What pants to wear to the gym
Choose training pants or joggers with stretch and an elastic or drawstring waist. Stiff jeans and heavy cargo pants restrict movement. On cold days, sweatpants keep you warm between sets.
What not to wear to the gym
- Jeans and stiff fabrics that restrict squats and stretches.
- Heavy cotton for intense sessions, since it stays damp longer than performance fabric.
- Loose, open footwear for lifting or running.
Dri-FIT or cotton?
Nike's Dri-FIT is a polyester performance fabric designed to move sweat away from the skin so it dries faster. Cotton is softer for everyday wear. For hard training, most people prefer Dri-FIT.
