A few months ago my friend joined my gym and because she was new to the gym world, I took her out shopping for her new gym wardrobe. I suggested to her few pocket-friendly brands that I used and recommend too. But she had a quite nice budget so we went for a few higher range brands and we loved them.
A few days ago she came back and told me that there is a notable difference between her performance.

Now let us see a quick list of things you should keep in mind while buying your gym leggings:
- Prefer quick-drying clothes: It’s the fact that you are going to sweat during your workout sections. It is better to have breathable fabrics to wick away moisture and keep you feeling cool and dry.
- Stay away from cotton: Cotton may be good breathable and does absorb sweat but sweat stays there evaporates slowly on it and makes the clothes start to get heavy and gross.
- Should have good stretchability: A good stretchable fabric gives you a full range of motion and makes your workout sessions comfortable.
- Pockets are always better: leggings with pockets are always a good option, because you can keep your valuables with u and safe.
- Prefer leggings with a High Waist or with a good waist belt: Many people complain that their leggings roll down between their workout. Prefer a good high waisted or leggings with an elastic band inside the waistline. If you are heavy thighs or hips you can also try leggings with drawstrings.
- Prefer Seamless leggings that can stretch

Okie now quickly also let’s have a look at the things you should always have in your Gym Bag:
- Reusable water bottle.: Make sure to keep a bottle of water in your back. It is very important to keep yourself hydrated during workouts.
- Sneakers.: A good pair of gym shoes is a must. Always pack your shoe first while packing your bag because you can’t even think of workings out in your regular shoes or chappals.
- Face towel/wipes.: Bring a towel to wipe down the equipment after you finish using it, or simply to keep your sweat to yourself.
- Headphones.: It is said that good music can be very motivating for workouts. Always keep a playlist of good motivating music on your phone and pack some headphones before you head to the gym.
- Hairband/ties.: The last thing you need to stop you from a workout is forgetting a ponytail holder!
- Dry shampoo.: Dry shampoo can be your saviour if you don’t have time or energy to take a shower after the workout. You can soak up excess oils and sweat from your strands while adding volume and texture to your roots by it.
- Shower essentials.: For those who like to have a quick shower after a long workout, do remember to keep a mild body wash, shampoo, conditioners, etc.
- Fresh towel.: It is always better to carry your own towel to the gym.
- Perfume/deodorant.: This one is pretty obvious. For a little fresh scent post-workout always carry a small perfume or deodorant of your choice.
- Extra pair of clothes.: Always keep an extra pair of undergarments, socks and tank top in case of emergency.
- Snacks.: It is always good to have a light protein-filled snack after a power pack workout. Try to keep a protein bar, a small box of nuts, or your favourite fruit to keep your blood sugar in check.
