5 Pieces of Workout Wear for Every Type of Sweat Session
As much as it pains us to say it, those tight-in-a-good-way pants that keep your badonk secure during a run might be too constrictive for a yoga class. Yes indeed, when it comes to breaking a sweat, one style does not fit all types of workouts. So, whether you’re hitting the pavement, gym floor, pool, or a yoga mat, you need exercise gear that will help you kick ass, not hold you back. We spoke to Christa Calitz from Fifth Element sportswear to bring you 5 of the best gym gear choices for all kinds of workouts.
