If you are like me you are always working toward maintaining an exercise program as part of a healthy lifestyle. There are ever growing fitness programs to choose from, each having their own fitness wear needs. Traditional indoor and outdoor sports are always an option and every time you turn around there is a new specialty program or gym to Mats try out. As a result, the sportswear industry grows by a minimum of 5% each year. Much to my delight, so does diversity in fitness wear and wholesale purchasing options.

Today's outdoor fitness wear must be flexible and lightweight while keeping you cool or warm depending the climate you are working out in. It also must be durable as to help navigate a variety of terrains. Today's outdoor fitness is far beyond biking and running. It takes us hiking in jungles and mountains or crossing streams and deserts. Indoor fitness can require uniforms such as swimwear or martial arts apparel. Also found indoor are traditional gym needs, yoga, and Pilates active wear. When you can find sportswear that works for several purposes, that's even better.

Regardless of the sport fitness wear must allow you to move freely and absorb sweat. Many of the dri-weave materials on the market will both pull the sweat away from your body and dry quickly. Dri-weave materials are also lightweight and breathe easily.

Most fitness wear options are a combination of shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, jerseys, fitness pants, and two-piece fitness suits. Your additional apparel accessories include specialty shoes, socks, gym bags, sweatbands, hats, sports bras, and bandannas.

Many of us are drawn toward the popular brand names while purchasing our fitness wear. The logic is that paying for a brand will ensure quality. While you will indeed find quality, you are also paying the brand name and its visual appeal. Take a look though at your non-brand options. They offer you high quality as well as an inexpensive price. You can find some of these options in stores such as Target, Wal-Mart or Kmart.

When you look good you feel good and there is no shame in wanting to look good while you work out. This is possible with a little time and energy. Do your research and find wholesale suppliers both of and online. Wholesalers can offer you popular brand names at up to a 50% discount.
