Do you find wearing gym wear encourages you?

I found that wearing exercise clothes helps with motivation. If your goal is to go to the gym 3 times a week, wear exercise clothes 3 times a week with the intention of opening the door and go. Set an intention to what you do, it helps to move from the "thought" to the "action"
This. If work-out clothes are the first thing I put on that morning, no makeup, no heels, I'm going to work out. If I've just had a shower and done my absurdly difficult to style hair, not a chance.0 -

Thats it, I dont see why some girls wear overly revealing stuff! Nice to see ladies caring what their husbands think not randomers
I only care what my boyfriend thinks look good, but I wonder if I feel like I look the part it will encourage my mentality and determination?
I'm gonna go with,
1. Because their idea of "revealing" is different than yours
2. Because they don't have a problem with the female body and what it looks like
3. And because they are probably a little tired of being told to cover up while men are allowed to walk around shirtless altogether and not be judged as though that means they desire sexual things from people or invite the judgement of their intentions.
I was thinking that too - plus it means eff all to me what someone else is wearing at the gym. If it floats their boat and all that.0 -

I was sort of amazed anyone noticed. Normally I'm trying so hard not to make a complete fool of myself that I don't even recognize the existence of other gym-goers! Ha ha! And if they wear next to nothing or a full suit I don't care. Who am I? Some chick trying to get healthy, just like them. If they need a 3 piece suit or a bikini to help them get where I'm going, I will back them up all the way.0 -

Same here.
My workout clothes are also pretty old from before I gained my weight, since I don't like shopping.0 -

Glad I am not the only one who doesn't like to shop0 -
I wouldn't wear a cropped top in the gym ..I'd feel like I'd be saying look at me ..bad enough in my gym gear which is tight fitting anyway
This too. I think comfort is more important.
Some lady game into the gym in her plain Jane gym clothes, but then decided to leave in three inch heels while still in her gym clothes. The majority snickered behind her back about that one, and I thought it was a little odd too.
Gym is for working out and comfort is first and foremost.0 -

No judgement, but spaghetti straps are for ENHANCING small shoulders. With the broad shoulders of a man, my fashion advice is boatneck dresses or single-shoulder neck high wrap dresses;) the former really enhances the collar bone, while the latter minimizes the look of broad shoulders while still drawing attention to the definition of the scapular muscles and upper arm0 -

Wearing workout gear that I used to be able to find in 2x-3x motivates me. Wearing stretchy clothes In smaller and smaller sizes rather than big baggy clothes motivates me.0

These are vests in the U.S.
LOL
Those are waistcoats
Work out vest
In the US, that's a tank top....if it's still called the same thing as it used to be.0 -

Colorado here, confirming that that is indeed a Tank-top in USpeak. But I have heard them referred to as racerbacks because the shoulder bits connect in the back...0 -

*hugs living room treadmill* I go when I must because of the 2 year old. My sister works in the nursery at the rec center so he can be with someone he knows and I'm free for two hours.
ETA: My only work out time option at home is naptime. He thinks it's completely hysterical to drop toys on the treadmill and watch me try to jump over them and not die. Hysterical.0
