    Loose-fitting shorts turn you into a flasher.

    Yep, and the last thing you want to be caught wearing on the hip abductor machine is loose shorts. :laugh:

    Is that what that thing's called?

    I always referred to it as the "good-girl/bad-girl machine"

    And this is what I will call it from now forth.

    I worked hard for my body so i started wearing sports bras to the gym bc i feel confident to do so and bc if i can work out and sweat my *kitten* off in less clithes and be comfortable with it, then why not? If guys want to look at me they can, i check out guys in tight beaters with big muscles too ;)

    Honestly, nothing is BAD- If I were in my 20's had an awesome bod and was single, I'd probably care a lot more than I do now about what I look like working out. I only think it's irritating when women dress like that, with the hair and makeup, and DON'T work out really. Then i want to tell them to just go to a singles bar.

    As for me- I wear workout clothes and love when I start looking good in them- nothing too over the top- but hey- if you can get to where you look good- AWESOME!

    If it makes you feel superior to assume I'm an attention *kitten* because of my workout attire, I'm fine with it. Hell, I'll even reciprocate by assuming you have no pride in your appearance. How's that sound?

    Oh wait, I don't care how anyone else at the gym dresses. Nope, not even a little.

    haha I don't know if I'd ever wear less than yoga pants/capris and a tank top even when I reach my goal. One time This woman was doing mat exercises and I could totally see everything she owned. Ugh really come on, go ahead and wear shorts and a sports bra but if everything is falling out or about to, you should cover that up or if men look at you, don't get pissed!

    i see a few younger ladies who might prance around a bit, but most of the women at my gym are working out hard. I say to each her own in terms of attire as long as you are comfortable with yourself and you don't mind an occassional glance from the guys.

    The dudes who are creepers are probably going to give long stare-downs anyway, so hopefully there's not too many at your gym!

    By the way, my 2-cents...i think a woman in any workout attire who is working out hard, is comfortable with herself, and is athletic-minded is quite attractive. (athletic-minded does not mean being an olympic swimmer or track star, rather someone who is setting fitness goals and working to achieve them)

    Being a single early 20's girl I like to make sure my gym attire is flattering but never revealing- that tends to mean impractical to me?? Oh and I agree with some, not that it makes you slack at all but just as much as the guys might peek at the girls at the gym girls do it too!! :wink: Xx

    Way back when, when I was slim & fit I would wear a sports bra & leggings or baggy shorts at the gym, but only in the summer 'cause my old gym had nothing in the way of air conditioning and even the UK gets warm then. And no I did not want the attention, I just wanted to keep cool. There was no heating either so in the winter it was a case of many layers that I could shed as I warmed up.
    Now I'm far from fit & very out of shape I wear the baggiest t/shirt I can find & long leggings. I do get very over heated, but there's no way I'd inflict this body on the unsuspecting.:laugh:
