Workout Style Tips | What I Wear for Running and Exercise
About this video
McGoff shares his personal workout outfit, discussing how he prioritizes comfort, functionality, and safety while still aiming to look presentable. He breaks down each piece from head to toe, including hats, compression wear, shorts, shoes, socks, and accessories, with recommendations tailored for shorter men who struggle finding properly fitting athletic clothes.
Key takeaways
- McGoff prioritizes comfort, functionality, and safety in workout attire over style, though he believes you can achieve both
- McGoff recommends finding athletic wear in smaller sizes, such as boys’ sizes for shirts and 7-inch inseam shorts, and brands like Under Armour and Asics for better fit and durability for shorter frames
- McGoff suggests consulting a running shop to find shoes suited to your specific foot shape, running style, and size rather than choosing based on brand or color
