Hey Chicks!<\/p>\n

Happy Wednesday!<\/p>\n

Can I just say I am pumped this summer?! This past weekend I went with 2 of my fave people, Amanda and Jackie, to Niagara for a biking adventure (pics to follow!).\u00a0 We biked 26km from Niagara Falls to Niagara on the lake <\/a>through wine country and had a couple of heart healthy “samples” along the way.\u00a0 It was so beautiful, a kick butt workout and we even ran into one of the chicks from our Toronto Boot Camp<\/a> at the Peller Estates <\/a>winery (you rock Courtney!)<\/p>\n

Biking in the heat made me start thinking about how much your workouts change in the summer and when you head outdoors.\u00a0 Last week I was chatting about my top tips to working out in the heat and sun<\/a>.\u00a0 So I thought this week, let’s talk about one of my fave things:\u00a0 clothes!!\u00a0\u00a0Summer gear is soooo important for a successful workout, here’s why:<\/p>\n

\"toronto<\/a><\/p>\n

3 Reasons Why Awesome Summer Gear is Essential to a Fab Workout!<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Fab Workout Gear Prevents Overheating<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

First of all the workout clothing you wear is essential to making sure you don’t overheat during your workouts. We recommend that our chicks wear loose, breathable wicking <\/a>clothing and a hat during our outdoor bootcamp classes<\/a>. This will allow your body to breathe, let air in to cool you down and help evaporate sweat.\u00a0 We also recommend choosing lighter colors like white or pastels as it reflects the sun and will keep you cooler than dark colors which attract the heat.<\/p>\n

2. Workout Clothes Also Provide Functionality<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

To get the best results, you have to be able to move freely during each exercise. Without the proper summer gear, you may be limited with your movements thus not getting all the benefits from your workout (lets just say jean shorts and lunges are not the best combo!)\u00a0 Choose clothing that works with you body natural motion and has elements of stretch to it so you can really.<\/p>\n

3. Great Summer Workout Clothes Give You Confidence<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The better you feel about yourself, the better your workouts are! If you are wearing summer gear, especially when working out outdoors, that you are more concerned with it staying on or if your muffin top is showing than how many calories you are burning, it is not for you!\u00a0 You will be surprised how much better your workouts will be.<\/p>\n

And exciting news…<\/strong>we are gearing up to launch our FIT CHICKS workout clothing line in August! Stay tuned for more detes!<\/p>\n
