Why you wear yoga pants? are they “cooler or more comfortable,” or you find them “sexy.”
Many women, defending yoga pants saying that they are more appropriate form of workout clothing – and denying that sex appeal has anything to do with it. Others feel that it’s seems ridiculous to have a go at women for wearing leggings in the gym. The fact of the matter is that leggings make it easy to move whilst also making sure you don’t get too hot. Reasons for the same according to them are they hate working out in sweatpants! as they would overheat, & the fabric would get in the way, plus it would make them want to curl up on the sofa rather than get moving in the gym.
The decision to wear whatever one want to wear while exercising is truly personal.
Benefits of Wearing Sweatpants
- Sweatpants increase body heat, causing you to become hot and sweat more quickly during your routine. It takes extra calories to cool your body down when you sweat, so the additional heat caused by sweatpants can help you burn a few additional calories. The additional caloric expenditure is a small one, though, so you won’t see much difference in your results simply because you wear sweatpants.
- While working out in open, your legs are vulnerable to sunburn as any other part of your body, and sweatpants help to avoid a sunburn. They save you time if you don’t want to worry about sunscreen. In muggy weather when mosquitoes are out in full force, the pants protect your legs from nasty bites, and if you exercise in natural settings or high grass, your pants provide you some protection from ticks, spiders and thorny bushes.
- Sweatpants trap heat close to your body and can help you warm up your muscles more quickly. It’s much safer to exercise warm muscles than cold ones. Theoretically, then, sweatpants might help you reduce your risk of injury, particularly if you tend to avoid warm-up routines.
- Sweatpants help wick away moisture, keeping you cool and dry. Choose sweatpants made of material specifically designed to wick away moisture and steer clear of heavy fabrics that absorb moisture, such as fleece.
Why Yoga Pants?
- Yoga pants make you feel good from the inside out. A nice pair of yoga pants and an oversized sweater can go a long way toward making a daunting day seem a little more approachable.
- Wearing your yoga pants at all times means you can do a downward dog next to your desk, or effortlessly pop your leg up onto a fence the moment the impulse strikes.
- The stretchable pants allow for unconstrained movements like kicking, bending and several others.
- The light-weight fabric does not hinder the movement of the body.
The final choice is yours which garment you want to wear to maximize the benefits of the yoga practice.
