The Best Workout Gear

Wearing the best workout gear is important. Comfortable, lightweight and breathable fabrics can actually improve your workout. These materials will keep you cool, dry and give you maximum mobility. I'm going to tell you what companies make the best workout gear and the most important workout gear every person should have. Remember, workout gear is an investment. It may seem expensive now, but you will see the benefits every time you workout. So don't let those dollar signs spook you (Halloween was last week, remember?).

UnderArmour

UnderArmour is a pioneer when it comes to some workout gear. Whether you are training in sub-zero temperatures or feel like going for a jog during a heat wave, UnderArmour has you covered. The best workout top from UnderArmour is the classic men's UA Tech short sleeve t-shirt. Its loose fitting, giving you an enhanced range of motion. The shirt is made with the UA Technology, so its comfortable and wicks sweat away from the body. It has anti-odour technology and has flatlock seams to prevent chaffing and rashes from sweat. For $30, this is the all-around best workout top out there. 

Nike

Nike has always been a powerhouse with workout gear. With more competition from UnderArmour, Nike has become more innovative than ever. My favourite Nike workout gear? Definitely the Nike Pro Combat Hypercool 2.0 men's compression shorts. These compression shorts fit great under shorts or a uniform and have several mesh patches for ventilation. With an elastic waistband, these compression shorts fit snug but don't restrict movement. No sweat, no itching, no problem. Nike has you covered. 

Lululemon

Lululemon is rapidly expanding its men's workout gear line. The company is well known for its workout pants, especially its Kung Fu pant. The Kung Fu pant is made with Lululemon's Luon technology, a high-performance fabric that is soft, stretchy and very comfortable. The Kung Fu pant has four pockets, two in the front and two in the back which is great for your keys or gym membership card. Lululemon is a bit more pricy, with these pants costing $98. Like I said, workout gear is an investment; if you want the best feel and technology you can't be afraid to spend a little extra. 

Like I said, It's an Investment

Think of how much you work out. If you are following the goal of 50 days of fitness, that means almost every day. So, will you spend close to $300 on a pair of shoes, shorts, compression shorts and t-shirt? Probably. Is it worth it? Absolutely. The best workout gear feels good, looks good and improves your workouts. So don't sweat it (literally). Stay on top of your game with the best workout gear. 

Exercise of the Week

This week's exercise is the deadlift. Usually I try to keep each of these videos under two minutes, but the deadlift is a very technical lift that requires discipline to perfect and to avoid injury.
