Sports Bra at the Gym

So, today I was having a particularly good ab day. And since it's 113 out today and my gym has a crappy air conditioning system, I seriously thought about going in just my sports bra.
But for some reason I don't feel comfortable doing that. Am I just self conscious? Would nobody care?
Or would I look like an attention *kitten*? I know "who cares what other people think?" well apparently I do, so :p. I sincerely want to know the general opinion, what do you think of girls bearing their bellies at the gym?

    If I looked decent in one and felt comfortable I would do it too. No biggie. I wouldn't consider that being an attention *kitten* (:

    On the elliptical I felt like ripping my shirt off it was so hot and sticky! I think I found my next challenge.

    Do it. Girls wear skimpy shorts, sports bras, tight fitted leggings etc etc all the time in gyms. Personally, I don't care because I'm there for me.

    Oh, you should definitely do it! I know I would if I looked as good as you do. :blushing:

    Men are so lucky! They can run around shirtless in the hot weather and no one even bats an eye...

    Haha yes that's true. But spare a thought for us at work. While you can go to work in a vest to and a skirt and sandals, I wear long trousers, socks, brogues, a long sleeve shirt, a tie, and a jacket. Aren't we lucky!!

    Um, what gym do you go to? This is strictly for research purposes... definitely has nothing to do with me wanting to stalk you and ogle your abs.

    It would be a crime if you didn't go shirtless. Or pantsless.

    My apologies, this isn't chit chat. Yes, sports bra only is acceptable.

    I guess people WILL perceive it as attention whoring.

    I think 90% I see in sports bra are attention *kitten*, but I never actually went up and talked to them, so it's just first impressions.

    It really depends on how you carry yourself in it...you'll either be labelled as a show-off, attention *kitten*,etc or you're just another pretty fit girl at the gym.

    Thank you all. You have given me another perspective. I just need to stop holding myself back from being comfortable in this heat. Who cares if people stare. They stare when I'm squatting too. Doesn't mean I'm going to stop.

    I'm like you and would feel too uncomfortable to go in just my sports bra. I wish I had the guts to do it!!! So if you can work up the courage, I say go for it. Especially since it's so hot out. And you're in great shape, so it's not like you'll look bad. Do what feels right for you.
