What clothes should you wear for a fitness boot camp?

So, you’ve stuck to your New Year’s Resolution of getting fitter…congratulations! Whether you’re a gym novice or a newbie, you may be unsure on what to wear to a fitness camp. Just don’t let the term boot camp put you off

Though, we can’t promise you that boot camp workouts won’t have you panting on the floor with sweat dripping out of every pore, or wrestling with battle ropes and swinging from TRX stations. You’re also probably going to have a fight or two with a dumbbell so you need to wear clothing that’s not going to restrict your movement.

Tops

Vests are a great shout as your arms will have full range of movement, whether it’s push ups, jabbing punch bags, or medicine ball rolling you need to do. If you do wish to wear a shirt with sleeves, you need to make sure that those sleeves aren’t too tight on your arms, you can test this by lifting your arms above your head. If you struggle to do so, it’s recommended that you find a looser shirt.

A warm hoody or jacket isn’t going to last long but it can be a sensible addition for that short trip from the car into the gym, or on a cold morning. It can also be a welcome choice during the warm-up before taking it off once the real work-out commences. Some people even choose to wear their hoody throughout the entire workout in order to produce more sweat in a bid to reduce their water weight.

Under armour layers and “skins”, i.e. skin tight lycra are ideal for cold mornings as they help to trap heat. The compression kind of layers are also advisable as they can aid recovery post workout by helping with blood flow. Plus, they can be very flattering so if you’re feeling a little self-conscious about attending a fitness camp, you need not be.

Bottoms

Not only do your bottoms need to be stretchy around the waist, but it’s also handy if they are stretchy around the legs as this will help you to squat and shuffle as much as your muscles will allow you to. From sumo squats to burpees, the discomfort will be nil…until your DOMS kicks in, but we don’t need to worry about that just yet. It’s also important that you can adequately stretch your legs as stiff or tight legs will lead to injury.

Leggings, yoga pants or even shorts (if it’s warm enough) will offer the necessary leg flexibility for you to nail all of your workouts.

Footwear

From uncomfortable school shoes to heels that you really can’t walk in properly, we’ve all experienced the inconvenience of uncomfortable footwear at least once in our lifetime. Poor footwear is actually one of the most common causes of foot injuries, from broken ankles to busted knees to shop shins to some serious blisters, the wrong shoes can cause significant injury. Running shoes have strong soles and are perfect for the gym and fitness camps as instead of slipping and then then tensing your feet to hold grip, you’ll be able to pivot and move with ease. It’s also important the shoes fit comfortably and there’s minimal room at the front. Your workout shoes should also be light so that you are able to move around with ease.
