Layering Workout Gear in the Spring

Springtime brings us blossoming flowers, more sunlight, and additional excuses to get outside to enjoy the weather. However, before summer fully hits, spring also brings us varying temperatures, warm days with cold evenings, and inevitable rain showers. Here at Goal Five, we’ve determined that the key to dressing for activity in the spring and early summer is layers! Work smarter, not harder. 

Here are some go-to spring and early summer layering tips for when the weather can change as quickly as you can tie your shoes:

Wear sweats before you get your sweat on!

Keep your legs covered and warm on the commute to the gym or the field with these fan favorites:

Freasy Joggers promise and deliver comfort. These pants are lightweight and soft, proving an easy addition to throw on over any workout outfit. Pair it with a matching Freasy Hoodie for the ultimate warm up wear. 

Excel Joggers are the pants-version of our customer favorite Excel shorts. Four-way stretch fabric and a comfortable waist band make them the perfect pants to wear during warm-up or during the whole workout. 

Choose comfortable shorts to wear under your warm up sweats. 

Our new Go Again Bike Shorts are made with the same luxurious fabric as our Go-Again leggings and provide squat-proof comfort for the gym and on the go. The longer length allows for a chafe-free experience while the close fit makes them the perfect thing to wear under sweats.

Excel shorts are body skimming, yet not as tight as spandex. If you want a short that hugs tighter to the body to wear under another layer, these are a great option. 

Still seeing colder temperatures in the forecast?

Prioritize extra layering for every day activity when the weather stays chilly: 

The Foudy Longsleeve’s moisture-wicking fabric will help you stay covered and dry without feeling bulky. The thumb loop is the perfect thing for those days when you might need the extra coverage. 

The Go Again Leggings will keep your legs covered and secure with practical details like a mid-rise waistband and pockets on each side. Try them out in a cropped 21” or 26” length. 

Once you warm up, strip off to the top layer and go for a tank!

The Foudy pairs nicely over a tank once you’ve started to get your sweat on. For breathability and comfort, try the Advance Women’s Workout Tank and Mesh It To Me Tank. 

And our final go-to layer, rain or shine? A high-quality sports bra!

These two designs are perfect to wear under layers or on their own when the temperatures go high:

Pionxr Bra Top & 99er Bra, the ultimate look good, feel good essentials. 

If it already feels like summer near you,

ditch the sweats and long sleeves and embrace the shorts and tanks. Lucky you! 

Whatever your weather app says, we hope you find new ways to move and stay active this spring heading into summer. Have fun!
