Expert Answer

It can actually help to wear fewer clothes when working out! This way, you'll have an easier time spotting any of your body's biomechanical deficiencies, like a shifting hip or ribcage.

What natural fabrics are ideal when exercising?

Community Answer

Cotton is usually the best, as it soaks up moisture very well and lets the skin breathe more than other fabrics.

Form-fitting clothes are the best. Baggy clothes restrict movement and may get caught on equipment.
