What do you wear?

What do you wear when you exercise? Are you comfortable wearing shorts and bra (ladies)? Or do you wear a t-shirt? shirt of any kind over bra?

I sweat so much now during workouts that shirts are bothering me. I have never worked out without one and just taking a census of what others may find comfortable.

    Im very safe when it comes to the gym. What i mean by that is I wear a short sleeved v-neck shirt. Usually blue or black and I have blue or black sweatpant/athletic pant bottoms.

    I still have the unsightly rolls in the midsection and as I dont like looking at them, Im sure the rest of the gym doesnt want to see them either. :laugh:

    When out walking this summer it was my normal bra (don't have a sports bra), 3/4 length T-shirt, capris, walking shoes. Obviously now that it's getting colder that will change to long sleeve T and pants. At home, on the pilates machine, it's yoga or sweat pants and a T-shirt, sometimes PJs. Even at home with my husband, I won't show off the bat wing upper arms or the stomach rolls. :laugh:

    Shorts and a sleeveless shirt or tank top - sleeves annoy me when I'm working out.

    Used to be t-shirt and shorts but I bought my first sports bra about a month ago and I don't know how I went so long without one! Now I wear it and soffee shorts or just some pj bottoms.

    I need to invest in a good pair of workout shorts though, anyone have any suggestions?

    I walk in my street clothes; jeans, tank top, bra and panties, and various shirts over that depending on season. That way I can hide the ankle braces under the hem of my jeans.

    I do yoga in my bra and panties and ankle braces at home.

    Leggings, sports bra, and a dry-weave shirt. Tshirt material is horrible to exercise in. Get some dry-weave shirts - they have them at Old Navy and Target for cheap!

    Capri pants and a long length racer back vest top. I like to cover up, but I cannot work in restrictive clothes.

    I wear jeans, a push-up bra, and a tanktop, no joke. The reason is because that's what I wear to work, generally speaking, and I go straight from work to the gym.

    Depends on what I'm doing, where I'm doing it, etc. Running, usually some compression tights or those Nike running shorts with the built in underwear, a sports bra, and some kind of moisture wicking tank top. Lifting weights, fitted t-shirt or tank, and shorts. Yoga, either tight yoga pants or yoga shorts, and sports bra and some kind of soft tank top (not necessarily a fancy running one). If it's outside, and it's hot out, shorts/tank top, cooler weather longer tights and possibly a long sleeved dry fit top.

    I long for the day I can run or do yoga without a shirt on. My abs aren't exactly on point yet and nobody needs to see all of that in action just yet lol

    Yoga pants & a sweat wick top. I got mine really cheap in the clearance section on the Kohls website.

    My goal is to be one of those girls who can work out in a sports bra only. ;)

    But for now, I usually wear a tank over it. I have moved to buying work out specific clothes and I find that the moisture wicking clothes, like the Nike Dri-fit stuff, really does work better to take the sweat away and help me not feel so gross during a work out. I rarely will wear a plain cotton t or tank because they get so weighted down!

    At home in my basement I wear sports bra and shorts. In public I add a wicking tank or shirt. I never, ever wear a cotton t-shirt to work out in. It holds in all of the sweat. I couldn't tell from your post what kind of shirt you are wearing, but I would suggest investing in a couple of wicking/ dry fit shirts if sweat is an issue for you.

    I love Nike tempo running shorts. I wear them for just about everything. I have a couple pairs of compression shorts but I find they ride up if I do any work on the bike or stair climber.

    Invest in a quick dry shirt. I wear a sports bra and quick dry shirt or t-shirt if they aren't clean (happens lol). My daughter is comfortable working out in her bra at home but I can't get myself to even do it there. Lol! I'm too self-conscious.

    Depends on what I'm doing and where I'm doing it. Lifting at home, I usually don't bother changing into workout clothes. If I haven't showered yet, I'll wear whatever I slept in. For running outside, I'll wear either a tank, tee or wicking shirt, and some kind of jogging shorts. If it's below 45F, I'll wear a light track jacket and maybe gloves, possibly capris instead of shorts. If it's below 30, I'll wear long pants, a hat that covers my ears, and a long sleeved shirt under the track jacket.

    I work out in gym shorts, a sports bra, and one of my dads old black tshirts (hes a big dude and I'm big so it works for now). I never minded the cotton or the sweating even though I drench through them. I'd rather be covered up and I'm not uncomfortable as long as I have a good sports bra on underneath.

    When riding I wear Pearl iZUMi Men's Quest Cycling Short, a Pearl Izumi Men's Quest Sleeveless Jerseyand a Halo II headband.

    When working out at home I wear prAna Men's JD Short, Pearl Izumi Men's Infinity Intercool Sleeveless Shirt and the Halo II.

    I know this was probably directed toward the ladies but there's my 2 cents anyway. :)

    I wear a really big tee shirt a sports bra and shorts or sweat pants. I am still too big to feel comfortable wearing anything showing.

    when I'm working out in the house, I wear what I have on in my avatar pic. When I go to the gym, I at least put a form-fitting tshirt over the sports bra, and sometime yoga pants instead of shorts.

    I've been working out at home lately so I just wear shorts or yoga pants and a sports bra. At the gym I add a dry weave tank.

    Shorts, sports bra, and a wife beater. If it's hot and not many people are around, I workout in just my sports bra. I use to do male basketball shorts but I notice I can move more freely in the short female ones. Of course sweats when im outside in the winter.

    I usually rock yoga pants or crops, a sports bra (neon preferred!), and a baggier v-neck t-shirt. If it's summer, I like to do a shortie shorts/tank top/zip-up combo. At home, I just wear whatever!

    My gym has a mandatory shirt rule, so always a cotton tank top over a sports bra, and then either athletic shorts or yoga pants depending on the class.
