I think that when us Mormons ( ha ha ) go to the gym it shouldn't be a free for all for immodesty. I know that while exercising we aren't required to wear garments, but I don't think that means you can wear short shorts and skinny tank tops. Roy is a relatively small town, surprisingly, and I see the same moms at the gym that have kids in the same preschool and tumbling. They are dressed very immodest at the gym and then I see them wearing garments to pick up the kids. Anyone have any thoughts on it? I want someone to give me a quote about modesty, specifically with garments and exercise. Tuesday, November 11, 2008
Gym Modesty

I would also recommend reading this article in full, but to answer your question, look to the section titled "Teachings of Modern Prophets"

just in case those links don't print in full, i'll email you
Thanks Amber! I knew you would dig up some dirt for me. :) I guess that I am judging other people and I shouldn't, but I was just wondering what the official word was.
I guess that I'm not the person to comment on this. When I taught aerobics, I probably was the most immodest... :) Nothing too skanky, but I would wear the spaghetti strapped tanks. I never got up enough guts to wear my sports bras or anything, but I guess that that was my excuse to let it all hang out! :) My thoughts are that I'm exercising, and that's really no different than swimming (an exercise) and I'm much more covered when I work out than when I wear a swimming suit... :) However, this is also pertaining to my pre-pregnancy life, so this comment may be subject to change in a few months! :) ha ha!
I agree with Amber and Brooke. Of course I have never looked like Brooke in workout clothes so I haven't wanted to share that with people,(too nauseating) But I also think that some parts of your body should stay covered. I guess it is a happy medium. I think people should be modest no matter what they are doing with one exception there ;)
It sounds like those women have different ideas of modesty. I have seen some of Brooke's workout clothes and I don't think they are immodest. I don't wear my garments when I workout, they just are made to run or do other really vigorous activities in.
Good job Amber on finding the article. I like that one.
