Captions By Candie Hart | PinkFemme

I often suggest that girls use their workout time for dressing and being girly. It adds motivation to each workout. If, however, you choose to take your cute workout outfits into the gym there are a few things to bear in mind so that you can get the most from the experience. When it comes to being a gym bunny, Candace is more of an expert than I am – so I defer to her. Take the time to go through the 10 tips that she has listed below. Are there any that you haven’t used yet? Let me know. Hugs. One thing before we continue: It is thanks to fabulous people like you that Pink Femme can stay free for everyone to use.

If that’s your thing, more to you. But don’t be a sissy in the gym. Just because you’re a guy dressed like a girl doesn’t mean you have to be a powder puff. 2) Don’t let the gym rats steal your joy–Nobody should steal your joy. They might assault your happiness, but nobody can take the joy that belongs to you. Those intolerant beastly men (gym rats) are just upset because you’re hotter than their girlfriend. 3) Don’t overpad your sports bra–I can see why you would want to look stacked, but there’s no logical reason to give yourself extra padding. Nobody wants to see your pads falling out all over the place. 4) Don’t be a harry Mary in beast mode–On the flip side of being a sissy, neither do you want to be a clumpy beast of a guy. It just doesn’t work. Yes, work out hard and tough, but don’t try to compensate for the lack of manliness you are exhibiting in your cute workout clothes. 5) Don’t be a tease without intent–It’s a lot of fun to be a tease, to flirt, or pose seductively with weights in hand. But if you’re not trying to garner the sexual attention of some guy or girl, don’t do it. Save it for the shower (lol-just kidding). 6) Don’t wear tennis shoes twice in two days–Keep your outfits mixed up. If you are a true gym bunny, you have at least six pairs of adorable sneakers. Mix it up one day to the next and keep yourself looking fresh and beautiful from head to toe! 7) Don’t wear Keds to lift weights–Yeah, they’re cute with rompers and cutoff shorts, but they have no place in the squat rack…or even in the zumba class. They’re not made for that. Save them for the mall or for the boardwalk. 8) Don’t fret over your revealing clothing–If you’ve got a good tuck going on (see #10), then there is no reason why you can’t be as bare as permissible. You don’t want to be a slouch and you need not worry over what others think. If you’ve got it, flaunt it…not for others, but for your developing personality. 9) Don’t mismatch your tops and bottoms–If I have to explain this one, then you need to take up golf from the seniors’ tees. 10) Don’t forget to tuck yourself tightly–You’ll get used to it. Nothing ruins a sleek womanly look than some unsightly bulge in tight-fitted hot shorts. You’re better than that. This was an OLD OLD post from way back when, but what a fun one!
