The Best New Workout Gear

According to US News, chronic pain sufferers should wear layers of wicking clothing when they work out. That's because wicking clothing helps keep your body parts warm and dry, no matter how much you sweat during your workout. It's also lightweight enough to allow you to move freely. Try the Merrell Longmont shirt for your workout needs. It is an extremely versatile top, with a racerback stretch tank and a lightweight, moisture-wicking shrug on top for those chilly warm ups.

Additionally, avoid cotton, which just absorbs moisture when you sweat and can lead to chafing.

If you have knee pain, having the right shoe is essential to a safe workout.

If you have pain inside of knee, Trails.com suggests the Avia 2244 Lateral Support Mesh Running Shoes. The model is available for both men and woman, and is a breathable shoe. The cushion in the shoe allows your foot to land in a neutral position, relieving your medial knee pain.

If you have pain on the outside of the knee, Trails.com recommends the New Balance WR850 (pictured left) with premium cushion. The shoe offers heavy-duty support for people who over-pronate (that's a fancy way to say they put more pressure on the toe when they walk).
