How to Extend the Life of Your Fitness Gear

Your fitness gear is an investment in your health. Here's how to keep it in top condition:

Running Shoes

Replace running shoes every 300-500 miles. Store them in a cool, dry place. Avoid putting them in the washing machine; hand wash with mild soap instead.

Cycling Gear

Clean your helmet regularly with soap and water. Check the foam and straps for damage. Replace your helmet after any significant impact.

Swimming Gear

Rinse swimsuits immediately after use in fresh water. Air dry flat, away from direct sunlight. Replace goggles if the seal degrades.
