Following on from this thread: I want to get fit! I was wondering what type of clothes would make me feel least like an idiot whilst doing exercise. What do you guys wear?
I own a sports bra (if it still fits) and a sports style bikini but other than that not a lot that is suitable. I have some shoes that resemble trainers but they were cheap and not from a sports shop so I don't think it would be a good idea to exercise in them!
I have a thesite t-shirt which is like the least fitted top I own so I could wear that.
What should I wear on my legs? What is practical but not too ugly looking?
Cheers guys :thumb:

I wear swishy pants (I've got no other name for them, but they make swishy noises when you walk) I've not seen anybody else in those kinds of pants for a couple years but I'm too cheap to buy new ones. And I sport my baggy drew carey shirt alot too :cool:
I see alot of those fitted sweat pants looking things. I'm sure those are dead cheap.
make sure your sneakers have good arch support. You can buy inserts too. I find that the most important thing as when mine don't I get bad shin splints very easliy.
Sports bra is a must. Even if you make walls jelous (I don't know, I've never seen your boobies ) working out w/o a sports bra is bad news.
I really should buy a sports bra though...
i don't really work out - i go to a random beginners dance class cause i am ill and unfit, but the principle is the same
yeh invest in some trainers, i got sore shins from not wearing the correct footwear.
