Spring brings with it the chance to escape the gym and workout in the fresh air again--if you're wearing the right outdoor workout clothing. Spring weather is notoriously fickle--a morning run can begin with clear blue skies and end with icy rain or snow. The changeable nature of spring weather can sometimes dissuade people from exercising outside, which is a pity, as there’s nothing quite like working out as the world awakens from winter.
The secret to exercising outside in the spring is choosing the right spring workout clothing. Your outdoor workout clothing needs to be comfortable, warm, and most importantly, versatile enough to adapt to changing weather conditions.
Spring Workout Clothing
When choosing outdoor workout clothing you want garments you can take on and off without interrupting your workout, while also maintaining a comfortable temperature. Layering clothing helps you meet these requirements.
Start with the clothing you'll wear closest to your skin. This includes sports bras if you're choosing women’s athletic gear. You want this first layer to be made from a synthetic material that wicks away sweat. A form-fitting polyester short-sleeved tee shirt is ideal; it isn't bulky and you can easily layer extra spring workout clothing over it.
Long-sleeved tees can be used as a middle layer (sweatsuits, while warm, are a little too bulky for layering in the spring). Over the top of everything add a zippered jacket for added insulation and protection from wind or rain.
Don't neglect your feet and head when choosing outdoor workout clothing. A pair of running socks and water repellent shoes help fend off moisture from spring puddles and rain. For your head, a ventilated hat protects you while releasing heat. Possible headgear choices include the
Dri-FIT Swoosh Perforated Hat by Nike or the Performance Mesh Fitted Hat by Max.
Women’s Athletic Gear
Women’s athletic gear includes t-shirts and jackets such as:
- The Ladies Locker T-shirt by Under Armour is made of 100 percent polyester. Under Armour’s signature moisture transport system wicks sweat away from the body to keep you comfortable in a range of temperatures, while anti-odor properties impair the growth of odor-causing microbes.
