Confidence is everything. It can take you from dragging your feet through a workout to powering through it with a smile! Let’s be honest: it can be difficult to feel uber confident in grubby workout clothes. That’s why it is so important to find what makes you feel good. To help you feel fabulous during your next workout, follow this handy how-to guide. You’ll love how you look – and how much harder you push yourself, too!

 

Start Every Workout With a Smile

 

Want to look good when you workout? Put on your happy face! Smiling has been proven to increase feelings of happiness…. even if you were in a sour mood before. If you aren’t feeling jazzed about that kettle bell workout, force a smile. It will send a positive message to your brain. So, start every workout with a smile. You’ll look better and get that extra boost of positive energy you need.

 

Pay Attention To Colour

 

A little colour goes a long way. To maximize your workout, choose a workout top or armband in your favourite colour. It will help to boost your confidence, whether you’re in the gym or at home. Something else to think about? Bright colours can make you appear more approachable to others and even impact your overall mood. It’s true! Certain colours are thought to affect the way you feel. Some workout friendly shades to wear include, red, yellow, and orange. Why? These colours are all thought to stimulate the mind and body – and give you more energy.

 

Treat Yourself to Something New

 

Workout clothes can get bland, boring, and worn out pretty quickly. But hey, you’re just working out, right? Wrong! If you want to look good while you work out, you need to come in it with a strong mental attitude. There is nothing wrong with taking a little pride in your appearance…. even if you’re “just” working out. Something as simple as replacing a worn out pair of yoga pants or getting some more comfortable sneakers can re-vive your spirit. You don’t have to go out there and buy some crazy expensive workout wear. Just something to remind yourself that workout clothes are an important part of your wardrobe, too!

 

Keep Hair Simple But Stylish

 

Longer hair, whether a man or woman wears it, can get in the way at the gym. There is nothing more annoying than sweaty locks hanging in your face during treadmill time. To make sure that you look great, think about your hair. Ladies, try pulling it back into a high ponytail or topknot bun. These styles will stay in place well but will still make you look great. Men, you can never go wrong with a sweatband. It doesn’t have to remind you of an Olivia Newton John music video, though. Choose something subtle and small in a shade that is similar to your hair colour.

 

It may seem impossible, but you can look good, even when you’re working out. All you have to do is make a few minor changes to your workout wardrobe. Remember, whatever you choose to wear – make sure that you feel good in it!
