Although sweating for hours in a gym may not seem like an activity deserving of catwalk-inspired clothing, why not add a little sex appeal to your sportswear ... just in case. Today, Saturday Life gives you a few tips on how to impress the girl while getting ripped.

If dribbling or hitting a ball is your chosen form of exercise, look for clothes that allow for maximum movement while you're running or jumping up and down the court. Sleeveless shirts and loose-fitting shorts will allow for limitless motion and cool colours like light blues and greys will help you beat the heat outdoors.

The track suit is more than a rapper's everyday get-up. For the avid runner doing laps around the track or jogging uphill, the track suit is a staple fashion item which has been much modernised in recent years.

With fabric ranging from cotton to polyester and colours and prints in the hundreds, your inner track star is sure to find a style suited for you.

Sweat pants offer a level of comfort perfect for bench-pressing weights, riding the bicycle or taking a walk on the treadmill.

If you're more into strength training offered by yoga, sweat pants also allow for maximum flexibility. Paired with a cotton graphic tee, you'll look casual yet stylish and ready to work.
