Be sure to come to training with water. You can and should drink to fill the needs of the body. It is not necessary to buy a special bottle — ordinary plastic with a dispenser will do.

If an athlete is just going to visit the gym for the first time, it is not necessary to buy sportswear, equipment, a bottle for cyclists, etc. in advance. There is a high risk that things will be covered with dust in the pantry. First you need to make sure that your intentions are serious, understand what you will have to focus on in the gym and gradually buy the necessary clothes and inventory.

Gym Shoes
So far, this is one of the most important elements of clothing. When performing many exercises, the support goes to the feet: squats, running, aerobics, zumba, yoga...What is the risk of incorrect load distribution:

the minimum damage is the inefficiency of the exercise, just the time spent;
somewhere in the middle is a minor pain or sprain after the gym;
the maximum is a serious injury requiring long—term treatment.

Do you remember how terribly uncomfortable it is to walk in beautiful, but small shoes? Under load, the discomfort increases by 3 times. Therefore, choose sneakers strictly according to the size, width and height of the foot. You may have to try on more than a dozen pairs, but the right shoes fully justify themselves.

It is worth doing physical exercises in comfortable clothes and shoes. This is not only aesthetics, but also safety: wide T-shirts cling to inventory, soft backs do not keep the foot on the treadmill, etc. But the problem of what to go to the gym is still relevant — a novice athlete hesitates for a long time between his favorite stretched leggings from home and a super-expensive set from a branded store.
