I thought I would point out some of the styles I notice at the gym. There are SO many! You have the basic t-shirt and shorts. Then you have the sports bra and tight bicycle shorts (definitely not my thing, nor is it my favorite thing to see in the gym. I mean, some people {like myself} just don't belong in that kind of attire, and those that are built for it, is it really necessary? I mean, really?). You also have those who are totally dedicated...the running shorts with bicycle shorts underneath, with the tight sleeveless workout shirt, gloves, and belt. Now that's dedication. There are many others, but I have to say that my favorite style is often worn by elderly women. I saw one today, in fact. She was working out on the machines while wearing her nice khaki pants, pretty button up shirt, long necklaces, earrings, and slip on shoes. She looked quite lovely, but I don't know if I would classify her attire as workout clothing. Yet she didn't let it stop her. She was hitting the weights and looking quite fashionable. :)
So I wonder, one day when I'm 75, will I be in the gym wearing my black pants and sweater? Of course, I'll have to make sure I have the right accessories! Who knows? Hey, I guess the most important thing is that I'm in the gym. You know what?! Maybe I'll make my bicycle shorts debut when I hit 70. Man! I'm sure everyone will LOVE it!

We have a lot of seniors at our gym and they wear kakis, jeans, just whatever they felt like wearing. It's so funny b/c I feel like I have to have gym clothes- and I'm definitely a t-shirt-capri sweat pants kind of gal. I still wear our old AGD t-shirts. I certainly hope you are still working out at 75- and the bicycle shorts will keep you sassy.
This is too funny. We have some dress pants wearers at our gym too. I love it! I can't say anything because it appears they workout more than I do. We also have some men wearing dress socks with shorts. GQ!
aaaaaaah!! LOL!! you are cracking me up!! ok but foreal..those elderly women are putting me to shame at the gym...especially in weights and pilates!!! what in the world.. I like seriously..work out on the opposite side of the room away from them...they all remind me of the 80 year old looking woman on the Taebo video..wow! I am like you..want to be like them when I hit that age as well..how can I be down! lol
great post!!
where do you live?? I keep looking at your profile pic thinking " I have seen her somewhere..and I am not thinking blogger" :)
that is funny...they must be at every gym. they always make me laugh with their matchy matchy button-ups and pastel colored dress pants. it's true, they do REALLY work out hardcore...they are usually using more weights than me on the machines...what??? so, i just try to NOT be on the machine next to them...it can be a little embarrassing.
