 What up fellas it's your boy Johnny and I know it's Thanksgiving So thank you for clicking on this video because most likely you're bored at your family gathering right now And you're feeling a little guilty for all that pumpkin pie that you weigh in turkey and stuffy and all that and don't worry I'm at my family gathering right now, and I'm most likely eating some hot pie Anyways, we live in a world that has never been more active and aware about things that affect our health We also live in a world where wearing athletic wear is acceptable and in a lot of cases It's actually pretty fly everyone has gotten into fitness or we'll get into fitness at one point in their lifetime So that is why in this video I'm going to be talking to you guys about why you need some athletic pieces in your wardrobe So starting it off the first reason why you need some athletic wear in your wardrobe Is this so damn comfortable and probably the most versatile garments in fashion? If you guys didn't know athleisure is the combination of two words athlete and leisure meaning it can be worn for performance reasons and Comfort so you can wear it when delivering goods as Norman Reedus Seriously, I used to own these baggy gray Mila Kunis type sweatpants for when I'm chilling at my place But when fitness blew up and athleisure became popular Those have become a thing of the past and I just wear my active gear at home And yes, I look at at home without even trying and its versatility also allows you to wear in everyday Streetwear outfits track pants have been combined with denim jackets for a while now a simple black fitted hoodie can be worn to Sweat the gym or to layer under a jacket and brands nowadays have been on this for years making performance and comfortable lifestyle sneakers like the Element 55 the react presto's and still one of my favorite sneakers till this day the original ultra boost 1.0 Because athleisure has gone so mainstream nowadays any athletic piece or gear that you get can for the most part be worn in your normal Casual or streetwear outfits, so if you don't have any athletic wear in your wardrobe Why not pick some up for the comfort and the versatility now? The next reason why I should pick up some athletic wear is because it's gonna make you feel good Most athletic wear is going to emphasize your physique and even if you're not in the best shape It still looks freaking awesome And if you guys didn't already know fitness has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember I've always been an active kid Skateboarding and playing sports, but I was also hella skinny at 127 pounds in high school and college Then I got really into fitness because of social media and went from 127 pounds to 154 pounds currently and I've spent a long amount of time working in the fitness industry But I never really got into athleisure athleisure I just wear some tank tops some joggers and just work out and yes Even then I still put on some size, but man Is there a huge difference from buying athleisure athleisure versus just wearing your h&m tank tops and a pair of joggers? I am a firm believer that looking good makes you feel good and in turn makes you more confident And if you're more confident, you're gonna lift better You're gonna perform better or it's going to give you enough motivation to get started at the gym Recently I picked up some new athleisure items and man do I feel a difference at the gym? So let's talk about the sponsor of today's video that helps keep my lights on Essentials so if you guys didn't already know essentials has been a huge part of my channel and they were actually my very first sponsor They even flew me out last month to LA for the essentials pop-up where I got to meet a ton of you guys But anyways essentials is a men's clothing brand started over by the Zenigas over at teaching men's fashion And they focus on making you guessed it Essentials for men what's so great is they've now diversified their collection into not just essential shirts But essential items and pretty much most of the fashion spectrum So if you're a dapper fella, they've got polos handleys and genoes for you If you're into streetwear and athleisure like me this Saturday November 30th at 10 a.m They are dropping their new bomber jackets and track suits and much much more and using my discount code Tie 10 is going to save you additional money I really like essentials because most of their pieces can be worn in and out of the gym and from my experience washing any of the Items I got from essentials has not shrink and that just goes to show that their pieces are made really well And that makes the dollar to usage ratio Priceless for me. I've been rocking their hoodies muscle T's and shorts a ton lately for the gym I look good I feel good and I lift better but also the hoodie has been paired with too many of my outfits Which makes copying the hoodie worth it now I went with the size large with the hoodie because I don't like super tight-fitting hoodies And this has been my most worn item for the fall and winter so far and I probably should wash this and just as a Bonus for you guys and and me too because I'm gonna be shopping there this Saturday They are giving away a free pair of underwear for every item that you get so if you buy 10 items They're gonna give you 10 pairs of free underwear.

What else is functional athleisure? So yes athleisure is a great segue to active wear where you dive more into windbreakers and technical fabrics that form this aesthetic Which eventually will lead into tech wear. So yeah active wear does have some crossover with tech wear It's just not as crazy or very loud now the last reason why you need athletic wear is because anyone can wear it You don't need to be a certain body weight or body fat percentage to rock these items You don't need to be on keto or do intermittent fasting You don't need to be able to death of 600 pounds and sell sour strips And you don't need to be a subscriber to smash that like button.
