Whether you're just updating your gym wardrobe or are in need of new sportswear, Sundried give you our top 10 activewear pieces from sports bras to mens leggings. 

1. Sports Bra

A sports bra is an absolute must have for any type of workout. The racerback design of a sports bra prevents the straps slipping down while you move, while the supportive cups keep your chest in place and prevent any pain or discomfort. Sundried's range of sports bras are designed to lock down movement and reduce the impact on the shoulders by redistributing the weight across your back. The racer back is great for keeping you cool when you build up a sweat and they look great too!

2. Technical T-Shirt

You may think that any t-shirt will do for a gym workout, but you want to make sure that the gym top you wear has technical performance qualities to keep you comfortable while you train. Sweat-wicking materials draw moisture away from the body so that you stay drier and more comfortable during a tough session. A good technical gym top won't lose its shape as you move and will prevent chafing. Sundried's range of technical sports t-shirts are made from recycled materials which boast advanced technical qualities such as moisture wicking, UV protection, and even anti-odour.

3. Gym Leggings

Finding the right pair of gym leggings is crucial for a comfortable workout. If you're constantly having to pull them up you won't be able to focus on your performance so you'll want to find ones with an adjustable waistband. Sundried's range of gym leggings feature a high waist band which won't dig in or slip down as you jump, skip, and lift. They also feature slimming designs and seamless construction so that they're perfectly comfortable and you can wear them with confidence. 

4. Training Socks

The right socks might not always be top of your list when it comes to activewear, but they are important. Blisters can really set your training back and long training sessions are dependant upon your feet being comfortable. Sports-specific training socks should be sweat-wicking with extra padding or protection in areas prone to blisters. Sundried's socks feature mesh ventilation panels to the top so that your feet can breathe and wick sweat to prevent chafing and blisters. 

5. Comfortable Gym Shoes

The right gym shoes can make or break a training session. The last thing you want is to be tripping over shoes that are too big or suffering numb toes from shoes that are too small. Furthermore, your gym shoes need to have the right grip and performance qualities for your type of training. Do you do CrossFit? You'll want to invest in a proper pair of CrossFit shoes as there is a difference between CrossFit shoes and training shoes. Sundried offer a pair of barefoot gym shoes which are said to prevent injury and allow you to feel every movement, thereby enhancing your performance and training results.

6. Gym Vest

The right gym vest will make you feel confident and comfortable while working out in the gym. No matter the season, a gym will always be warmer than outdoors, so having a vest handy even in winter is important for regular gym-goers. You want a gym vest that enhances your physique and makes you feel confident while also being practical and technical. The Sundried men's gym vest is made with seamless construction for comfort and features a stylish arrow design to the chest which enhances your physique.

7. Fitness Tracker

Using a fitness tracker will help you achieve your goals with real statistics and useful information. By tracking your heart rate during a workout you can see if you are working hard enough and will be rewarded with calories burned at the end. Having an accurate measurement will aid in reaching your goals and can be something positive to focus on.

8. Gym Bag

With all your new gym gear you're going to need somewhere to put it! Regular bags may pick up a smell, but a gym bag is designed to be odour-resistant. We recommend you pack up your gym bag the night before, that way when it comes time to workout, you’re ready and raring to go and have no excuses to put it off. Keep your pre-gym routine as simple as possible to avoid allowing yourself the opportunity to find an excuse to not bother.

9. Water Bottle

When you're training at intensity, you lose a lot of water, so it’s essential to keep yourself hydrated. Grabbing yourself a reusable bottle prevents wasting used plastic bottles and helps minimise the load in our landfills waiting to decompose, not only that but plastic bottles contain harmful substances so you'll want one which is BPA-free like the Sundried water bottle. 

10. Towel

Last but definitely not least is a gym towel. Having sweat dripping off your face during a tough workout might make you look like you're working hard, but it can be very irritating and uncomfortable. Make sure you have an appropriately-sized gym-specific towel that you can keep in your bag and also use to wipe down machines and benches once you've used them.
