Whether you are working out at the gym or exercising in the vicinity of your own home, having a sports towel is essential for wiping away your sweat to limit the spread of germs and toxins. If you are at the gym, it is important to use a sports towel to wipe down the sweat from the gym equipment that you have used so that the next person will be able to use it comfortably.
Sports towels come in an array of different sizes and colours which fit your personal preference and needs. A good sports towel should be super absorbent and will not tear easily so you can use it for a long time. Here are the 9 best sports towels in Malaysia.
How many towels do you need for the gym?
If you are going to the gym to workout, it is advised to bring at least 2 to 3 sports towels as 1 towel may not be enough to wipe down the sweat on your body and the gym machines that you have used.
How often should I change my sports towel?
You should change your sports towel daily and after each use as it is not advised to reuse your sports towel due to the accumulated sweat and dirt that is already on the towel. A good tip is to wash your sports towels in a washing machine.
