Good luck getting in the routine it’s hard in the beginning but stick to it! Working out is the best! I wear lululemon invisa thong (called something like that idk) with a maxi skirt and sneakers. With a sports bra and baggy long sleeve shirt. I have an old sheital I wear also.

You could wear leggings. I just don’t like to. If I was doing exercises on the floor I would wear them. Since my workouts are all standing I don’t really feel the need to wear them. It’s just the feeling of leggings I don’t like.

I wear an exercise skirt from Kosher Casual and a loose top. Amazon carries these skirts and the delivery is much quicker than Kosher Casual..

They're much lighter than some of the cheaper brands.

If at home too r u asking?

I workout at home, I usually wear shells so generally I'll remove outer shirt & wear my shell with yoga pants.

I need entertaining podcasts & music to get/keep me going. Difficult to start, sometimes I get off track, but the overall feeling of strength & energy, physically & psychologically, keeps me at it.

I have a background somewhat so I cam browse lets say Instagram accounts for new variations of strength training & be able to do them properly. But if someone doesn't have any experience, it might be a good idea to try & go to a class or higher a reputable personal trainer, even just once,, maybe with a friend to lower the cost, just to get a basic foundation of proper form/posture (to avoid injury) & how to not overdo it, but also not under do it & then see little gain.

Politically correct answer: I have several easy-care outfits consisting of modest tops and matching roomy skirts in bright cheerful colors and patterns, enough to wear a fresh outfit each day. Something like the modest swimsuits that look like skirts and tops.

Truth: I work out at home. Early in the morning. I use a rubbery yoga mat, many years old, and wear a ratty old cotton T shirt, of which I have many, and equally ratty cotton knit shorts. I possess a leotard or two, equally old or older, that I wear now and then when I feel like pretending to be a ballerina or belly dancer. Nobody sees me; the cotton knit fabric is comfortable, absorbent, and easily washable; and the T shirts cost me nothing because they're regular shirts that can no longer be worn in public but haven't quite yet descended to dustrag condition.

As for equipment, I have a small assortment of hand and ankle weights and resistance bands, acquired over a long period of time, usually on the advice of a physical therapist so that I could do the exercises at home . Most of what I do is a continuation of PT from way back.

I also walk several miles a day. For this I usually wear a nice T shirt or polo shirt and a skirt with an A-line shape that allows me to take long strides. In cool weather I add a zip-front sweatshirt and a thigh- length coat if it's really frigid. Gloves, mittens, scarves as needed. A small backpack for my water bottle and face mop (a small towel or big washcloth). My phone and headset to let me listen to music as I walk. And that's pretty much it.
