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.

Here are some things to consider in choosing clothes to wear when doing Pilates:

-It is important to wear clothes that are comfortable when doing an exercise like Pilates to be sure that you can focus more in doing the exercise. Wearing clothes that are uncomfortable will make you preoccupied on the uneasiness that you are feeling thus there is lesser chance for you to do the exercise properly.

-Clothes that absorbs sweat and at the same time is made of fabric that pulls away the sweat from the body and maximizes sweat evaporation is always recommended to be worn when doing any kind of exercise like Pilates. This kind of fabric provides the opportunity of not retaining heat to the body so it will be more comfortable to wear.

-Wear clothes of the right size and fit. Clothes that are small or big for you affects the way you perform the exercise because you will not be very comfortable when doing the exercise wearing clothes that is not right for your size.

-Choose clothes to wear according to weather condition. For extremely cold weather conditions, make sure to wear clothes that will protect you from cold and at the same time will give protection to your head and ears. On the other hand, for hot weather conditions, make sure to wear clothes that maximizes ventilation and pulls away sweat from your body thus making your skin breath.

-Clothes that properly support your body especially when doing exercises is always recommended to be worn. These kind of clothes helps the body to avoid unnecessary movements of your body parts. A sports bra is an example of this kind of clothes and helps to control your breasts from swinging and bouncing uncontrollably that will hinder you to perform the exercise properly.

-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.

Choosing the right clothes is very important in order to maximize the benefits that you can get in doing Pilates exercises. But there are also other things that one should consider in order to be able to do the exercise appropriately and in comfort and this includes the mat that you will utilize in doing Pilates, water bottle that will contain enough amount of water to hydrate you and the place where you will do your Pilates exercise. Considering this things will not only promote comfort when you are doing the exercises but will also aid to maximize your level of performance in doing the exercise routines.
