Don\u2019t worry\u2014we\u2019re not checking out entirely. We\u2019re just taking advantage of indoors cross training to bridge the gap between snow and summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, as anyone who has ever sweated through a high-octane crossfit schedule or soaked their technical clothes during a spin class knows (we\u2019ll ask again: why is riding a stationary bike so hard?), one of the biggest challenges is keeping workout wear fresh and clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether they\u2019re bunched in the bottom of your gym bag, or diligently tossed in the laundry later that night, the funk of indoor workout wear is exacerbated by the inevitable byproduct of an indoors workout: sweat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a climate-controlled environment, sweat is almost guaranteed. Outside, there might be a breeze. Or fluctuating temps. Or something else to keep the wet at bay. (Or not, we\u2019ve ended many a <i>plein air <\/i>workout drenched, and, truth be told, it is highly satisfying).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either way, it requires TLC to take proper care of your apparel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Special note: when you\u2019re working out indoors, your feet will likely be sweating up a storm too. If you\u2019re going sockless\u2014a popular trend these days\u2014pull out your insole after a workout to let it dry. If you\u2019re just using insoles that came with the shoes, rinse them with BaseWash.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what does TLC for gym wear look like? A special detergent that will get rid of the grime without compromising the gear. And by that, we mean Nikwax <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikwax.com\/en-us\/products\/productdetail.php?productid=473&amp;itemid=-1&amp;fabricid=-1\">BaseWash<\/a>\u2014a great way to keep your shirts and shorts fresh and clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why a special detergent?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BaseWash cleans, deodorizes, inhibits the build up of body odors, accelerates drying, and improves cooling efficiency of synthetic base layers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that\u2019s a tall order for a cleaner. But it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BaseWash cleans and conditions simultaneously. It help prevent odor build up, which keeps your duds fresh. It also enhances and revitalizes the wicking properties of synthetic base layers, which increases breathability and helps fabric spread sweat and dry quickly. Get where we\u2019re going with this? Think positive feedback cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Put simply, regular detergent just doesn\u2019t perform as well. Sure, it can clean. But it won\u2019t provide the same results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of it this way: you take good care of yourself with exercise, so do the same for your workout wear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Between mud season and daylight savings time, we\u2019re finding more and more excuses to exercise inside these days.
