And... really silly, may-seem-obvious question.... What do you wear?!

Do you put on all the same gear that you'd wear if you were going out to a class? Or just sports bra under your pj's type of thing? Do you wear trainers?

MayhapMayhem · 01/05/2020 12:18

iPad or iPhone propped up somewhere or I stream to the tv (if no one is around)

lazylinguist · 01/05/2020 12:21

Tv. I can access YouTube via the Playstation or via my freesat box. I wear the same as I'd wear to a real class.

Greenteandchives · 01/05/2020 12:26

I use my iPad on the breakfast bar and do the class in the small area of the kitchen diner used for dining. I have to take all the furniture away.
I put on all the gear and use my newly purchased step and yoga mat. I improvise for weights. I do Les Mills classes on the days I used to do them whether I feel like it or not.
It’s a bit lonely though. Sad

TheChosenTwo · 01/05/2020 12:27

I use the youtube app on my tv - I would struggle to see clearly enough on my iPad although I would manage well enough if I couldn’t get it on the tv.

TheChosenTwo · 01/05/2020 12:27

And I change into whatever I would wear if I was going to the gym.

PotterHarryWitch · 01/05/2020 12:29

Bit of Joe on youtube, on the tv, with yoga mats.

notacooldad · 01/05/2020 12:30

I use the tv.
I kick everyone out of the living room and put my mat and weight in front of tbe tv.
I used to do some classes bare foot but I found it hurt by ankles so now I wear my trainers.( except for yoga and pilates)

doobiedop · 01/05/2020 12:30

this thread is making me feel guilty as I've only actually done 2 classes!

Lyricallie · 01/05/2020 12:32

I wear my gym gear sports bra and trainers etc. We have wood flooring so it's fine. Also for zoom fitness classes I plug the laptop into the TV. For YouTube ones I just use my TV with Amazon fire stick Smile

iswhois · 01/05/2020 12:34

inwood · 01/05/2020 12:35

iswhois · 01/05/2020 12:35

And don't judge but I actually did one naked the other day I got so bloody hot!!!! Just locked myself away in my dressing room.

jeremypaxo · 01/05/2020 12:39

I stream from my phone to the TV using a Google Chromecast.

CroissantsAtDawn · 01/05/2020 12:42

If the floor is clear of DC and toys i project YouTube onto my TV or play my DVD.

If not, i watch it on my phone in a part of the room which is clear

HunterHearstHelmsley · 01/05/2020 12:45

I've got a smart TV but don't tend to use that for exercise. One is in my bedroom and one in the living room and I've commandeered the kitchen to exercise!

I do Facebook and YouTube workouts on an Amazon Fire. Les Mills on Demand on a Lenovo tablet. Then I have a USB stick full of workouts that I use on my laptop.

I'm not sure why I use different devices...

HunterHearstHelmsley · 01/05/2020 12:46

I wear my gym gear inc. Sports bra. But tend to wear older stuff or stuff I don't like as much.

Chromecast the phone to my TV then use the awesome totter & tumble baby mat as a yoga mat.

sproutsandparsnips · 01/05/2020 12:58

iPad propped up on sideboard in front of biggest space I have. My usual exercise is swimming so I only have one set of exercise clothes which I wear several days at a time and shower in between Blush
