Clothing for a week of weekly training
Short answer: If you train several times a week, you need clothes that can cope with sweat, frequent washing and the switch between home, training and everyday life. Choose light layers, and have enough sets that something is always clean.
Clothes for regular training
When you train every week, you use your clothes hard and wash them often. That means you can quickly run short of clean clothes if you only have a single set. Plan your clothes around the training days: one set for each session, plus a couple of extras to change into. Choose clothes that are soft, do not rub and keep their shape even after many washes.
Long sleeves for cold sessions and warm up
A thin long sleeved top is good for warming up and for training outdoors in cool periods. See bamboo long sleeve T-shirt for men. It covers the arms and keeps the muscles warm, and you can take it off when you get warm. After training it is important to change if your clothes have got wet, so you do not get cold. Pack a dry layer in the bag, so you can change before heading home.
A tank top when you need to move freely
A tank top gives freedom to shoulders and arms and is good for strength training and indoor classes where it is warm. See bamboo tank top for men. Choose a fit that does not hang loose, so that it does not get in the way when you lift. Have a thin jumper for after training, so you do not get cold when the sweat cools down. Change quickly and dry yourself with a towel.
See what is in the range
If you are looking for clothes from a particular brand, you can see what is available under CCDK. It can be an easy way to get an overview and find clothes that can be used for both training and everyday life. Choose pieces that can be combined and that you can wear outside the hall, so you do not have to pack an extra bag for each session.
Clothes that dry and smell fresh
Wet clothes that are left in the bag soon begin to smell. Take the clothes out as soon as you get home, and hang them up to dry. Use a ventilated pouch in the bag, so air can get in. Wash the clothes after every workout, not after several. Viscose from bamboo is washed at 30 to 40 degrees without fabric softener, which can leave a film on the fabric and make it less breathable.
Routine and recovery
Make the training week a routine. Pack the bag the evening before and have fixed days for washing. After training, rest and something to eat and drink are important. If training causes you pain that does not go away, talk to your doctor. Choose soft clothes for the rest days, so the body can relax and so you do not feel restricted by tight clothing in the hours when you recover.
