What do you wear to the gym/fitness classes?

Hey all...

I'm just curious what you all wear to the gym/fitness classes, AND how do you feel in it?

For me, I just started going to the YMCA and am still pretty big, but I decided yesterday to wear tighter pants and a tighter sports tank top. At first I was unbelievably self conscious, and kept thinking... "OMG I'm so much bigger than everyone else", but after a bit I felt like I was actually proud of myself for being able to show off my rolls, and prove to others that regardless of your weight you still can work out.

It was really cool to look at it the other way...

So, how about you?

When I run at the gym (speed work on the treadmill once a week) I wear my tiny running shorts, sports bra and a tank. It gets very hot and I'm working very hard. When I walk onto the floor, I generally notice that I'm practically naked, though my stomach and chest are completely covered, but once I start the workout, I'm comfortable and unaware.

For yoga classes I do capris and a tee. I make sure the shirt is long enough that it's not going to ride up and expose my warped mom stomach to the world.

So for me comfort is key and workout intensity trumps self conciousness everytime. If your comfortable in tighter clothing go for it! They make workout clothes that way for a reason!
