I know absolutely nothing about going to the gym or working out and I need some help choosing some actual good quality sports wear.

The clothes I currently have don’t seem suitable at all for exercise in that theyre not particularly flexible, breathable or lightweight.

I’m mainly looking to lose weight and improve cardio fitness as I haven’t done proper exercise in a very long time.

My priorities are durability, longevity and breathability. I’m not bothered about fashion brands unless they can do all three of the above and I don’t mind spending a little more money to get something thats good quality.

I’m in the UK but if you can point me towards the good stuff, even if it’s not available in the UK, it’ll help me pick similar stuff!

Thanks very much for any help in advance!

Cheers!

    Go to a store, try things on, see if you get a good range of motion and if the fit is comfortable. I prefer to work out in 100% cotton, but I do also have some lycra blends. My workout clothes are mostly tshirts, some muscle tanks, shorts, and joggers.

    You really don’t need anything fancy for the gym. It sounds like your problem is that you don’t have comfortable clothes in general.
