Updated Jan 2021
I’ve never been okay with sporting workout clothes all day, but I always dreamed I would one day have the freedom to work out all the time. I didn’t want that dream to include a pandemic, but what are you going to do? So, here I am in quarantine with more free time than I’ve had in 15 years. I’ve run everyday since March 18th, with only one exception. I also do push ups, planks, dance, foam roll, and stretch. (When I am in the mood for delusions, I pretend I am at a retreat.) I know a lot of you have been working out as well, or itching to start. So, let’s get you dressed for it with my favorite workout clothes for men…
Not Black Workout Clothes For Men
You poor guys get stuck with so much boring crap when it comes to clothes. How much black workout clothes can one have? As soon as the gyms closed, a sea of shirtless men in black shorts flooded the streets. I can barely tell them apart. I don’t want you to be another faceless pair of black shorts, so I have a wonderful list of top-rated, attractive NON-BLACK workout clothes for men. I know some of you might be grumbling, “Why should I bother with stylish workout clothes when most of my workouts are in the privacy of my own home?” Because putting effort into the way you dress is not always about making a good impression on others, it’s also about making a good impression on yourself. When you dress better, you feel better. As you may remember from my last post, the same goes for loungewear.
Reader Recommended At-Home Workouts
Not everyone has the love affair that I have with running. In fact, I think most people hate it. Plus, not everyone has a great running area near their shelter-in-place. So I reached out to my community to get the most recommended at-home workouts. Enjoy these online classes in your new (or old) athletic clothes:
- Honey Yoga with my friend Jomally Fernandez — you can also use the Down Dog App for Yoga
