In today's era, every girl wants to look fit and fine. This is the reason why women are also joining gyms in large numbers and have become more conscious about their fitness than ever before. Looking stylish while going to the gym has also become a kind of motivation for them. In such a situation, wearing tight-fitting workout outfits i.e. body-hugging leggings, tops and sports bras has become a trend. But have you ever thought whether this fashion is taking a toll on your health? On this, a fitness expert Jyoti told that wearing tight clothes in the gym can be harmful for both your skin and health.
Risk of skin infection
A lot of sweat comes out of the body in the gym. If you are wearing very tight clothes, then that sweat remains on the skin for a long time. This increases the risk of bacterial and fungal infections, especially in the underarms, waist and thigh area.
Effect on blood circulation
Tight clothes press the veins of the body, which can affect blood circulation. Wearing such clothes for a long time can cause problems like numbness, cramps or fatigue in the legs.
Difficulty in drying sweat
Tight clothes are not able to absorb sweat or do not allow air to pass. This does not allow the body to cool down and can cause overheating, which can cause fatigue or dizziness during workouts.
Skin rashes and allergies
Some synthetic and tight-fitting clothes, combined with sweat, can cause skin rashes and allergies. Sometimes it can also cause pigmentation.
Fitness expert's advice
Fitness expert Jyoti says that clothes that are skin-friendly, slightly loose fitting, should be chosen for workouts, so that the body is comfortable and the skin can breathe freely.

Choose clothes made of cotton and dry-fit fabric
