ireallyagreewithyou · 19/09/2011 11:43

notsofastmrbond · 19/09/2011 11:44

Hmmm. I'm too fat to wear that kind of thing to the gym right now, but will bookmark it for a couple of months time Grin

ireallyagreewithyou · 19/09/2011 11:46

i think showing off less chest is much more slimming. and sleevelss is BRILL for spinning

smartyparts · 19/09/2011 19:38

How long is it please?

I run and need something that covers my tummy and thenworst of my bumBlush

I have some Nike running tops already which fit the bill as I sized up but I like the colours of those ones.

ireallyagreewithyou · 20/09/2011 19:38

LONG if you pulled it down to crotch i think
nice to ruche over arse

OP posts:
ireallyagreewithyou · 20/09/2011 19:38

this is way the best

Ughg, hideous, looks like a school gym top.

I love Sweaty Betty ones - super long, matching sports bras and nice flattering racer backs.

Like this one www.sweatybetty.com/athlete-vest-prodwc0162_aqua/

ireallyagreewithyou · 20/09/2011 19:44

i dont like that for tit reasons

spinning = you bend over a lot

OP posts:
HeavyHeidi · 20/09/2011 20:01

I agree, the sweaty betty is too low cut and their matching sports bras are for small sizes only. I teach some fitness classes and am an F-cup, always such a pain to find tops that will not make me look like a pornstar - not something I'm aiming for when in front of the class and dozens of people staring at me.

HandMini · 20/09/2011 20:15

Fair dos on the Sweaty Betty bras.....I am a C cup and can only just squeeze into their crop bras...good support though! I like a low cut top with a more fulsome bra that then shows.

cornsillx · 20/09/2011 20:35

I have a top just like that (that same colour) with short sleeves from sports world.

cornsillx · 20/09/2011 20:36

I need new gym pants though.

smartyparts · 20/09/2011 20:41

Re tit reasons - I was at spinning today, next to a large woman with a low cut top.

I couldn't stop looking at her tits when she was standing - they were having an exercise class all of their own, at double the speed of the rest of her.

I have now ordered 2 more of these tops from bargainous site.

ireallyagreewithyou · 20/09/2011 22:30

Agree re tots not needing to make a guest appearance

OP posts:
ireallyagreewithyou · 20/09/2011 22:30

Ha. And tits

OP posts:
TrillianAstra · 20/09/2011 22:32

My gym top is a built-in sports bra.

(not midriff-showing but down-to-waist top where the top bit IS the sports bra)

So that top looks rubbish to me as you'd have to wear a sports bra as well.

ireallyagreewithyou · 20/09/2011 22:39

Lol at the file who thinks built in sports bras work over a d cup

OP posts:
TrillianAstra · 20/09/2011 22:40

It's a sports bra with some material coming down from the bottom to cover your tummy. How is that less effective than one that reveals your midriff?

and I'm only a B so what do I know

still not in love with your very unexciting top though

ireallyagreewithyou · 20/09/2011 22:45

They never do shit like that over gnat bite size

Anyway. It's not compulsory ! Just a rec. Fabric soft too
