Bike shorts, bikers, short tights – the same product but many different names. Finding the perfect bike shorts can be the difference between a comfortable and motivating workout experience and an awkward and tiring workout. Here are the most important factors to consider when choosing biker shorts for women. Material and breathability: Choose bike shorts made from breathable materials, such as polyester and spandex. This ensures that sweat is transported away from the body and provides a comfortable feeling even during intense workouts. Fit and comfort: A proper fit is crucial for comfort. Cycling shorts should fit snugly so they don't slip down. Make sure they allow enough freedom of movement for your exercises. The material should be soft and chafe-free to avoid irritation. Choose models with smart details such as pockets. High waist or low waist: Choose between high and low waist depending on your personal preference and workout activity. High waist provides extra support and coverage, while low waist provides a more relaxed feel. Seams and construction: Check the quality and placement of the seams. Flatlock seams reduce the risk of chafing, while well-sewn seams increase the durability of the bike shorts. With the right construction, support is provided in the areas that need it most. Seamless material is an advantage if you rub easily. Moisture-wicking and quick-drying: Effective moisture wicking and quick-drying properties are essential to keeping you dry throughout your workout, especially if you're training outdoors or participating in intense activities. Investing in high-quality biker shorts is crucial to your training comfort and performance. A pair of bike shorts from CLN Athletics will not only enhance your training experience but also increase your motivation to reach your training goals.

Learn moreWhat material is best for workout clothes?
When choosing materials for workout clothing, you should consider several factors, including comfort, moisture wicking, temperature regulation, and freedom of movement. Below are some common material choices and their properties. Cotton Pros: Cotton is soft and comfortable to wear. It's also breathable and absorbs moisture well, making it suitable for less intense workouts or everyday wear. Cons: Cotton tends to retain moisture, which can make it feel heavy and sticky during intense workouts. It also has poor insulation properties when wet, which can be problematic in cold weather. Polyester Pros: Polyester is lightweight and has excellent moisture wicking properties, helping to keep you dry during intense workouts. It's also quick-drying and holds its shape well. Cons: Some people may find polyester to be less comfortable against the skin than cotton, and it can also start to smell more easily if not cared for properly. Nylon Pros: Nylon is durable and hard-wearing, making it ideal for high-wear workout clothes. It's also quick-drying and moisture-wicking. Cons: Nylon can be less breathable than other materials and can sometimes feel less comfortable against the skin if not combined with other fabrics. Bamboo Benefits: A big plus of bamboo workout clothes is their eco-friendly nature. Bamboo is a fast-growing plant that doesn't require pesticides or fertilizers, and it can be grown with minimal water. This makes bamboo a sustainable and ecological alternative for workout clothes. It's also thermo-regulating and doesn't start to smell quickly. Disadvantages: Bamboo can be sensitive to abrasion. Bamboo fibers can wear down faster than some other materials, especially if exposed to a lot of friction. Therefore, we recommend that you always mix it with e.g. cotton and spandex, as we do at CLN Athletics. Spandex Benefits: Spandex is highly elastic and allows for good freedom of movement. It is often used as a complement to other materials to provide stretch in workout clothing. Cons: Spandex in high amounts can make the fabric feel less breathable, and it can also lose its elasticity over time. The best material for your workout clothes depends on your workout style, your preferences and the weather conditions. CLN Athletics workout clothes are made from a blend of different materials to take advantage of their different properties. It is important to try different materials and styles to find what suits you best and provides optimal comfort and performance during your workout.

Before you start working out, it's important to spend some time warming up. It's an incredibly important part of your preparation and has a number of benefits that can improve your workout results and help you avoid injuries. Today, we're going to take a closer look at some of these benefits. Improved mobility and flexibility The biggest benefit of warming up is that it prepares your muscles and joints for the activity you are about to perform. By increasing blood flow, your muscles become more supple and flexible. This makes it easier to perform movements with a greater range of motion and reduces the risk of muscle injuries. Mental preparation Warming up also gives you time to mentally prepare for your workout. By focusing on your movements and breathing during the warm-up, you can build a stronger connection between your brain and body. This improves your concentration and helps you perform the exercises correctly. Injury prevention A proper warm-up reduces the risk of injury by preparing your muscles and joints. By gradually increasing the intensity, you avoid overloading yourself that can lead to injury. Warming up is an incredibly important part of your workout routine. By taking the time to warm up properly, you can improve your workout results and stay injury-free. Don't forget to adjust your warm-up to the specific workout and if you have any injuries or the like. It's your best insurance for a safe and effective workout.

Learn moreSports Bra: One of the Most Important Workout Clothes You Choose
Breasts are not supported by muscles, but by skin and tissue, which can lose elasticity and stretch with a lot of jumping and shaking. If the rib cage is not properly supported, it can also result in back and neck pain. That's why you should invest in a good sports bra, regardless of your breast size. But which one should you choose? Here we list three things to consider: 1. Choose a sports bra with support tailored to your activity: The main task of a sports bra is to support your breasts while you exercise. Running, jumping and bouncing require more support than yoga and Pilates. A training bra should fit tighter than a regular bra, so that your breasts don't have room to move. But it shouldn't be so tight that it's uncomfortable. 2. A sports bra should have moisture-wicking material: Another thing that distinguishes a sports bra from "regular" bras is the choice of material. A good model should not feel wet when you sweat. All our models are made of technical materials that wick moisture away from the skin, so that it feels dry and comfortable throughout the workout. 3. Comfort and fit are crucial: Nothing ruins the joy of training like constantly having to stop to pull up your tights or straighten your bra. A comfortable training bra allows you to focus better on the workout itself. That's why we have carefully designed our models so that the fit is magical. SEE ALL SPORTS BRAS

Learn moreTights guide - Choose the best training tights
To think about Buying tights is not really as simple as just deciding which color or model you like best. Instead, ask yourself what activity you will primarily use your tights for. All activities become a little easier if you use products that are adapted to the purpose. If you are going to be outdoors at night, you need to be visible. Then you need tights with reflectors. Do you need to carry keys or a phone with you? Then you need a pocket to store it in, for example. Is it time for a tough workout in the CrossFit box? Then you need a pair of tights that stay in place. Tights should fit snugly, otherwise they look like jogging pants that are too small. That's why they're called tights. They should fit snugly against your body and not flap when you move. It's a pain if tights fit well in the legs but loose in the crotch and waist, in which case you will, regardless of activity, have to pull them up all the time. It may then be because it's not just the size that's wrong, but that particular model doesn't suit you because we all look different. Tights for all occasions Choose tights that are "top of the line". Tights that are multifunctional with a wide range of uses that are really well thought out. They should have a perfect fit, stay in place and of course be stylish. They should be made of a functional and flexible material. They should be available in several different lengths and colors. They should work just as well at the gym as at home on the couch. We recommend you choose Fuse tights! Our by far most popular model with a 4.7/5 customer rating. They are also available in several lengths, colors and sizes. Tights for relaxed days Choose regular tights that are comfortable. Preferably a ribbed model that doesn't have seams that chafe and also shapes and highlights your curves. Our tip is Luma ribbed seamless tights! Tights for strength training Choose tights that are comfortable and flexible and guaranteed squat proof. Extra compression at the waist to keep the tights in place. Choose Victory seamless tights! Running tights Choose tights with pockets where you can stash your keys and phone. A drawstring waist is a must because if there's ever a time when tights can slip down, it's when running. Our favorite is the Charge tights. Shorter tights for warmer weather Choose tights that are suitable for both high-intensity training, gym, running and walking. Buy tights that are breathable, shorter and have smart storage. High waist and drawstring are a must when running, for example. Choose Bike pocket shorts or Fuse bike shorts! Tights for colder weather Choose tights that are suitable for both running, walking and skiing. Feel free to buy tights with reflectors so that you are visible. A brushed inside for extra comfort and warmth and a drawstring at the waist are also preferable so that they stay in place. Pockets for smart storage of keys, mobile phone or wallet are a must. Choose Visual winter tights or Mood pants! Tights for the basic wardrobe We have to say it again. You can never compromise on the quality of a pair of training tights. That's why if you're going to buy a pair, it should be a model that has multiple uses. Our absolute most popular model is Fuse tights. If you're going to choose a model, choose this one! Plus, it comes in several different lengths and colors.
