Exercising Clothes Help

What kind of clothes do you wear when you exercise, like for working out exercises? I know that's kind of a stupid question, but I'm so not comfortable in the clothes I usually exercise in.

I wear, lululemon thin yoga pants, or shorts, along with an athletic tank top, and some serious NIKE's on my feet, I think you need to dress for comfort, and buy clothing that breathes.

i wear exercise shorts (why are they so expensive?!?!?) and baggy t-shirts.

also, avoid fake workout shoes (nike shox, kangaroos, most puma's you get at the puma store)

I usually wear exercise pants from Danskin, either their knit or yoga pants and capri's and I use cotton t-shirts usually white. Hanes sports bra's and either my Nike or Adidas sneakers.

Hey, hey...don't knock the pumas they are AMAZING for yoga and for Zumba classes! :laugh:

I work out at home so I don't have to worry about clothes. Sports bra & underware and of course shoes and socks. Now as it gets nicer out and I start running and walking outside. Yoga pants, shorts, tank tops.

I wear technical fabrics, or clothes that wick away sweat. These types of clothes don't get sweaty and then cling to you like 100% cotton, the sweat dries fast and you stay cooler in hot weather. And if it is cold you won't freeze because of wet clothes. Target has a good like by champion, Wal Mart has a danskin line-those are the cheeper ones.

I find that it's pretty much what ever is comfortable... usually a pair of shorts, sometimes my Adidas shoes, sometimes my Sketchers, shirt is optional, depending on how cold/warm in the house it is

i have some old knit elastic waist pants that are too short or just ugly - I cut them off just below the knee for walking.

I really like the champion brand that is sold at target. It is less expensive than some but I think the sports bras are better fitting than nike or adidas, not to mention champion is the only brand I have found that allows for boobs over the size of a 38D and doesn't tug on my shoulders.

I prefer the champion for the wicking materials too, and I will be honest, under armor might be good but it is twice as expensive and between us, I don't plan on wearing them that long

Shoes, I am an asics fan plain and simple. I have yet to find another brand shoe that my feet like as much as the asics for running but I also like adidas, brooks and new balance for walking or gym shoes.

Speaking of bras, if any of you are big chested like me, what kind of bra do you wear?

I'm with you on the Champion bras, they make my ta tas quite happy!

I just went to the Nike Outlet this morning and bought some more of the workout tops (screaming sales! yeah me :bigsmile: ) made out of the technical (dri-fit) fabric. I used to wear t-shirts but they get in the way plus they stay wet. I like to be able to see what I'm doing (I exercise in front of a mirror to make sure I have proper form). The t-shirts didn't let me see what I was doing. I also find the tighter yoga type pants better for the same reason. The baggier style get in the way.

That's what works for me! :drinker:

Binxy2004

thin yoga pants(cus they are stretchy and thin) t-shirt (cus i have a ton) and tennis/ running shoes

tracylynne29

The champion sports bra works fine when I'm not running. I need something stronger for the ta-tas!

My favorite pair of pants came from Victoria's Secret when they were doing their fitness wear. They're called shock absorbers. They're light and airy! I them. Should've got more. They don't fall down like some yoga pants do which drives me insane when I'm on the elliptical.

Then I just wear some random t-shirt or wife beater.

Shoes are New Balance.

Are you dressing like me!? :laugh: :laugh:

I wear super baggy cotton pj pants. I can't move in tight clothes and the thin cotton ones breathe really well. I pair those with a basic tank and a really tight sports bra.

ivykivy

I usually wear a pair of fitted shorts and fitted t-shirt. I do aerobics barefoot and treadmill work with reeboks.

Champion Bra, is I think around 16. And there are a few different styles. I really like them too, trying to get every single color!

mrsyac2

I wear sweat pant capri's and a cotton fitted tee- and of course sneakers and 2 sports bras- my HRM

Mom_To_5

I wear either stretchy yoga capri's or pants, super comfy(which i bought at Zeller's and WalMart) and a sports bra and tank top or just sports bra depends on how warm//cold it is in the house and my Saucony Trigon 5 Progrid Guide shoes are awesome!! They were recommended to me at SportCheck.

When i go to the gym, i wear cheap walart workout pants that fit like yoga pants and a t-shirt (because jeans are not allowed). When I jog with the dogs, though, I wear jeans. I know that's weird, but workout pants do not provide the support I need when doing a lot of "bouncing" around. When I wear looser fit pants and run, my skin itches and crawls for hours afterward... I think because as I run I get tiny tears on the outermost layer of skin. The jeans hold everything in place, though... call me crazy if you want.

i refuse to pay big $$ for workout clothes for 2 reasons - 1) I plan to shrink out of them by summer... and 2) I'm a major klutz and always either spilling things on my clothes or getting them snagged on stuff. My "workout" pants are already getting pretty loose...

beautifullyjaded

haha i go to the gym at 5 am daily so i wear my pajama bottems and a baggy t-shirt and my champion tennies. its comfy and i refuse to be un comfy while workin out.

Georg

miso- here's a question for you -
My belly has been itching since I started exercising, like a light sunburn or something. Is that what you've experienced with loose exercise clothing?

hmo4

I wear what my pic shows. Champion bra is great! I need some new stuff to keep that motivation going....:happy:
