I can't say at this point I've seen someone who NEVER has their phone on them.TresaAswegan wrote: »We have a cubby hole/countertop thing around the gym perimeter which is where most of us put our stuff, so the phone is probably pretty close to the owner.
I've rarely seen a person in the gym who doesn't at least look at their phone at some point though. I don't think people would survive leaving in a locker.
Nope- lies- 3 guys. But they are old as methusala and they all work out in ripped denim jeans and construction boots- so that's a clue right there- (also none of them have smart phones if I was a betting woman) so yeah- it's a rare breed that doesn't even HAVE their phone on them. Most people do.

I go full face to the gym. Yep- blown out massive eye shadow and crazy lipstick.
Hasn't stopped me from lifting well yet.

you can see skin- and or thongs/underwears. I mean- I usually lift in t back or go commando. But they stretch and you can see the skin- depends on how comfortable you are with yourself on if that will bother you or not.
something like this happens

Working out?
Some dudes just don't understand women who go out looking nice usually aren't doing it for male attention, they just want to look good.Rebecca0224 wrote: »Sweet_Heresy wrote: »I wear basketball shorts.
Dunno, leggings just make me feel self conscious and naked. Lol.
I thought I was the only person who felt naked in leggings, I can't wear them.
I have a pair that aren't see through- but thing- and light- and they 100% are like having no pants on.
it's like the best feeling EVER.
#nopantsdance
As a male and I feel very awkward making a post about this but I have to agree on the best feeling ever. Bought some compression pants (sounds more manly if I don't call them leggings) was blown away at how comfortable they were. Had that "it all makes sense now moment." Also when I do squats makes my knee wraps not feel as uncomfortable compared to bare skin(old man knee's).
What's not to love- like you get home- most women strip their bra off- I'm like a dude- no pants- immediately. I love the feeling of no pants.
pants = Leg prisons.
Not a fan. it's one of the reasons my leggings collection is so effing extensive!
OMG, I have never seen that before! Never noticed this at any of the, admittedly only 2 gyms I've gone to.
I'm not big into workout clothes, I mean brand names and such, I bought my first 2 pairs at Macy's, a brand called ideology, they're made of polyester and spandex. My workouts are probably not as intense as most of yours, but so far they feel great.0 -

Yeah that's why i never wear them to the gym. I don't mind feeling naked at home haha. I also wondered where people keep their phone when they wear leggings. All my workout pants have pockets.
in my gym bag?
or just leave it in the locker.
Everyone at my gym carries around a bag though- backpack or duffle.
I have an IG video I took for funsies one day when we were all there- looks like we effing moved in to the gym- everyone set their bag in the same space- it was a lot of stuff.
People that leave their phone in the locker clearly don't need music when they work out huh!? I've seen girls put their phone in the waistband of their leggings and I can only imagine how sweaty the phone would get if i were to do that!
Phones for music is a fairly recent invention- before phones- there were mp3 devices
some people still use them.
I use an ipod classic and shove it in my bra- I can't imagine shoving my phone in my bra though. way to big.
But I know a lot of guys/girls at my gym who use Bluetooth- so the phone stays in their bag and they walk around w/o it.
Yeah, phones are too big and bulky to mess with during a workout, IMO. What a pain in the butt to have to carry that extra crap around. I still use a tiny little ipod for music.0 -
I have an ipod too. The first gen were recalled so I sent it in (it was dead anyway) and got a brand new gen 2. The little square one that you can clip to your shirt. I've been using it for years.
Happily for me, leggings wise, I live near an outlet mall. Reebok and Nike are there.0 -

I'm so old school. Phones annoy me. It amuses me how people are so addicted to them. I only have one because occasionally I need to communicate for work. (I might need it for an emergency some day I guess maybe.) If I need to look something up I just use my laptop or wait until later if I'm out and about. I hate having to lug that thing around, I'm not emotionally attached to it at all, and it's annoying when people call me. I preferred the good old days when I was independent and free. I don't actually want people to be able to access my private time 24/7. In fact, I routinely leave it at home or at least behind in the car when I go places. Actually, I do find it most convenient as an alarm clock. So I guess they are good for something.

Some of these may be wearing a BT hrm and using an app to track heart rate and calorie expenditure. Thus they stop and check their heart rate.0

I'd happily leave my phone at home when I go to the gym, but my gym does not have clocks on the wall - so I need my phone to time my rests. And I'd write my programming on paper, but I have a handy app that tracks my weights since I need my phone for a timer anyway. And the music stinks at the gym, so while I have to have my phone on me as a timer and tracker, I get to listen to my own music while I'm there.
As for leggings, I buy dance wear pants that tend to be a bit more heavy duty. And Forever 21 actually has decent activewear and I love their shorts...not see through at all.

Never even thought about it till I read this. Most people in my gym are checking themselves out in the mirrors anyway, not my butt.0

loose pants?
my *kitten* eats them- if I squat -they wind up in my *kitten*- there is absolutely no way loose pants are better than leggings on that front.
and grannie panties- always just slide in - and I wind up with a wedgie the size of texas. #teambigolebootyproblems1 -

I can't imagine being comfortable wearing those.0 -
I thought you were supposed to have a wedgie when you wear leggings. It's just part of the experience. So I just tune it out. What I don't like is when loose clothing gives me a wedgie. That feels awkward to me.0
