I am day dreaming about the day I will be able to start going to the gym... and so I am browsing sports clothes. That made me think - what do you think is the best attire for an intense session at the gym, what do you normally wear? Are there and do's and don’ts one should be aware of?

I typically wear compression shorts and a form fitting tank top. I like my gym clothes to be form fitting as to not catch them on any of the machines.
But typically anything goes0 -
I used to wear one of my husbands shirts and a pair of workout pants. I don't advise jeans, but have seen people work out in them. Seems like it'd chafe? I don't like my body so I hide it under as much baggy attire as I can get away with. When I was running and at a comfortable weight and I was a bit more confident and comfortable with my body I wore the tight running pants and a fitted running shirt. I didn't go to the gym then
Now I am a mom and I don't have the time for the gym so I wear one of my husbands t-shirts and a pair of work out capri's and do 30DS in my living room before the little one wakes up.0 -
Usually yoga pants or I actually wear black tights, the ones that go down to my calves and a tank top. Usually the tights on cardio days.0

wear something that is easy to move in and comfortable for you! I wear lots of UA and lulu...0

A pair of my boyfriend's old shorts and a bigger t-shirt. I don't give a damn what I look like, I'm just there to get all red and sweaty anyway0

This. I also love the tanks and boyfriend shirts from Victoria's Secret to pair with my leggings/yoga pants. I look like a fat load but at least I am comfortable.0 -
Yoga pants or sweatpants and a reasonably tight-fitting shirt (it bothers me if a loose shirt is flapping around when I am exercising).0

I wear a short sleeved T and yoga pants.0

Yoga pants (Victoria's Secret are my favorite) and tank tops or these long v-neck tees that I found at Target. They're fitted, super soft and comfy. They're thin, so I wear a tank under them too.0

yoga pants/ capris and a tshirt. usually a long sleeved shirt or sweatshirt too..........0

Shorty shorts and a tank top0

Shorts and a tank if it's hot. Pants (sweats/track pants/semi-fitted sport trousers) and a tee if it's cooler.
I can't afford to shell out for things, most 5Ks give you a free tee for showing up, so those get a lot of use before they go to the rag bag. You can pick up tanks pretty cheaply at old navy when they go on sale. For shorts/pants, I watch for sales, trawl the second hand shops and places that sell seconds like TJMaxx and Gabriel Brothers. Currently Champion's website has all bottoms on sale (sports bras too).0 -

Same here, I can't go to the gym ATM due to working full time and having a little one at home. Hopefully when she starts full time kindergarten I can find some time for the gym! I have the 30d shred dvd but no opportunity to work out at home at all - my daughter won't let me when awake and would woke up if I did it when she is asleep
Thank you all for the repplies... I think I like the yoga pants and a tank top idea the most0 -
It depends on how I feel...
If I feel like I am having a skinny day ( or the scale says I lost weight) or I just think damn my body looks good... Shorts, sports bra fitted clothes - If I feel ok, nothing great, leggings, tank. If I feel fat, or it is TOM or I am upset loose shorts, and a tee shirt.0 -
I wear mostly Yoga pants and recently I actually started wearing shorts! Go me! But I wear Yoga pants and a tank top or spaghetti strap shirt. Or I would do Yoga pants with a short sleeve shirt or shorts with a long sleeve shirt.0

Yoga capris and a big baggy men's Tshirt.0

i used to wear a baggy tee and pants, because i didnt want anything snug due to all my chub. I have learned for me it is much more comfy to wear compression pants that arent riding up my but or rolling down like the looser pants did, and i also like a snug tank, as i do cardio kickboxing and such and even with pushups my tee shirt feels in the way.0

As much as I possibly can...lol!0

I'm in the same thing errrryday. Yoga pants + fitted yoga tank. Easy movement, and no extra fabric flapping around.
