I'm going to join a gym

A new gym opened very close to our house.  It's very cheap to join and they are open 24 hours so I'm planning to go work out before DH goes to work in the mornings.

I haven't worked out in a gym since college and embarassingly enough, I have no workout clothes that will fit me anymore, so I have to buy some.  I don't even know what people wear to the gym anymore.  ;)

    Sounds like a good plan.  :)  Is it one of those "Anytime Fitness" places?

    When we belonged to a gym, I would wear yoga pants, t-shirt, and a sports bra.  I like Target's Champion line and ON's yoga pants.

    I wear the same thing to work out now, I just work out at home, on my lunch break, instead.

    Yep.  I say c9 from target.  Great prices and fit.  They've really stepped up their game in the last few years.

    That is exciting for you.  More "you" time, which is always a plus.

    It's called Planet Fitness.  I've seen pictures on the website and it looks nice.  I wonder how many people work out there.

    I went tonplanet fitness 10 years ago. That one was nice. :) And yes to C9. You will see people working out in everything from pajama pants to leotards, but most mainstream gyms just have people in t-shirts and gym shorts.

    I'll have to check out Target's stuff tonight when I'm there, then.

    You should have seen me trying to try on my old sports bra.  I almost peed my pants laughing.

    I love my gym because there are old women there in skirts (yes, skirts) and head scarves. There are also the freaks with their muscles and tight little spandex outfits, but the babushkas and I just roll our eyes and and make snide comments about them while we pretend to retie the laces on our orthopedic shoes.

    I just a friendly gal looking for options.

    I LOVE the C9 sports bras from Target. They last forever. I'm sure I should change them out more often, but I'm not doing much high impact stuff.

    I typically wear tanks and capris to the gym or yoga. I don't like sleeves when exercising.

    Hee @ zsa.

    Conn - It was ridiculous.  Too much boob and not enough bra.

    Oh also, get yourself a good pair of sneakers. Go to a running store, and they'll talk to you and watch you walk to determine the best type of sneakers for you.

    I've got some good ones.  Of course, I don't know where they are right off the top of my head, but I'll find them before tomorrow.
