    If it doesn't break the rules of your gym (so you're not banned) do whatever makes you comfortable. However, doing this, and then complaining about the guys looking at you should get you slapped. =]

    This!!!

    We've created some sort of whirlygig of time/space. All these really old threads are popping up :huh:

    Except it was OP who resurrected it...and as if seven months had not passed.

    Mind. Blown.

    No, it was not the OP.....I checked...maybe the problem is I feel a need to post on EVERY thread, so they all come back around eventually.

    The only problem I see with it is if your gym has dress code rules. At my gym you gotta wear shirts, but not sure how sports bras fit into that....would be something worth looking into.

    1. Make sure your gym allows it.
    2. Make sure it fits right and provides support.
    3. Be prepared to be stared at by both men and women.

    Never saw anyone at my gym do it. But I really don't care what you wear.

    If you wear just a sports bra, please triple-wipe any gym equipment that requires sitting.
    Don't know about others, but I generally don't sit with the part of my body requiring a sports bra.

    SLUT.

    Just kidding. I don't care. But I will give you evil looks out of body envy and your confidence level.

    I really want to but I'm probably not going to. I had many people over my life tell me to cover my tummy because I'm just asking for men to be tempted. Not that I ever cared what they said, but something stuck. And I don't know if I could handle someone working there telling me that I can't.

    But if I'm at home and my dad is not here, then certainly I will. It's so much more fun because over time i can feel my stomach getting tighter better.
    This poster revived this thread long dead.

    How fast will you be running? Remember to warm up with jumping jacks.

    OK, so it is an old thread, but here goes...

    While I do have some impressive man-boobs, I really don't think the whole sports bra thing is for me. But to each his (or in this case, her) own...

    Depends if you want to get perved at or not? let's not lie, that's what will happen. You run in just a sports bra and your over a B cup people will stare at your ta-ta's. You know it, we know it, if your boobieez are a bouncing the men will be staring!!

    I think you are underestimating the bust cup threshold for staring. I think its at B and above.

    If you had to ask...you probably shouldn't. And...bras are undergarments. Even though it is a SPORTS bra...still a bra meant to be worn under something.

    Here's my honest opinion on the matter. Some people may not like this.....but I don't think it is appropriate to do if you are over, say, 25% body fat. I say this because the gelatin like jiggle of too much fat as someone is running with no shirt is quite repulsive to me. I would never have subjected anyone to that when I was over 25% fat (I used to be 34.5% fat). I woul dleave that gym if I saw it.

    depends upon where you live and the customs. if you're in arizona or parts of cali, probably no biggie. If you're in the middle of guy-ville usa, just sweat and suck it up.

    Check your gym's dress code or they might kick you out for being under dressed.

    When I used to go to the gym I saw girls do it all the while and I never thought anything negative about it. Especially if they looked nice, its the ones that have the belly roles rolling all over the place that makes me give a second look.

    I believe if you are going to show your tummy it shouldn't be falling over the waist of the shorts or pants, that is just me

    Seems fine to me, as long as you don't mind being looked at, because in general, people are going to look. My rule of thumb is this, if you don't want people staring at it, cover it, if you don't care, bare it.

    If you had to ask...you probably shouldn't. And...bras are undergarments. Even though it is a SPORTS bra...still a bra meant to be worn under something.

    The vast majority of sports bras cover more than the majority of bikini tops.

    Ok...I'll just be clear(er). SPORTS BRA ARE NOT MEANT TO BE WORN BY THEMSELVES. PERIOD.

    If you're comfortable in it, and you think it would improve your workout then why not!? I agree with other people, as long as you're wearing appropriate bottoms then I think you're good to go. Good for you for having that confidence!
