Of all the things you need to worry about at the gym, your leggings shouldn’t be one of them.
You already know that the type of leggings you wear has a big role to play on the degree of your comfortability and performance at the gym. When you feel supported in what you wear, you inevitably feel and perform at your best. Nothing more.
So what happens when you keep making the wrong leggings choice? That’s only because you don’t have the idea of what to look for.
These are the three important factors you must consider before shopping for your next leggings if you wish to perform at your best in yoga class- or any other workout class for that matter.

1. Are they made of fabrics?
With intense workout such as running comes soreness. If you’re engaging in these kind of exercise, what you need to look for is woven fabrics.
We admit they are a little bit expensive. So why do you need to go through the struggle of getting them? Because they allow for the free flow of blood in your legs which is crucial if you don’t want to end up with muscle cramp. But then again, you only need them if you’re into intensive workouts.

2. Are they stretchy?
As you already know, yoga requires limitless stretching and bending, you want to make sure you don’t encounter wardrobe malfunction in the process and at the same time you want to be able to breathe comfortably. This is why you need to stay away from workout leggings that come with zippers. In this case, your best choice is a stretchy, high waist leggings with zero need for wardrobe check

3. Good Sweat Absorber?
The last thing you want to worry about is the yucky feeling that comes from excessive sweating during your workout.
Luckily, you can easily find out the rate of sweat absorbance of the leggings right there in the store before purchasing it. Just place a drop of water on the inside of the leggings, if it’s a good sweat absorber, it will immediately absorb the water and spread out, while a bad one will rather bead up.

Purchasing the right workout leggings doesn’t have to be a daunting task as long as you know exactly what you’re looking for. Use the above important tips as your guide next time you’re out shopping for your workout leggings.
