At Peter Harris, we understand the importance of having the right gear to support your fitness journey, especially when working out from the comfort of your own home. Whether you’re doing a quick 20-minute workout or committing to a longer session, the right activewear can significantly impact your performance and comfort. The right outfit can help you stay focused, move freely, and even motivate you to keep pushing toward your fitness goals.
Here’s a look at how to choose the best activewear for various at-home workouts and some top picks from Peter Harris to help you move, stretch and sweat with confidence.
Cardio and Endurance Training: Run, Cycle, Jump
Cardio workouts, whether it’s running on the treadmill, cycling or jumping rope, require activewear that can withstand high movement intensity and keep you cool during the session.
What to Wear
You need clothing that is breathable, lightweight, and designed to wick away sweat to prevent discomfort. Choose tops that allow you to move freely and bottoms that don’t restrict your stride.
Suggested Activewear
Our selection of breathable tank tops paired with lightweight leggings or moisture-wicking shorts are perfect for keeping you cool and comfortable as you work up a sweat. Look for fabrics like polyester blends that draw moisture away from the skin.
Yoga and Pilates: Flexibility and Comfort
Yoga and Pilates are known for their focus on stretching, strength and controlled movements, which require activewear that moves with your body and offers a full range of motion.
Suggested Activewear
For yoga and Pilates, our soft, stretchy leggings with a comfortable, high waistband provide both support and flexibility. Pair them with a formfitting sports bra or a loose-fitting tank top that moves with you, ensuring your clothing won’t restrict your movements during deep stretches or poses. Soft, breathable materials will help you stay cool, especially during longer sessions.
Strength Training: Durability and Support
Whether lifting weights or performing bodyweight exercises, strength training requires activewear that is durable enough to handle rigorous movements while providing the support needed for lifts.
Suggested Activewear
Compression leggings offer the perfect blend of support and flexibility, essential for strength training. Compression technology helps reduce muscle fatigue, while the breathable fabric ensures you stay dry. Pair with a fitted sports bra for added support and consider a moisture-wicking T-shirt that will keep you cool as you lift weights or do pushups, squats and lunges.
Low-Impact Workouts: Walking, Stretching, and Recovery
Low-impact workouts, such as walking, light stretching, or recovery days, still require activewear that’s comfortable, supportive, and offers ease of movement without restriction.
Suggested Activewear
We offer relaxed joggers and soft leggings, perfect for walking or stretching. Pair with a hoodie or loose-fitting T-shirt for ultimate comfort during light activity or recovery sessions. These options are great for staying comfortable during a cool-down or yoga stretch without feeling restricted.
At-Home Circuit Training: Versatility and Freedom
Circuit training involves a combination of cardio and strength exercises that require flexibility and versatility in your activewear. You’ll need clothing that’s both breathable for cardio and durable for strength exercises.
Suggested Activewear
For circuit training, try breathable leggings and fitted tank tops or sports bras. Compression leggings will offer support during squats and lunges, while a moisture-wicking tank top will keep you cool as you transition from strength exercises to cardio movements.
