We all know of the health and wellbeing benefits of exercise but, now that winter’s here, bolting out on bitter mornings is less appealing. Instead of giving up on your New Year resolutions, update your winter gym clothes – look for lightweight layers in moisture-wicking recycled materials, sports tops with thumb holes to keep your hands warm and winter sportswear in clever temperature-regulating fabrics that will keep you cosy without over-heating. Did you know we lose between 7-10% of our body heat through our heads? A sporty colour-pop beanie will guard against heat loss while helping you stand out to traffic on dark, gloomy days.
Less-than-perfect weather won’t put us off our workouts, especially with an appealing array of Goodmove winter activewear to choose from. Whether you’re chasing your dog around the park, playing team sports or power-walking around the block, it’s all about those high-performance layers. Investing in a directional waterproof parka pays dividends: we promise you’ll be wearing it through spring and beyond. For confidence on the go, try our new leak-proof leggings which feature a discreet built-in absorbency pad. We have all the best winter workout clothes no matter the weather.
Whether it’s a HIIT workout at home, run around the local park or group yoga session, there are certain fitness essentials it’s best not to compromise on. Firstly, a decent sports bra, which will offer support and keep you comfy. Long-sleeved gym tops also serve you all year-round, and Marks & Spencer has a great range to choose from, with fabrics that are warm, breathable and, most importantly, moisture wicking. Fleeces are a big trend in and out of the gym, and cosy, too, while a cotton hoodie zipped under a water-repellent coat is the perfect formula to stay warm and dry.
