Expert Tip of the Week: A step in the right direction
June 27, 2011 3:56 AM

When it comes to getting in shape, finding the proper workout attire can be just as important as the workout itself.
K.C. Murphy, manager of Omega Sports in Jacksonville, said the right wardrobe builds confidence and ensures safety.
“I think if you feel good about yourself then you'll perform better; that goes for everybody,” he said.
For maximum results, Murphy recommends items that are lightweight, comfortable and fit the body properly from head to toe. When shopping for those items, however, customers actually should start from toe to head. Omega Sports offers a free shoe fit analysis that helps select the best insole or shoe to give proper arch support, posture and balance. This analysis has been recommended by local podiatrists, physical therapists and those who serve in the military, he said.
