Exercising Clothes Help

Options
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.

    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.

    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 :wink:

    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.

    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:

    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:heart: 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.

    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.

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