Dress for Exercise

You ’ ve probably heard the term “ dress for success ,” right ? It ’ s usually used in the context of job interviews or job life in general . There are even studies out there that show the connection between dressing sharp and productivity . But that term also applies to exercising ! Wearing proper athletic apparel and shoes can boost your performance and also decrease your risk of injury . At the Risner Sports Pro shop , we have an extensive collection of women ’ s and men ’ s athletic shoes . It is important to invest in a good pair of running or cross training shoes to make sure you ’ re getting the support you need . In many cases , the perfect pair of shoes can help decrease your risk of injury . Having good midsole cushioning and the proper arch support can prevent tendonitis , stress fractures and joint pain . And , on top of all that , proper shoes can improve your running capability and athletic performance .
Not only are shoes important for dressing properly for exercise , but having the proper shirts and pants is also highly suggested . As we ’ ve established , the correct apparel can improve your performance . Take cycling for example . Some cycling gear is padded to make sure the rider is more comfortable , which can contribute to longer cycling trips and , in turn , improve one ’ s overall performance . Whatever you ’ re doing , you need protective gear . If it is a typical , sunny Okinawan day , you may want a cap to protect your head and face , or if you ’ re a heavy lifter , you may want to use gloves to protect your hands . When picking out proper sports apparel , it is important to pick light and breathable fabrics . Well-fi tting sports apparel improves your freedom of movement and range of motion .
