What to wear to the gym?

I always like to wear my mankini..... is very nice

i like to wear thick cotton leggings, like the ones from old navy, with a sports bra and a longer, loose shirt. its super comfortable and easy to move around in, and you can tuck your shirt into the leggings if necessary

i like comfy clothes... loose tees, layered tanks and and some yoga pants or those dry fit pants that nike makes. I also know that OldNavy sells a dry wick line of active wear... i just bought a pair of compression kapris there that are kinda nice. Girl just wear what your comfortable in...

KEEP IT COMFY AND LESS, GETS HOT. I GO TO WALMART THEY HAVE CHEAP OUTFITS SOMETIMES ON CLEARANCE

Honestly, I didn't have anything when I went to the gym. I wore a walmart sprots bra, which I love even though it was cheap, it works great! I have a pair of yoga pants and some old tee shirts that I wear that work just fine. Cotten is hotter than some of the other outfits out there, but I am on a buget, and I have tee-shirts already. I used to worry what other people thought about my mismatched outfits, now I am way too sweaty, tired, and sore to care what anyone thinks.

Hmm, not much to add, but perhaps you can learn from my mistake:

I run, and am not particularly skinny or large, sort of medium. I bought "yoga pants" (they've got a picture of "om" in sanskrit on them, I know they're yoga pants) and wear them running all the time, since they're basically like running tights only thicker... And they have no draw string. This is key. Even if it fits like a glove and squeezes everything into (or out of) place, without that draw string, for some reason, they fall down. I thought it was just me and my freakish body or freakish pants, but when I muttered something at a race shortly after, about seven women nearby who'd heard, and I had never seen before in my life, all chimed in to let me know that it's not me, it's not the pants, it's just reality.

So 2 bits of advice:

1) Drawstrings. No matter the fit of the pants or the size of the thighs, drawstrings are your friend. I won't touch anything without them anymore.
2) Whatever you buy, do a trial run of what you plan on doing at home (in private). You do not want to find out that the back will split, or the pants will fall down, or ride up, or twist all weird looking from the cute guy at the gym who's been eyeing you... to find out he's just been trying to figure out how politely to tell you that your clothing is publicly rebelling. Trial run, preferably with access to mirrors or a trusted friend. Again - it's not got anything to do with you, it's the reality of moving in clothing that everybody faces.

Other than that, wear what's affordable and comfortable and makes you happy. I regularly attended martial arts classes in sponge bob square pants pajamas. They fit my mood and movement needs perfectly, and the other students loved them.

I have recently been switching up to actual moisture wicking workout tops (mostly Target, Gap and Old NAvy) with either capris, yoga pants or workout leggings. Mostly moisture wicking.

Once in a while I'l use a basic ribbed tank from Target/Old Navy. But I like the wicking ones.

When I have a laundry problem, then it is the cotton yoga pants and tradeshow t-shirts.

I wear Capri workout pants and an oversized tshirt. Comfy and not fashionable at all. Perfect

Yes, I agree! :flowerforyou:
