. The reason for this is the fact that the breasts are supported by only two weak structures: the skin itself and ligaments, the so-called Cooper's ligaments. A good sports bra will provide support, prevent breast and back pain, and limit their movement during exercise.

You can choose from the already mentioned sports bras or choose a sports top with breast support. The basis should be wider straps, some tops also have removable padding, thanks to which every woman can choose what suits her. For example, the TIMME Seamless Skin sports top meets all the above parameters. The sophisticated cut with a push-up effect made of 90% nylon and 10% spandex will also support you during the most demanding sports activities. You can choose from a large number of colors and cuts.

Small, big women
Until now, you might have thought that there is only one type of sportswear that suits everyone. But that is definitely not the case. Each type of figure has its own specifics, which can be picked up thanks to the right cuts or materials. For example, the most common type of figure, the pear, suits tops and T-shirts with wide necklines that visually widen the shoulders. Light colors are also more suitable for tops, while trousers or leggings should be in darker shades.

Sportswomen with larger busts prefer darker T-shirts with prominent seams that visually slim the waist. Prints or various cutouts or details in other parts of the top than the bust will draw attention away from the large neckline. Struggling to shed some pounds? Look for shapewear and sportswear, some can take up to one ready-to-wear size. Asymmetrical tops and high-waisted leggings with wide elastic are also good choices. Thanks to their great fit, they are perfect for every figure.
