So it is already clear
that Pilates clothing is all about comfort, and
if we are lucky enough we will find Pilates clothing
that is a little bit fashionable too!
Remember that
Pilates clothing must be practical so that you can
confidently do the Pilates movements.
If you are
constantly worried about your clothes and what they are
or are not covering up then that should be a signal that
you need different clothes!
Get shopping!
Avoid wearing the
big, loose-fitting clothes, just because they seem the
most comfortable. With Pilates you need to be able to
see what your muscles are doing, especially the
abdominal muscles.
So when you are
doing your Roll Ups if you've got a huge t-shirt
covering you up, then not only are you going to be
unable to see your abs you are just asking for the baggy
t-shirt to end up over your head instead of covering you
up!
Forget the baggy
sweat pants too since they will hide too much of your
hips and knees and again you won't be able to see what
you are doing. Pilates clothes is designed to be fitted
to your body comfortably and these not only keeps you
covered but it helps you to be able to see what your
muscles are doing as well as helps you to see your
position so that you can make sure you are in correct
form.

in your Pilates class and see what others area wearing.
Ask your trainer what is the best choice of Pilates
clothing for you to wear.
Think about what
best allows you to accomplish all the movements you will
be performing and yet allow you to be covered up and
comfortable. You should also think about the
temperature in the studio since often times you will
benefit most by layering Pilates clothing so that you
can adjust if needed during your workout.
What strides we've
made in the fabrics used in today's workout clothes!
Today's fabrics give stability, stretch and comfort.
The majority of the
active wear on the market today is made from material
that lasts a long time, won't fade out and won't pill.
Fabrics such as ClimaCool or ClimaLite are "breathable”
fabrics which mean that they pull the sweat on your body
away from your body in order to keep your body temp
cooler during your workout.
So not surprisingly,
these are perfect fabrics for Pilates and Yoga. Another
added feature in today's workout clothes are that many
of those designed for women already have a good Spandex
bra built right into the top. What an innovation!
It really is quite
fun when you get to enjoy shopping for Pilates
clothing as much as you get to enjoy the workout
itself. The choices are many…shop smart!
