You don’t need to buy shirts for your workout session. Take a look in your wardrobe and consider the potential there to turn your old tees into workout shirts. It may seem tricky but it’s really fun to do.

To start, cut out the neckline of your old t-shirt. You may remove the sleeves and the bottom hem as required. Experimenting with the sleeves is a good idea, that way if you mess up, you still have room to completely remove the sleeves, leaving you with a simple workout shirt.
