5 Pieces Of Gear That Will Charge Up Your Workout
All the activewear you need to crush your goals is at lululemon.
If you feel like you expect a lot out of your activewear, you’re not alone. We’re here to say that we are 100 percent on the same page. The reality is, the clothes we wear during our workouts should allow us to focus and push harder. They should help us level up, lift heavier, and crush PRs, not make it harder to meet goals. It also doesn’t hurt if that gear looks good too. There’s no denying that looking and feeling your best is an incredible confidence-booster—which might be just what’s needed to muscle through that last rep. Think of your gym apparel as a superhero suit of sorts. When you slip it on, you should be ready to tackle any challenge that comes your way. Below, we share five top-notch activewear picks that will help you feel good and perform better.
There’s not much that ruins a workout session quite like chafing, which is why this shirt has as few seams as possible. Made with recycled polyester and breathable mesh, it’ll keep you cool and dry even when you’re working up a serious sweat. The Silverescent tech, which reduces bacteria growth and odor, is a welcome feature too.
These abrasion-resistant shorts will keep everything locked and loaded, even through your highest-impact workouts. The stretchy liner is made with Luxtreme fabric, so it’ll be oh-so-soft on your skin while also wicking away sweat. And it provides just the right amount of compression so that you can move freely while still feeling supported.
Soft, stretchy, sweat-wicking—what more could you want out of an exercise tank? We’ve got one: How about a No-Stink Zinc treatment that inhibits nasty bacteria growth? Yup, this tank has that, too. Not that we’re encouraging you to ditch washing your clothes after a workout. We’re just saying you could forget, and it wouldn’t be the end of the world with this tank.
Everything the License to Train Short has to offer, minus the lining—in case that’s not your thing! The tapered fit, tear-resistant fabric, and neutral color options (plus one that really pops) makes these shorts a solid option for inside the gym and out—because who doesn’t want to live in comfy, quick-dry shorts on the reg? Bonus points for the zipper pocket that’ll keep all your essentials secure whether you’re hitting the gym or heading to brunch.
Hard training calls for socks that can keep your feet feeling good rep after rep. After all, they're putting in the work, too. With 360-degree arch support, seamless toe construction, and a 3D-knitted heel, this pair has just the right amount of stretch and cushion for a supported, frictionless fit.
