What to Wear for Indoor vs Outdoor Workouts

Indoor and outdoor workouts might share the same goal, but your clothing should not be the same for both. Temperature, airflow, sunlight, humidity and movement style all affect what you should wear. Choosing the right outfit ensures better performance, more comfort and less distraction during your session.

At First SQUAT, our activewear is engineered for different training environments so you always stay prepared whether you are hitting the gym floor or training outside.

Here is your complete guide on what to wear for indoor vs outdoor workouts.

Why Environment Matters in Workout Clothing

Indoor environments have controlled temperatures and smoother airflow, while outdoor environments change constantly. Your clothing needs to adapt accordingly.

How Environment Affects Performance

• Different temperatures impact sweating
• Outdoor wind affects heat loss
• Sun exposure influences fabric choice
• Flooring changes movement style
• Humidity affects breathability
