Tools of Attraction: Working Out
Five New Yorkers get dressed for the gym.

Tom, 32, stylist

You're a stylist. You must know all the cool things to wear.
I do, I do. But personally, I'm a slob.
What do you mean? You don't practice what you preach?
I think you can pick stuff off the floor and make it look good.
So who are your favorite designers right now?
I always like Tom Ford. He's pretty great. Marc Jacobs is fun for the summer.
Do you know what Tom Ford says about men in shorts?
Something about... not wearing shorts?
Only at the tennis court or the pool.
Well, I'm not that kind of pretentious fashion person.
So what's cool for summer?
It's hot; wear shorts! Wear color. Just be comfortable. I'm usually at the beach all summer, so my vibe is a beach vibe.
What's your gym style?
You should just look sexy and cool. The gym can be a very sexy place.
Has anyone ever tried to pick you up at the gym?
Isn't that what it's all about?
Totally. I mean, that and fitness. Have you ever picked someone up at the gym?
Of course! I don't really have a method. Usually someone makes a comment about my hair. That gets me in the door. But I've never had a relationship that was born out of the gym. Not for more than a night, at least. Joking!
tank top: Hanes, shorts: Club Monaco, sunglasses: vintage safety glasses from the '50s, shoes: IGS

"Sometimes I get cat-called by creeps on the street. But it's so hot! You’ve got to flaunt it if you've got it."
Yeah, you go, girl! Show of your body but get offended if anyone notices!
She's wearing Nike underwear... doesn't take a genius to work out that if you don't want that kind of attention, should maybe wear shorts that are 2" longer.
Just because she likes to wear clothing that shows off her body doesn't mean that she wants to be harassed on the street. I think a lot of women find catcalls and attention like that threatening, not flattering. And the solution to that is not in restricting how women can dress.
It's only harassment if the catcalls come from ugly people. If they are from hot studs then it's empowerment.
if she wants to dress "risque," learn to expect it. It's basically asking for it, why else would you dress like that.
Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole

Jill's knees are terrifying
Jill needs to eat a few donuts... she looks anorexic as hell.
I want to give her a sandwich.
The adidas comment about Boston is so so true
Wow, Michelle does not live in the real world. Most people buy five shirts instead of one because different parts of their life dictate drastically different types of shifts. The vast majority of the population cannot wear workout clothes to work or class.
She's talking about what works for her, not 'most people,' which is the point of the series.
Michelle is talking about what works for her...in a condescending and arrogant way. If she didn't want to run the risk of being called that, she shouldn't have given consent for the interview.
Gym to dance to class. Same shirt. Be sure to bump into her in gym and not in class when the fermentation starts.
If you think you smell bad at the gym, then it doesn't really make sense to wear the same clothes to class afterward, does it?
Can someone please put Jill on an IV drip of lard and liquid burgers?
Come on, people, why are you so interested in feeding Jill junk food? Why are people always so ready to weigh in when it comes to a woman's weight?
Only when they are in need of medical help.
i wouldn't call an iv drip of lard or binging on donuts medical 'help'
Michelle - that Jennifer Love Hewitt pose is probably not your best angle.
That Insanity Workout sounds crazy - 63 days straight? Talk about motivation.
Four score and seven minutes ago, I read a sweet article. Lol tahkns
