    It doesn't apply now because I'm an adult and workout much more on MY terms now. That being said, back when I was a hardcore ballet dancer as a teen, I would wear my dance clothes all day under a cover up because my mother would drive me to and from my lessons, and generally I didn't have a place to change into a fresh outfit after. Granted, I feel like as a teen I was less gross sweaty, so it didn't bother me at all. Now, sweaty clothes feel bunchy and gross and I would twist myself into a pretzel to get out of them and into something dry.

    I workout after work, at or near work depending what I'm doing that day, and by the time I get home after a 20 minute drive with the windows down, I'm pretty well dry and ready to start making dinner. so I often stay in them until bedtime but wipe down with baby wipes before starting dinner. If I'm really soaked or feeling gross, I'll shower as soon as I get home.

    This. If I have the kids, I have got to get them to bed before I can think of eating dinner or taking a shower. And usually dinner takes precedence.

    I'll keep them on until I get home, which sometimes is 30 minutes to an hour later. But once I'm home, I change. Most of the time, I'm running or biking outdoors so nowhere to change anyway. But, even when I meet with my trainer, I wear my clothes home and then change.

    That said, I wouldn't have any issues if I didn't change, other than being stinky.

    I take mine off after I'm done, and put on warm clothes. For some reason I get the chills after cooling down.

    After I workout, I may have to go the market, come home to make dinner, check homework, clean up,anything that includes getting the children ready for bedtime. I cannot stop to shower and put on dry clothing right away. So, 99% of the time I am in sweaty clothing until I can get to "ME" which is usually around 9ish at night.

    I can't got all day - when I run, I get drenched.

    Now that it is warm and sunny out though, I will linger in my running clothes while sitting in the sun on our back deck, cooling down before I shower.

    I do sometimes wear clean workout clothes out and about - especially if I'm driving kids around or running errands before a planned run.

    I have also gone to Starbucks for a smoothie after a group run, but we don't linger.

    Depends on what I've done and what I'm doing after. If I work out and I still have to clean my house, I will stay in my clothes. If I don't have anywhere to be, I'll shower and hit the couch.

    Totally depends on the situation. If its a light workout and I don't sweat like a fiend, then they may stay on until I need to change for whatever reason, or if I get home and then need to make dinner, do stuff around the house, they stay on until I'm done with that. If on the other hand, I run and end up drenched in sweat, off they go and into the shower I go ASAP!

    It depends on what I'm doing after, if I will be cleaning house or something that I know will make me gross again then I leave them on, otherwise I take the wet with sweat things off!!

    I sweat so much that I literally peel the clothes off right when I'm done. Then I wash my face stat because sweat causes me to break out really bad. Not sure why! Then I will bum around for a few mins naked then shower. I work out at home! LOL

    I have been know to stay in mine on a Saturday or Sunday if I am cleaning around the house. Week nights, I come home, walk the dog and strip in front of the washer and throw it directly in. I don't want that sweaty close even in my laundry basket in my closet with the clean clothes.

    It depends on how gross I get and what I need to do afterwards. If, for example, I'm doing strength training first thing in the morning, I do that in comfy, cool clothes (since I work out at home or outdoors, no gym for me) and then clean up and change into work clothes. If I am going for a run on my lunch hour at work, I change into at least a different shirt to go for the run and then strip that and my sports bra off right afterwards and change back into my nice shirt, because it's embarrassing to be all sweaty in the office! If I'm exercising at home after work and am just going to go right out into the garden afterwards, I don't bother to change because I'll just get even dirtier. However, on a day like that, I jump in the shower right when I come in the house because with exercise clothes, garden grub, and probably sunscreen all over me, I feel ICKY!

    OH no.... once I'm done working out, they have to come off! Shower and fresh clothes is the name of the game.... it helps me feel refreshed and keeps the blood pumping for a bit longer!

    I do the same--however, summers in Houston are outrageously hot, so if I am going to be outside with the kiddos, I will leave them on until bedtime then rinse and get to bed. If I workout on the weekend its usually in the AM so I will shower and change into clean workout clothes or jeans.

    It depends on how sweaty I got. If I've done yoga or walking or something outside when it's cold and I didn't get very sweaty, I may not change. If I've done something that made me really sweat, or dirty (most of my workouts this time of the year are yard/garden work), then I shower and change, but usually into the same type of clothes. Unless we're entertaining, I pretty much wear workout clothes all the time when I'm home.

    I don't workout in a gym, but it depends on the weather for me. I exercise outdoors most of the time and if it's warm to hot weather and/or super humid, I come straight home and change clothes afterward. In Fall and Winter it's much more likely for me to do a long (like many miles) walk, hike or bike on a trail, and wear the exercise clothes for the rest of the day. I am not a big fan of the sporty look for going to dinner or whatever, it's just not 'me'...but I'll wear those clothes to grab some groceries or errands like that.

    I have to shower and change. Granted I start my exercise at 5:30 am and climb right into my workout clothes then sweat for the next hour or two. As comfortable as they are I stink and need to start my day fresh and clean.

    If i do a moderate workout where I don't sweat too much, then I may stay in my clothes for hours afterwards. As long as I am not leaving the house of course. If I run, or do cardio and I sweat, then it is like I can not shower fast enough.

    I stay in the workout clothes until I regain feeling in my feet and legs (my current Hip Hop Ab program is a beast!) then I need to get out of them.. as for showering, I do it after workouts as needed or right before bed if it's not bad

    I usually get too gross to lounge around in my workout clothes after I exercise. I don't even like to sit on the couch to drink my water and log my workouts when I'm done because I don't want to get my funk everywhere... I sit on the floor, log it, and hit the shower.

    My gym is 45 minutes from home. I sit in them that long. Then by the time that I get home (typically after 7), I'm so damn hungry that the first thing I do when I get home is eat. Once I'm sitting down I generally don't want to move until I have to, so I'll sit a bit before I get up to shower.
