I am pretty fit but I always wear at least a tank top over my sports bra. Anyhow, they have pretty good stuff at Target, though I don't know the size range. I say figure out what is comfortable for you and go for it. Yay for you for getting started. Don't let *anyone* discourage you.

Yes, wear a shirt.

And you don't need to buy one of the super expensive sports bra. Wearing two usually works better.

I'm in very good shape and would never work out in just a sports bra. I will run in one, but at the gym I always wear a tank top over my sports bra.

I think most people who are committed to health and fitness will be encouraging, not judgy!

OP, are you a man or a woman? If it's he-boobies, my answer will be different. I need to know if we're talking about he-boobies.

NP here. And note that this is not an item you want to go "cheap" on. Any old t-shirt or shorts will do. But you've got to make sure you're wearing a properly fitted and comfortable bra. Otherwise, you won't want to work out. Spend the money if you have to get the right work-out bra.

Personally I only went running in a jog bra alone when I was in my early 20s and very lean. Otherwise, yes a t-shirt or a tank top over your sports bra is appropriate. Choose one that breathes and is a wickable fabric, not just a plain old cotton t-shirt if you can help it.

Well that's the whole point of asking! I don't know what most people do!

To the extent anyone at the gym notices you at all, they're going to be thinking "good for her" not "omg fat rolls". Wear whatever you feel comfortable in!

Depending on what kind of workout you're doing, you may not really need a sports bra. I used to squeeze into one, but realized I'm not running or otherwise bouncing (I'd use the stationary bike and weights at the gym) so a regular bra was fine.

I'm not a troll. I'm just fat.

Seriously. How stupid and mean.

What do you wear?

I haven't found any sports bras for my huge boobs that are inexpensive (48DDD) but even if I did, am not sure I'd want to be exposing my huge belly, fat rolls, etc. to strangers. Can we work out in the dark?
