What Not to Wear...at the Gym

Here's a tip for any woman who is not under the age of 30 and in fantastic shape. Never wear light gray, white or other light-colored form-fitting pants at the gym (or anywhere else for that matter). This has nothing to do with your workout. It has to do with saving you from embarrassment. If you are tempted to wear any of these light-colored form-fitting pants, first take a look in the rear-view mirror. The sight may not be pretty.

Let's face it. Even if you are in great shape, time and gravity have a way of wreaking havoc on our bodies. Dimples, rolls, wrinkles and sagging are not the features we want to accentuate.

Same goes for the legs. If your legs have that weathered look, ditch the shorts. Go for cropped-length or long pants.

Buy some nice dark-colored pants and do yourself, and everyone else in the gym, a favor.
