Exercise Clothes!

I think many people forget while excercising that they need to wear the right clothes especially the undergarments, the right shows, the right excercising gears. And it may make the excercise less productive and/or damage parts of your body.

So do you guys makes sure you wear the right shoes/clothes while excercising?.

Re: Exercise Clothes!

excellent thread maham!!! yes, i do make sure i wear running shoes.. (even in a non-cardio day)..and i do make sure i wear undergarments... i always workout with my shorts..and vast ..and i take a lil bag with me when goin to gym which contains deodorant,powder, towel, perfume...and i use them after workout. And during workout i finish 1.5litre of water bottle that i take with me.. I also take workout gloves with me since i dont like touching the machines with sweat of people... (although thats very rare, since people clean machine after they use it..but i still prefer using gloves, not just cuz of that but it gives me this extra grip)..

:hmmm:I think I do.

Re: Exercise Clothes!

great thread maham. :k:

Wearing proper shoes are indeed crucial. If you dont wear the right shoes you can mess up your feet which in turn can lead to bad knees and back.

For women wearing a sports bra while working out is a must because it helps minimize the movement of the breasts while exercising or playing sports. There are ligaments in the breasts that do not provide strong structural support which is why there is so much movement while working out. By not wearing one you can cause damage to those ligaments which can lead to an early onset of sagging. So ladies…plz invest in a good sports bra…one that fits well.

no man, I am usually barefoot in a shalwar and banyan while working my stationary bike.

i have a special ashtray installed on the handle bar, and a cupholder to hold my budwesier.

Re: Exercise Clothes!

one of the main reason why i dont like going to the gym..
I can't wear what the rest of the people are wearing and i just feel out of place..and get too many stares.
i would like to know as well what some of my fellow muslim sisters wear to the gym??

yeah me too, shalwar banyan is not accepted here, although thats what I used to wear in the akhara in my pind when i used to go there for kasrat..ppl also give me strange looks when I put oil on my pathay. goray..

Re: Exercise Clothes!

^ how can u put oil on ur pathay when ur wearing shalwar?

do u wear a burQa to the gym? i duno abt where u live but ppl wear everything and whatever they want to the gym (within reason) a few girls who wear hijab, they just wear plain sweats and loose tees. no big deal.

I dunno.... that's usuallyt the only thing ppl get right in the gym, is what they're wearing lolz...

dirty mind :nono:
banyan bibi..banyan
oil on my biceps and triceps etc

Re: Exercise Clothes!

i thot pathay meant thighs?

where do u live aana? do you wear hijab?
in the USA there is a gym called "lady of america" it's a small gym but a lot of my hijabi friends go there.

I have seen some hijabi's at my gym...they seem comfortable enough to be there.

I wear just a t-shirt and some workout pants (usually yoga/pilates pants).

I love workout gear and I feel that the way I'm dressed at the gym has a direct link to my motivational level of performance. I always wear the right gear and make sure that I keep buying new stuff that's flattering, stylish and motivational. And it works wonders!

this is Health & Fitness not GupShup Cafe´:D

I agree :biggthumb
