Do you care what you wear

2zbeach — Thu, 01 May 2014 21:17:08 GMT

To the gym? I looked at myself in the mirror today before going to the gym and thought,"Yikes!". Then I came to my senses. I see others that are perfectly coordinated. Does it matter to you what you wear to exercise? The gym is one place appearance doesn't matter to me. You?

The only thing that matters is my comfort. Plus I look good in anything.

I work out at home so the question doesn't apply, but I think as long as I was not in torn, dirty active wear, that's all that would matter.

I go to the gym to work hard and sweat - i usually wear a pair of jersey shorts and a tank top. Not exactly high fashion, and no, I don't care.

If I'm working out at home - no.

If I'm walking in the neighborhood or using a gym in a hotel - yes - at least in terms of clothes. Now I don't put on makeup or anything like that.

Yes, I do care, especially if I know I may have to stop by the bank, store, etc., after. It is not so much about high fashion but I like to look presentable.

Yes I care, I would put on some make up possibly not a full face but I don't like to look at myself without make up so I am sure others don't want to look me either!

I don't go to the gym, but I'm a runner -- and yes, I feel more motivated if I'm a little put together. When I'm home doing my weight routine, I could care less!

Yes, it does matter to me. I like to look pulled together when i work out.

Comfort- Can't stand women who go to the gym and are concerned about their appearance- SOOO vain & silly!

I work out exclusively at home. I'm big into the Beach Body programs on DVD. When I'm doing a millions jumps and burpees all I care about is that the clothes are keeping me firmly in place and nothing is riding up/out or shifting about.

I don't look ridiculous, but the workout wear is about performance over look since nobody sees me but potentially the DH.

Not sure wanting to look pulled together at the gym equates with being vain and silly.

I don't think anyone cares. I only try to look nice at the gym because I'm single. Of course, I tend to (silently) laugh at women who are too put together at the gym.

I don't go to the gym, but I walk several nights a week on a nearby trail with my neighbor. My usual outfit consists of black cropped yoga pants and a C9 V-neck T-shirt in one of the five colors I own.

I am hardly a fashionista in this type of outfit, but I don't look sloppy, either. Just basic workout wear, and that's fine with me.

Marlyn1 — Thu, 01 May 2014 22:09:38 GMT

Yes, I care that I'm presentable and neat and clean, and not sloppy looking like some women in my gym look. I'm not saying that you have to be a gym fashionista like some, but come on look decent.

I wear color coordinated gym shorts and tee shirts. I always sweat like a pig so I have no plans to stop at the grocery or run errands after working out. I go straight home and shower. I do not spend big bucks on work out clothes. I guess this makes me a slob by some standards but at least I'm comfy.

At home aloneI could care less....but if someone is going to see me I do care.

Yes and no. I don't like to look awful but I don't really care. I get hot and sweaty and parts of me bounce around because I do a pretty intense interval type workout. The cool thing is that my friends at boot camp are usually the first to comment on weight loss.

When I go to the gym my priority is the workout & I wear appropriate clothes (and bra!) for that. I don't dress to look fashionable though I don't go looking like a slob either.

I really don't notice what other people wear or look like at the gym. I go for my workout. I think most people who workout seriously at gyms (or anywhere) regularly are of the same mind.

HULAGIRL — Thu, 01 May 2014 23:06:12 GMT

Yes, I dress appropriately. I feel better when I know I look the best I can look. I don't care if anyone else notices or not, I notice and that's what matters. It doesn't take me any longer to put on something decent than it does to throw on any old thing. I don't spend a fortune on my exercise clothes, but I do make sure they're clean and somewhat coordinated. I hate seeing people in clothes that look like they haven't been washed in a month (and they probably haven't)......
