By Angela Winter


Performing an exercise is much more convenient and comfortable if you are wearing the appropriate type of clothes. Wearing the right kinds of clothes when doing an exercise greatly affects the person's ability to perform and do the exercise. Doing Pilates is also affected by the clothes you wear.

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.

Below are some factors to be considered when picking up clothes to wear when performing 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.

-Wear clothes of the right size and fit. Clothes that are small or big for you affects the way you perform the exercise because you will not be very comfortable when doing the exercise wearing clothes that is not right for your size.

-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.

-Choose to wear clothes that support your body properly when doing Pilates. Wearing clothes that will not support your body properly will hinder you in doing the exercise accurately. You will not be at ease performing an exercise while your breasts are swinging and bouncing uncontrollably. It is highly advisable to wear sports bra when doing any kind of exercise to make sure that your breasts will be in place.

-Pick clothes that hugs the body and are made up of light materials. Clothes that hug the body are recommended to be used because if you wear loose clothes, tendency is that there may be some parts that may swing and flap when you are doing your exercise routines and will distract you from properly performing the exercise.

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.
