Knowing What Clothes To Wear When Doing Pilates

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.

Compared to other kinds of exercises, Pilates is easier to do and perform because it does not require making of weights and other very heavy materials. Mind relaxation is one benefit that an individual can get in doing Pilates and choosing the right kinds of clothes to wear helps the individual to attain this benefit.

What are the factors to consider in choosing the clothes when doing 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.

-Clothes of the right size and fit is always recommended to be worn during exercise for you to be able to 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.

-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.

-Wear clothes that are light and that hug the body. Same with any other exercise, Pilates exercise is composed of a lot of body movements, bending and stretching, hence, wearing light clothes will aid in you performing the exercise appropriately. Also wearing clothes that hug the body prevent parts of the clothes to flap and swing around while you are doing the exercise and may distract you during your exercise routine.

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.
