Thread: Workout Gear

To anyone who has a prefference, What clothing do you workout in?

Here's my situation: I used to go to the gym 2-3x a week but then stopped for a few months. Well about 2 months ago I started up again, but this time I found out that at work there is a free gym downstairs. It's smaller, but it's also almost always empty and has about 8 machines plus some freeweights, locker room, and shower, so it's pretty much enough to get things done. Anyhow, I've started working out every workday for about an hour a day on my lunchbreak. 5x a week is the most I've ever worked out since my Army days. My normal clothes were just a cotton shirt and basketball short, and they were getting so stinky, so I switched to underarmor.

Now I LOVE Underarmor, and I always have, but they are wicked expensive, and the 2 Underarmor shirts I have are compression, so they are kinda tight. Now I have lost some weight, (just over 15 pounds since Halloween), but I still have some belly, so looking for some opinions on what people like to wear. I just a columbia longsleeve and a Nike Pro Combat longsleeve to try out next week.

Also, I have been using the same clothes all week, just letting them air-dry in my car. By friday they tend to get kinda nasty. The underarmor handles the funk way better than cotton though, but that is a factor.

The material of the UA is actually pretty amazing on the "airing out" afterwards. But yea, I would prolly just get a second set of some generic's and swap out on Wed. or Thurs.

I workout 6 days a week. I have more than 6 pairs of shorts/shirts. I do laundry once a week.

Doesn't seem hard.

You wear a separate outfit every workout? Why?

I assume because some people don't want to wear stinky sweat-soaked clothes.

my clothes aren't stinky or sweat soaked after a single workout. (If they were cotton then maybe they would be)

Just give your under armor things a quick wash/rinse in the sink. Wring it out. Then wrap in a towel and wring out again to get the rest of the excess water. Hang them up and should be dry by the next day, except probably the soggy towel.

Shorts and a nutrishop shirt bc i have like 23953592783295 of those things. If its cold switch out shorts for sweatpants.

Easy enough
