    Cathe:after six years, shouldn't I have more % muscle??

    Personal question/workout underwear at the gym

    When I exercise with my running shorts and yoga capri's, I generally don't wear underwear. Sometimes, i will wear my running shorts under some other loose athletic pants. That seems to help with moisture control. In the gym, I have had to stick with black pants since any other color turns...
