FitFact: The top 3 items of clothing and accessories that will keep you warm in the gym
Supersets aren’t your thing and you allow yourself and your muscles a short break between exercises? Then make sure that your muscles don’t start shivering from the cold during the breaks between sets! You can counter this danger with good style: today we show you the top 3 items of clothing and accessories that not only look cool, but also keep you really warm in winter.
3) Over-Ear Headphones
To keep our ears nice and warm, we’re bringing back the classic over-ear headphones. Sure, the popular in-ear headphones are very practical due to their size, but this winter the ear-hugging giants are celebrating their comeback. What makes them stand out from the ear studs? Your ears will love them! Whether on the way to the gym or during your workout – listen to your favorite gym playlist while your ears enjoy the warmth. Bye-bye, cold ears, hello hot music 🎧!
2) Leggings
Anyone who thinks leggings are only for the ladies is very much mistaken. Many bodybuilders swear by leggings on their legday, usually combined with short sports shorts over them. Hollywood muscleman Zac Efron is also increasingly seen wearing tights under his gym shorts. He tells Men’s Health that he is certain that superheroes don’t wear tights for nothing. Comfortable, warm and functional – do you need any more reasons to pack them in your gym bag? Leggings FTW 🦵
1) Pump Cover
Pump Cover stands for a layer of clothing over your actual training clothes, such as an oversized hoodie. This way of dressing is becoming increasingly popular, not only to look cool, but also to keep warm. Many keep the hoodie on during the warm-up and take it off during training. The “Pump Cover” is therefore a great way to stay flexible if you get hot again during training and want to expose your pump 💪.
With these top 3 items of clothing and accessories, you can take your winter training to the next level without shivering. To top it all off, you can win an ACTIV FITNESS duffle bag with surprise contents worth over CHF 120 in our competition. The only thing you have to do: Follow our social media account!
