Yes, color psychology is a real thing! Different colors affect our mood, energy level, productivity, motivation, and concentration. For example, seeing the color red can literally increase your heart rate. In fashion terms, this means choosing a red outfit for your workout can help boost performance during boxing and kickboxing, HIIT workouts, cardio, or other high-intensity training sessions.
Psychologically, the color black is often linked to thoughts of power and dominance, and studies on professional football teams have shown that teams wearing black uniforms tend to beat teams in non-black uniforms. Slipping on black leggings or shorts and a black tank can boost your confidence and competitive drive, pushing you to work harder and longer than your opponent.
Neutrals, on the other hand, signal the brain to relax and are perfect for restorative workouts like yoga, post-boxing stretches, or active recovery day routines.
