The rainy season can be a major pain in the backside for those of us who love to work out outside. A sudden rainstorm can make you reconsider your plan to go for a run or do some bodyweight training on your terrace or in a nearby park. However, it turns out that exercising in the rain can improve your fitness. Working out in the cold and rain tests your stamina, burns more fat, and increases resistance – plus it’s unquestionably more fun than plopping down on a treadmill indoors. Plus what’s better than having a whole fitness wardrobe?
However, a haphazard workout in the rain with no planning can be unpleasant, if not dangerous. You’ll need a monsoon-friendly activewear wardrobe to make your rainy-day workouts comfortable, safe, and pleasant.
We’ve curated a list of fitness wardrobe essentials for you which you must buy this monsoon!
