By Angela Winter


Wearing the right clothes when practicing any form of exercise is significant because it will enhance the effect of the exercise one is doing. A lot of people neglect wearing the right clothes when doing exercise but wearing the right clothing also affects the way an individual performs the exercise. Pilates is one of the many forms of exercise available for anyone to do. Wearing appropriate clothing when doing Pilates will help the person practicing it be more comfortable and at ease when doing the exercise.

Pilates is one of the forms of exercise which is easier to do and perform than some of the other kinds of exercise. One effect of Pilates to an individual doing it is mind relaxation; hence, it is vital that a person doing Pilates should wear the right kind of clothing to achieve this goal.

Below are some factors to be considered when picking up clothes to wear when performing Pilates:

-Wear something that is comfortable. Wearing something comfortable helps a person to focus more in doing the exercise. When you wear something that is uncomfortable it may hinder the individual to perform the exercise properly because he will become preoccupied with the discomfort that he is experiencing with his clothes.

-Wear clothes that will not only absorb sweat but also those that are made up of fabric that pulls away the sweat from the body and maximizes evaporation of sweat thus not retaining heat to the body. Wearing this kind of fabric when doing Pilates will be helpful to achieve comfort in doing the exercise.

-Choose clothes with the right fit. Clothes with the right fit will not interrupt you from performing the exercise instead it will let you do the exercise routines properly.

-Pick out your Pilates clothing according to the weather condition. During summer and hot weather, wear exercise clothing that optimizes ventilation and lets your skin breath. During cold weather, choose your Pilates clothing that will protect you from the cold weather. Wearing something that protects your head and ear may be necessary when exercising during cold weather. Whatever the weather is, it is important to wear something that maximizes ventilation, allows your skin to breathe and pulls the sweat away from your body.

-Choose to wear clothes that support your body properly when doing Pilates. Wearing clothes that will not support your body properly will hinder you in doing the exercise accurately. You will not be at ease performing an exercise while your breasts are swinging and bouncing uncontrollably. It is highly advisable to wear sports bra when doing any kind of exercise to make sure that your breasts will be in place.

-Pick clothes that hugs the body and are made up of light materials. Clothes that hug the body are recommended to be used because if you wear loose clothes, tendency is that there may be some parts that may swing and flap when you are doing your exercise routines and will distract you from properly performing the exercise.

These are just some things that individuals that want to do Pilates might consider in choosing the right clothing for the exercise. But aside from wearing the proper clothing, there are also other important things to consider and prepare when you want to do Pilates. These things include, mat to be used when performing the exercise, water bottle that is very important to hydrate you when you are exercising and the place where you want to do the exercise.
