MarxistPanda Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 So, what do we like to work out in? I spent a few years in ROTC so I'm more comfortable getting sweaty in sweatpants and a sweatshirt or BDUs and jungle boots. How about the rest of you.

FalseAesop Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Synthetics. Cotton just absorbs sweat and stays wet. So when I go running I wear an Under Armor shirt and pair of athletic shorts. I also bought a few pair of ExOfficio boxer briefs that are synthetic stay dry. They are wonderful to wear under workout gear, or just in general.

swarneke Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Since I'm just getting started with a regular fitness routine, I keep it pretty basic with a pair of men's athletic shorts because I hate the way women's ones fit right now and a basic t-shirt. Eventually I'll upgrade to some sweat-wicking gear. Even when I'm strength training, I wear my running shoes and insoles because my feet and ankles will hate me if I don't Quote Level 2 Halfling AdventurerSTR:2 | DEX: 2 | STA: 2 |CON: 4 | WIS:7.5 | CHA:2.5 || Female | 5'3" | 180lbs | Southpaw |Strive for progress, not perfection. - UnknownBattle Log | Personal Blog | Current Challenge Link to comment
Rhyme Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I just wear high school gym shorts and a ratty old t-shirt. I feel kinda self-conscious going outside to run in that getup, but oh well -- I'm fine with the material, and the workout's getting done no matter what I wear. Running shoes, on the other hand, I should probably start looking into...

keliswicked Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I always wear comfortable running shorts and an athletic top. I buy all my athletic tops from Target or Walmart or the like - since you go through them so fast, I like getting them cheap. Plus they're super comfy and keep the sweat at bay (or at least off my shirt!). Quote Keliswicked, level 6 half Hobbit/ half Dwarf Druid Progress Log || Fitocracy! || 2 3 4 5 6 Link to comment

Vian Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I wear yoga pants, a sports bra, and a wife beater-style ribbed tank top. I get really hot, but I don't sweat a whole lot (I sweat, but not shirt-soaking sweat) so cotton doesn't bother me.

MissyMo87 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I wear men's basketball shorts, sports bra, a tank if i'm home or a tshirt if I'm not. Shoes for me are usually optional I like to be barefoot a lot. Quote Jigglypuff Adventurer STR: 3.25 DEX: 3 STA: 3.5 CON: 3.75 WIS: 6 CHA: 4 Previous Challenges: 1, 2 Link to comment
KingZora Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 A speedo, and I'm not kidding about that... All the clothing a guy ever needs to go swimming. Then on lifting days it's Champion running shorts and loose fitting tank top. Then just the shorts to go for a run. As little clothing as possible = most comfortable workout ever.

girljen Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Basketball shorts and a t-shirt. I'm still trying to find a good sports bra. It's not cute, not by any means, but I'm okay with that.

Morrigainz Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Booty shorts! Or longer spandex shorts with running shorts on top. Sports bra, and (usually) racerbank tank. I have quite a few cotton ones which kind of sucks but at least I'm not in them for ages. I do have a couple of other kinds of tanks/shirts I wear, including synthetics. Quote Level ?

cline Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 (it's not a thread without Mir, I-Jo and cline...) booty shorts always unless I'm outside and it's below 50. tightest tank ideally in bamboo blend. I hate cotton for workout and would rather chalk my entire body than wear it for squatting (although I have). I hate most synthetic tops now. I just love the bamboo. I've been wearing a lululemon tank thing to lift and that's kind of nice. Am debating another one. Quote I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.

direrael Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I would love to get some Under Armour sometime. That said, I'm reminded of the time my brother prank-called some of the athletes at his school, pretending to be a representative from UA. He told them he was conducting a survey of customers, and if they answered all his questions they would get free gear. They were so foaming at the mouth in anticipation that it took them awhile to relaize it was a joke. Mean, but funny. Quote Current challenge - fighting the Bane of a broken back Link to comment

JonDixonYT Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I wear a tshirt and some athletic shorts (I have UA ones, they stretch just a bit which is really useful for me) - by the end of 3 sets of the BBWW the shirt is soaked though. If I'm riding my bicycle (full word for Jo's benefit) then its biking shorts and a tshirt. I've been thinking about getting some UA shirts, but they are just so damn expensive and I'll be pissed if they suck and I wasted my money and I'll also be pissed if they are awesome and I have to buy a bunch more.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Athletic shorts, that's it, and only because I'm worried about wifey popping in and ninja punching the garage door open button before locking me out. I'd probably get rid of those some days if not. Working out at home has it's benefits. I would not actually get rid of the athletic shorts. For squats I throw a t-shirt on but now that it's summer and we're getting 80 degree days, I'll soak through that in 15 minutes out in the garage with a good squat session, then ditch it for the rest of the workout. I workout barefoot as long as it's not freezing. In the winter I add sweatpants, a permananet t-shirt that I keep on the whole time, a sweatshirt, and wool socks. Depending on how much the garage warms up with me in there, the sweats will work their way off.

Anivair Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I'm pretty easygoing, but usually it's sweat shorts and a t shirt. If it's cold, sweats and a t shirt. I almost never train in long sleeves if I can help it. If I'm outdoors in the cold maybe. And a cap to keep the ears warm.
