Hi my name is Alana and I was baptised into the church last Saturday. I feel very confident in everytihng I have learned but I do have a question? What is the appropirate length for shorts for working out/sports? I am trying to find longer shorts but do they need to be as long as the skirts I wear to sacrament? I am guessing that conservative one pieces are ok for swimming. I was watching some of the Mormon messages and noticed girls in cheerleading skirts that were shorter than I would have thought they would be. I went to a private baptist high school and the cheerleading skirts went to our knees, but I'm getting off topic. It's easy to know what is considered modest with everyday clothing, but sports and swimming seems a little bit different. Alos I see girls weraing skirts that are a bit shorter at sacrament with leggings under them. I was thinking I could always throw leggings under my old work out shorts to make them longer. Can anyone give me some insight here?

So, I have had a little look around the forum but couldn't find the answer I was looking for. I recently went through the Temple just before I got married a few months ago, so modesty is something that's a bit more on my mind than before. I love going to the gym, but it recently came to my mind, does the 'strength for youth' type guidelines apply for exercise too? Should we be wearing tops with sleeves and shorts that go to/past the knee. So far I have been going with long/ or three quarter length trousers and then a sleeveless top because I get so hot doing cardio for like an hour. Of course I can live with wearing a top with sleeves, although it would be uncomfortable... If I ever go running outside, then I wear longer sleeves because i'm not in the 'environment of the gym' and there's people outside not doing exercise, if you know what I mean. But... what's the deal with modesty in sports? Thanks :)
