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.

Pilates is one of the forms of exercise which is easier to do and perform than some of the other kinds of exercise. One effect of Pilates to an individual doing it is mind relaxation; hence, it is vital that a person doing Pilates should wear the right kind of clothing to achieve this goal.

What are the factors to consider in choosing the clothes when doing 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.

-Choose to wear clothes that not only absorbs sweat but clothes that are also made up of fabric that pulls away sweat from the body and maximizes evaporation of your sweat. This kind of fabric also helps in avoiding retention of heat to the body and will help the person doing the exercise have some comfort in doing the exercise.

-Choose clothes with the right fit. Clothes with the right fit will not interrupt you from performing the exercise instead it will let you do the exercise routines properly.

-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.

-There are clothes that are recommended to be used during performing any kinds of exercise because they provide appropriate support to the body. One example is the sports bra which helps to control your breast from bouncing and swinging uncontrollably which may result in decrease level of performance fo the exercise and may provide discomfort to the person doing the exercise.

-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.

Aside from picking up the right kinds of clothes to wear when performing Pilates, there are also other things that needs to be remembered and that includes the mat to be used in order to properly do the exercise, water bottle to hydrate you when you have lost a lot of fluids already like in the form of sweat and the location where you will do the exercise. These things should also be planned properly aside from the clothes that you will wear in order to be able to do your Pilates exercise appropriately and with maximum effects.
