Many of us spend quite some time in our workout gear, so new research revealing 76 per cent of women find it can be sexist should be a cause for concern.

Furthermore, some 18 per cent of women admit to feeling objectified when wearing sportswear, while there is also a discrepancy in the cost, with the research, by www.golfsupport.com, revealing that there has been a 53 per cent increase in the average price of gym wear for women compared to men.

However, it seems women enjoy wearing their workout gear, with 89 per cent admitting to wearing sportswear when not doing any exercise, with the majority saying they wear it to lounge in at home. Some five per cent admitted to wearing athleisure to work, and two per cent wore it on a night out!
