What are the best leggings for your training type? 

So you take your fitness pretty seriously (or so you think)

Like any self-respecting gym junkie, you work out every other day, and meal prep meticulously. Your Instagram is a scrapbook of gym selfies, and you prefer deadlifts to donuts. You activate your own almonds and you spend your Friday evenings foam rolling (too far?).

But have you ever thought about the fabric on your skin, and how it can affect the way you feel when you're working out?

Seamless activewear might be a fitness buzzword, but there are still plenty of lifting ladies who aren't sure what it actually means!

That's why we went behind the scenes of seamless, so you can brush up on your fashion facts and discover what leggings are best for your workout style!

What makes seamless special?

Step one in your seamless scholarship: understanding the difference between seamless and regular leggings. 

While they might look the same to the naked eye, regular leggings are created using an entirely different sewing method, called cut and sew

With cut and sew, woven pieces of fabric are sewn together on a machine called an overlocker, hence all of the different kinds of seams you find on some of your favorite workout sets, from the waistband to the crotch seam. An array of different fabrics and materials can be used for cut and sew, whether it's compression, mesh or performance fabrics. 

Contrastingly, seamless leggings for women involve not only a different style of production, but also have their own unique fabric, which is knitted rather than woven. 

Seamless fabric is knitted on a tubular machine, with only the inner leg seams stitched together. Because seamless fabric is a knit fabric, it tends to be far more lightweight, with more stretch and shape retention than regular leggings. 

Because of the absence of any seams or stitches, seamless leggings are also super unrestrictive, flexible and offer maximum freedom of movement. In other words, they're created for those heart-racing HIIT sessions where your body has to flex and move without limits. 

What leggings are best for the gym?

It all comes down to personal preference. Some have a soft spot for seamless, others revel in regular leggings. It's never a case of one being better than the other, however there are a few unique elements to think about before you slide over to www.ryderwear.com

If you prefer a tighter, more compressive fit, and like to keep all of your curves tucked in, then you'll most likely prefer regular cut leggings.

However, if you're a lover of super-lightweight activewear, then you'll go wild for the naked, barely-there feel of the seamless fabric. 

It's also worth being aware that not all seamless is created equal. While every seamless piece has the same aim of offering maximum stretch and flexibility, there are different types of fabric on the seamless spectrum. 

Collections like Freestyle and the upcoming Electra Seamless range offer a more solid fabric, typically in plain block colours. While the fabric composition is the same, this fabric (let's call it solid seamless) tends to be on the more compressive side. 

Collections like Oasis Seamless will offer a Marl fabric, which is two different yarns knitted together, creating the look of having white flecks through the fabric. Marl seamless fabric is usually lighter and stretchier, however doesn't have the same secure, compressive feel as solid seamless. While the diversity of seamless fabrics doesn't end there, Ryderwear usually opt for either a solid or Marl seamless, typically blending in seamless mesh or rib panels through the fabric.

The fabric on your skin can make a huge difference to your workouts, affecting movement, functionality, and confidence at the gym. Seamless activewear, most importantly seamless leggings, feature stitchless fabric that is durable, breathable, lightweight and contouring that doubles as a second skin, maximising your performance at the gym. Let's take a look at the main benefits seamless leggings can provide for you:

Durable Seamless Leggings

Seamless leggings' main feature is stitchless fabric that has the elasticity to support a flow of movement with no restriction. Allowing full functionality at the gym, seamless leggings can be worn for light cardio to heavy lifting and high performance workouts without the risk of tearing a stitch. Only the highest quality seamless leggings demonstrate squat proof abilities, proven by Avvini's seamless leggings range that features four way stretch fabric for extreme flexibility and that deep squat action. 

Breathable & Lightweight Seamless Leggings

Enhanced sweat absorption and ventilation abilities create a seamless legging comparable to a second skin, molded to your figure for effortless movement. Avvini's moisture wicking fabric with quick dry technology within the seamless leggings range features 88% Nylon material. Nylon is best known for quick drying, lightweight and resilient properties, essential in creating a high-functioning seamless leggings range. Seamless leggings won't weigh you down, increasing your agility in making rapid, swift movements even during the hardest, sweat inducing workouts.

Contouring Seamless Leggings

Confidence at the gym is hard to find, being one of the the main motivators in gym attendance for women. Seamless leggings provide curve-hugging, feature-enhancing abilities with no stitching in places you don't want. Avvini utilises a high-waisted compressive ribbed waistband in aid of creating that hourglass figure, paired with the durable, breathable and lightweight characteristics will ensure confidence and comfortability at the gym.
