quirky workout habit

Hey Girls!! (and any guys)

I want to introduce myself.... My name is Lisa, I am 18 years old and I live in sunny Florida and am on my school tennis team. I am a HUGE Cathe aerobics fan, as I am sure many of you are. My friends and I have workout parties after school where we go over to one of our friends houses and workout to Cathe. And many times I do Cathe's tapes alone. Which brings me to my quirky workout confession. When I workout alone, and even sometimes with my friends, I work out in my underware, mainly because I sweat so heavily and by the time the warm-up is over I am melting into a puddle of sweat. My Mom walked in on me working out recently and thought that I was so wierd and strange, and even said to put some additional clothing on. I was like "Do you see me right now?" I was talking to her with my hair soaking wet, sweat dripping down my face, chest, and arms and dripping onto the floor. And besides I have more mobility when I am working out. Since we are all friends bonded together by our love for Cathe's workouts, I thought we could all be honest, and give me some reassurrance that I am not the only one who worksout like this. My friends even give me a hard time as well. Please give me some support ladies!!
 
Well, I'm sure I'm as old if not OLDER than your Mom and I work out in my underware all the time!!!!!! There is no rule anywhere that dictates what you should wear at home.

Does this fall under the "get a life" category for all those who object?
 
First I think it is great that you take the time to workout by yourself and with your friends. I can think of worse things that kids your age do after school. I think that when you workout alone it is your decision as to what to wear (or not wear). But are your friends comfortable with your attire when they are working out with you? There are a lot of workout cloths out there that suck up the sweat (so to speak). Keep exercising and stay fit. Amy Jo
 
Hey Lisa!!
I personally think you're a weirdo for working out in your underwear. Try working out naked like me, it saves on laundry! I used to wear a thong but figured, hell, I may as well go all the way! :)
I'm kidding of course. :) I say wear whatever you are comfortable wearing. If you sweat as much as I do then you are really doing some sweating. I also leave puddles behind, especially when doing a spin class.
Take care and keep working out hard!

Hi, Lisa! As long as your jiggly private parts are well-supported, working out in your undies is fine IMHO!

Keep it up!

(P.S. Trevor really only wears a loincloth. Truly.)
 
Lisa,
This is exactly why I like to work out at home. You can wear whatever you want and no one should know or care. I used to wear an old sports bikini when it was really hot. It finally wore out.

By, the way, Trevor, after the CTX cardio, I DO take off my sports bra for the weight lifting just because I can and it's all sweaty and gross...so I'm half naked. It's kinda weird, yet who cares? I'm at home in my basement! Only my dog gets to see this stuff.

I do think at least a good sports bra is order for all the high impact segments. Believe me, when you're 40, you'll thank me, even if you don't have much.

Stay cool and don't worry about what Mom says. If she did the video with you, she may strip down to her undies as well.

Amy,
You wild woman! How the heck do you lift topless?!! Man, the stuff that comes out on this site! lol!
I'm boring as hell compared to you wild ladies!
Trevor :)
 
Naked huh Trev? I would think plyo jacks and airborn jumps might be a bit of a challenge. Just kidding. Lately I've been wearing dryfit everything! I am so sweaty by the time I get to the abs or cooldown portion of a workout, even my socks need wringing out!
 
Oh my gosh!

You guys are all soooo funny!! I am sitting here laughing OUTLOUD like an idiot and it is 11:45 P.M. I thought I'd read a few threads to calm down before jumping in bed but you all have me sooo wound up now. Another "Good-Laugh" Day!!

I top the boring category in this group, I'm sure. I may work out in my skivies (how the heck do you spell that?!), but the high point of my day is getting the mail!! How's that for boring?! I truly love junk mail. I also watch infomercials.
 
RE: Oh my gosh!

Notice Deb didn't mention any of HER workout quirks!! :)

Hey Jilly!
Yeah I always "slap" myself silly doing naked plyojacks and airborns! Kidding! :)
I am like you...I usually am one of only a few who leaves the equipment in the gym and the surrounding area completely drenched after a workout. Kinda embarrassing. One woman in my spin class, who I have become friends with, said it was icky! I think she is always afraid I am gonna get sweat on her! lol! I usually squirt her down with the water bottle just to piss her off! :)
Trevor :-jumpy
 
Okay, Trevor!

My story is BORING, but here goes! I guess you'd call me modest as I ALWAYS workout in a tee or tank and shorts. Mind you, they are the oldest outfits I own as I don't want to use my NICE outfits and ruin them at home. (Save the nice outfits for my classes)Confession time~I decided one day that I would just workout in my shorts and jogbra only since no one is even around but me when I work out at home. I guess I should mention that thejogbra was white and fairly thin. Soo, long story short, I finished my workout and was ready to come upstairs to shower, looking like a dog with sweat from head-to-toe. As I am mounting the steps I hear voices! :-wow My hubby had brought some customers home and was right where I would have to pass thru to get to the shower. Let's just put it this way, I was STUCK in my basement for a very looong time waiting them out! Told you it was BORING! :7

Debbie you must keep your basement very cool to keep that tee on the whole time!

Lisa...you love Cathe's aerobic workouts...have you tried her strength training?

You all are too funny :)

Trevor,
I'm just an exhibitionist at heart. I actually have such a nice chest and body that I get requests from even girls to see it. Working out naked is no big deal. So, there's my confession.

I'm the girl that when at the beach, the clubs ask me to be in their wet t-shirt contests. I always say "no", of course. But, I have been known to compare in the bathroom with other girls!
Amy
 
I think the temperature just went up about 100 degrees here where I am sitting!! lol!
Trevor ;-)
 
RE: Okay, Trevor!

I knew Deb would have a story associated with this topic! :)
That'll keep the customers coming back huh! Kidding.....:)
You need to get your hubby to put a shower in the basement near your workout area Debbie. :)
