Best Summer Colors to Boost Workout

Physical exercise is important for the body regardless of the weather. But all that summer heat and sweat might demotivate you. So, psychology has used colors to boost your workout motivation. Below is a list of some colors that influence your mind to a great extent.

Remember that these colors are suitable not only for gym wear but also for the gym walls and interior.

Knowing that red is often used as a dynamic or attention grabbing color chances are you expected this one to head the list. This assumption, unlike some, would be correct. According to color psychology red invokes a feeling of alertness,  causing the body to produce more adrenaline. What’s the result for you? You can take all this energy and put it into your intense workout, be it HIIT Cardio or boxing. Don’t be afraid to mix it up a bit with your color choice to bring some cool down to all that energy.

Many people view exercise as a way to destress after a long day or two. The release of endorphins (the happy hormone) you get a dose of during and after the workout can be the perfect remedy to a strenuous work week. Adding something blue to this stress relieving remedy can make for an even more soothing result. The color blue is associated with productivity, making your fitness goal of the day or week seem more obtainable.

We’ve all been through the “Okay I’m going to do it tomorrow,” cycle before. Even for the most can-do attitude individuals, the procrastination mantra you may adopt after a harsh gym session can be hard to break. Having adopted this mantra a few times in the step to achieve fitness goals, we are happy to share a secret with you. Green has been shown to increase motivation in those who have a “high need for achievement.” The color has also been seen to have a positive effect on optimism, making it a good choice for getting your mind back on all the reasons you set out for your fitness goal.

Working out doesn’t have to be a chore, in fact it can become one of the most exciting parts of your day. Vibrant orange gym wear might get you all excited for the workout. It always uplifts the mood. It is a happy color. It makes one more energetic and boosts his enthusiasm for whatever they’re up to. Don’t underestimate the power of this color.

If you’re not a person that’s big on too much bright colors, you can always tone down the look with a darker color. Another plus of these colors is that it has a slimming affect, pairing something neutral or darker with a more vibrant piece allows you the freedom to choose what you decide to accentuate.
