Arm Sleeves
Bring The Heat
Arm sleeves. Functional or Barbie Fitness circa 1984? After reading this, you might find yourself gravitating towards this garment. Here are some benefits to sporting arm sleeves….
Maybe you’re thinking, “Cute, but not for me.” Or, “ONLY on a dare...” And the list of cons continues… But did you know that although created for serious cyclists and runners arm sleeves can actually improve performance for the casual gym-goer? By keeping the muscles and tendons in your arms warm and loosened up, arm sleeves help make sure you’re hot and ready to sweat.
Perhaps the image of constantly having to push up and rearrange your arm sleeves while running on the treadmill has discouraged you from dressing up your gym duds. Arm sleeves of today have evolved from the fuzzy, cotton, and pastel sleeves of gym ensembles past. Take the Seamless Arm Warmers made by Pearl iZumi. They not only offer warmth and superior moisture absorption, but are constructed with enough elastic to ensure an optimal fit. Translation: You won’t have to stop running to “It’s Raining Men” to readjust.
Nike’s armwarmers combine equal parts flash and function, and can be worn both pulled up or scrunched down. In addition to warming the muscles and joints, these arm sleeves include a cut-away thumb-hole and ribbed cuffs to guarantee an even better fit. The Zensah arm sleeve is especially unique because it is the only arm sleeve that is anti-bacterial and made for both indoor and outdoor sports.
Arm sleeves are not only functional, but are sure to jazz up even the most tired-looking gray tee. Ranging from fuchsia, to bright blue to neon green, you’ll be sure to look cool and stay hot by sporting this latest fitness fad. Let’s take the “work” out of workout; it’s time to add a little flair to fitness…
