in Fitness and Exercise
I know a lot of people who work out, then just hang out in their workout clothes for the rest of the day!? I cannot do that - I get so sweaty and am prone to female issues if I don't get into dry clothes right away!
Do you or don't you? Ladies?

    I've been known to put my workout clothes on 4 hours before I work out but once I'm done working out, they gotta come off expecially my sports bra!!!

    What she said. I also sometimes come home and shower, then put on clean workout clothes.

    Guess I'm in the minority...get home from working out and have to make dinner, walk the dogs, etc, so I usually air dry until bedtime

    I am sooooo lazy sometimes, yeah I am still wearing my workout clothes right now as we speak...3 hours post-work out. Will change soon.

    This is usually only after doing more moderate exercise--I was not sweating buckets or anything. I know it's gross but just too tired to change when I get back sometimes!

    Oh ETA: I don't think this causes any major hygiene issues!

    Nope, no way. Sometimes I change even when I get sweaty out about!
    And shower before bed!

    Though I do love wearing my workout clothes out and about. Super comfy!

    I workout after work, at or near work depending what I'm doing that day, and by the time I get home after a 20 minute drive with the windows down, I'm pretty well dry and ready to start making dinner. so I often stay in them until bedtime but wipe down with baby wipes before starting dinner. If I'm really soaked or feeling gross, I'll shower as soon as I get home.

    Ill admit - I go work out in the morning, may do some house work, possibly work out again later...
    I wake up, put on clean workout clothes..and I stay in them all day long. I bask in it. Like a badge of honor.

    I work out in the morning but I don't really sweat a lot when I exercise so when I have no other plans for the day, I could keep them on. If I'm going somewhere else, I like to lightly clean myself with a warm wet towel and change into something else. I'm the type that likes to dress nice where ever I go, even if it's to the grocery store. :)

    I have been swimming for exercise.
    The suit stays on for several hours.
    Considering 100 degrees.

    I am a clothes changer. And if I am good, I will put a towel on the car seat because I get paranoid that the car will start to smell like the gym.

    Currently I'm running workouts back to back with dance class- and even from the time it takes me to drive the 6 miles to class- I can tell I'm starting to "ferment"... then 2 hours of sweaty drippy hard work later- I try to get home and shower- STAT.

    Occasionally- I have to go to the market- and holy crap- I can't stand the smell of myself- it's awful... them john's come off as soon as I can get out of them in the doorway. I hate hanging out in dirty workout clothes!

    I go to the work-gym right after work. I'm usually drenched afterwards so I always hit the showers when I'm done. Even when I'm home, right after a workout, I run a hot tub of water for a bath. I'm too sweaty after a workout to keep my gym clothes on.

    I get dressed for running - the dog needs to go out. I come home from running - the dog needs to go out (replace needs with wants if you please).
    I may skip the shower, especially if I am doing something active later, but i always put on fresh clothes.

    Smell isn't everything :wink:

    I always come home and shower right away. I sweat way too much to even think about keeping my workout gear on. Just yuck!

    I leave them on until all my workouts for the day are done. I need to walk/ jog/ run with my dogs around lunch time, so mornings in workout clothes, afternoon freshly showered in new clothes.

    I sweat like anything so they have to come off - luckily I do most of my exercise before work (at the gym in work) so I just change and shower immediately after.

    I often have to make stops on the way home, but once I'm home, the sweats come off and I wash my nasty *kitten*.

    Nope I have to take a shower and put on fresh clothes. Then again I take multiple showers anyway. Why idk. Hot water has always felt good to me since I was a child.

    No, not after working out.
    Beforehand, though...I've been known to wear workout clothes all day in anticipation of exercise.

    Absolutely depends on what I've been doing. If it's been a gentle stretching or toning workout then I'll probably mooch about in my work-out clothes for a bit.
    Normally after weights I come home for lunch and am starving so shower/change has to wait until food has been devoured.

    If it's running/cycling/spinning then hell, the workout clothes come off and showing is a priority.

    Also, I will quite often put my workout clothes on ready if I have a fitness class scheduled within the next few hours and then change afterwards.

    Nope, the room I work out in is right next to the bathroom, and I don't even sit down before dragging my butt in for a shower (not necessarily a hair wash because I'd ruin my mane if I washed it every day). Plus, the hot water on my just worked out body is so soothing, especially during the summer because then I actually feel cold afterwards - a definite plus when summer is pretty much from May to November at least!

    I do look forward to the day when I can go to the gym and wear a sports bra and capris and not feel like a cow. One day... one day...

    Work out clothes, though, before I've worked out, yeah, I'll totally wear those all day, no problem.

    It depends on my workout. If I've just done Pilates or something not super sweaty, I'll hang around in my gym clothes for a while, unless I have someplace to go...although I have no problem dashing to the market or Target in gym clothes sans makeup.

    If I've done something more intense and sweatier, I'll want to shower and change immediately. I don't like my clothes to feel moist. Heck, I don't even like the word moist.

    I go to the gym after work nowadays, and I usually smell like whatever I have been cooking that day, add that to the "gym" smell and yeah, i have to change and take a shower when I get home.

    True story, i had just walked in and was heading for the squat rack, waiting my turn when I saw a nice looking slightly older gentleman leaning in my direction and smiling in a questioning sort of way. I smiled back and he excused himself and said, "I'm so sorry to stare..." And I got a little happy because maybe my hard work was paying off..."But, do you smell like...smoked brisket?" SO deflated! And, truth...yes, I did, because smoking 300lbs of brisket will permeate...

    Sometimes my day gets busy the second I'm done working out, so I'll stay in them for an hour or so while I get the kids ready for school etc...but I'm breastfeeding my 8 week old daughter right now, so normally I have to change and clean up - because sports bras are NOT nursing bras lol
