The high streets aren’t the only place for you to rock that sports luxe look. I’m sure you’ve given your outfit a tremendous amount of thought — from matching the slick minimalist pieces to finishing the look with complimentary sneakers. Pulling off this modern and stylish look of athleisure is no simple task and you shouldn’t just limit it to hitting the streets. These functional pieces can also double up as trendy outfits when you hit the gyms.
But apart from the plain old treadmill and men-dominated gyms, here are some uncommon exercises you can try. Rock that new sport luxe look and strut to these places for a refreshing new workout to make sure you stay in shape and counting emitting that sport and healthy vibe.
Lightsaber classes
Attending a lightsaber class might just the epitome of wholesome fun. While movie-buffs get to live out their Star Wars fantasy and learn how to wield a lightsaber, exercise junkies can partake in a real life sword fight with glowing swords. With classes that are held in the evening, you can expect visually captivating and hypnotic light trails dancing in the dark as you swing your glowing lightsabers in the dark. And with functional footwork and swordsmanship steeped in an imaginary and fictional world, this is one fun activity that will make working out exciting and even fun.
Martial arts
It is time to break the longstanding notion that fighting is bad. Learning the art of combat, like taekwondo, can help impart beneficial self defence skills while helping you stay lean and toned. The practical art of taekwondo is also rooted in striking techniques for defending, which is great if you are looking for a non-offensive sport. But for those keen to explore something more dynamic, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is fast gaining popularity for its decisive strikes and full-body workout. Regardless the martial art, you can be sure that you stay healthy and fit for all kinds of outfit while knowing you can defend yourself in emergencies.
CrossFit
Be prepared to throw away your misconception that CrossFit is only suitable for body builders looking to build up their muscle mass. By combining a variety of different activities like weightlifting, gymnastics and other functional movements, CrossFit will not only build functional body strength and conditioning. Their varied high-intensity workout will keep you from feeling bored as you unlock your athletic potential and discover kinaesthetic awareness. With this exerciser regime, you will find yourself looking good in all kinds of outfit and not just a sporty look.
Yoga
Achieve a complete head-to-toe wellness with yoga lessons. This is one exercise where you can now come down and enjoy the many benefits, from mind relaxation and stress relief to improved flexibility and increased muscle strength. But more than that, yoga can also help you develop soft skills such as concentration and self-confidence. Yoga is perfect for the modern working woman with endless deadlines and stress from work. As you unwind and relax while you exercise, you can also choose from the many types of yoga available to suit your differing needs and ailments, ranging from basic Hatha to pre and post natal yoga.
