To want sexy workout clothes?

I have to start "working out" as a way of minimising a medical condition I have :-(

Exercise is probably my least favourite activity EVER and I have serious willpower ishoos. I'll be doing my exercises and weights and stuff at home.

Part of me wants to get a really cool/nice/sexy workout outfit so I can feel motivated and good when working out.

The other part of me thinks thats pathetic and a waste of money when I could just wear the old t-shirt and tracksuit bottoms I already have.

What do you wear?

I wear workout leggings and a Primark slouchy t-shirt as it's a longer length.

There are loads of nice work out clothes go for it. I love my work out gear if I have to be doing it I want to be dressed for it

Decathlon has loads of reasonably priced workout stuff. Not sure if it's sexy, but it won't break the bank!

I don't know what your personal taste is.... and none of these are "sexy"....
but loads of leggings here that'd certainly make getting dressed for the gym more interesting.

Watching with interest for new shops.

I say go for it OP! New workout gear always motivates me to get started.

I like Nike leggings. They have some groovy prints too. They fit well and look flattering but I would like some nice tops because I'm not keen on theirs.

Maybe you could set yourself some workout goals (certain number of reps/push-ups/what-have-you), and your reward for reaching them could be a piece of new gym kit? Could be good encouragement :)

I found it helped me motivation wise to have the correct 'gear', instead of using my old t-shirts. Felt more ready to go. I just got it all from T-XMax

Sports Direct is affordable with big selection. Sports Gear is very "in", New Look, Primark and every other chain of women's wear shop seems to sell it.

I wear "Dad's clothes" : an old t-shirt or tank top & a pair of net crotch shorts I got in a charity shop. Old socks with holes in them. Sometimes my trainers have holes, too.

I'm gonna be honest with you. I find that people who feel strongly about the "right gear" seem the least likely to use it much.
