You don’t want shorts that with constrict, catch, or squeeze anything while you’re in the middle of a position transition. These men’s yoga shorts from Nike are super stretchy and made mostly from their dri-fit polyester, meaning they wick moisture away rather than showing dark sweat stains in areas where people definitely see them based on your positioning. Get some shorts that will move with you without being so loose you show off what kind of boxer briefs you’re rocking.

Junk Headband in OD Green Review

via junkbrands.com

Weekly Theme: Summer Workouts

Summer workouts can be the best and the worst. They’re the best because it’s easy to warm up, and running outside is way better when it’s warm out. They’re the worst because when it’s too hot, it’s easy to over heat, get sweat in your eyes, and it can take a lot longer to cool down afterwards. So to help with the pitfalls of working out in the summer heat, we have items this week that will relieve some of the issues. To start off, let’s keep the sweat out of your eyes. Hats can be too hot and get in the way during overhead workouts, but headbands, like this one from Junk (an industry standard), is a perfect way to keep your hair and sweat out of your eyes and face. Don’t stop mid-workout to wipe your face every 30 seconds, keep the sweat above your brow with a high-performance headband.

Blue Crown Pocket Tank Top Review

Weekly Theme: Gettin’ Sandy

In addition, the pocket and the contrast hemming add just a little bit of character for the tank not to be boring in the case your upper limbs aren’t saying what you want them to.
