The idea of working out can often feel tedious, almost like a hassle. We get it - life is busy. However, it doesn't have to feel this way! The thing that you should prioritise the most when it comes to working out is that you feel confident and comfortable, especially if you are trying something new! 'Working out' does not necessarily equate to high intensity sport, or a 2 hour gym session. Going for a walk, doing Yoga or even heading out for a swim with your kids can all count as physical self care. Some even say that just dressing up for the moment makes them feel more motivated and ready for a good workout, and this is where we have you covered! Even if you're already a work out pro, let us introduce you to Bamboo Body's stylish clothing range, suitable for any occasion - even to get active! Made from a blend of organically grown bamboo, our sustainable clothing collection has everything you need for your workout.

To help kickstart your new years resolutions (self care, that is), we have put together a handy style guide to suit your workout needs.

Activewear is all about breathability! Studies have shown that bamboo clothing is more breathable than other materials such as cotton. Breathable fabric is so important to so many customers, and is the perfect fabric to cool you down. It's also important to wear something during your workout that makes you feel comfortable, which will ultimately allow you to have a better workout overall. You also don't want to overheat during a workout, so it's best to wear breathable materials. It is also why so many people now opt for bamboo underwear and socks over cotton.

Bamboo fabric has amazing moisture-wicking properties that help keep your body fresh and dry. It allows moisture to evaporate into the air quickly by pulling moisture away from the skin. For this reason, we highly recommend swapping out your synthetic activewear for bamboo to avoid that feeling of being drenched in sweat!

Another benefit to our bamboo clothing is that it is extremely smooth, soft and naturally hypoallergenic - perfect for those who suffer from allergies. Exercising with allergies can be difficult for some people, and although hypoallergenic fabric won't cure your allergies, it will sure help avoid that uncomfortable feeling. Our bamboo fabric is OEKO-Tex100 certified which means that our bamboo clothing is free from harmful chemicals and residues. People with skin sensitivities such as eczema and psoriasis report that our bamboo clothing does not irritate their skin like most other fabrics.

Bamboo clothing is known to naturally have anti-bacterial properties. This assists in reducing odour by fighting the bacteria. You may notice that when you wear bamboo clothing you do not smell as bad at the end of the day as you would wearing synthetic materials - making it the perfect workout pieces!

Although our clothing pieces are not specifically designed to be activewear, all of the points above conclucde that bamboo clothing is perfect for those who want something loose and relaxed when doing some physicaly activity. Our clothing is designed to be versatile, trans-seasonal and worn time and time again! We have no doubt you'll find a style suitable to you and your active lifestyle.

Don't fret if you're just starting out on your workout journey and don't have anything to wear - because if you have Bamboo Body already in your closet - then we have you covered! Not only are our pieces soft and luxurious, but they also have many properties that are suitable for activewear. Whether you're looking for some easy breezy hiking wear, or need something loose for yoga, our bamboo active styles are the perfect choice if you're looking for comfort and breathability. Our bamboo fabric is extremely lightweight and can help regulate body temperature while absorbing moisture, keeping your body fresh and dry! Since our bamboo fabric is thermo-regulating and has a UPF rating of 50+ they're ideal for working out absolutely anywhere, whether it's taking a hike outdoors or practicing yoga at home.
