Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries, aerobics classes are usually done in gyms or community centers where the dress code is casual‑sport. Light, moisture‑wicking fabrics (like polyester or nylon) are preferred over cotton because they keep you dry. Also, the reflexive verb 'ponerse' is the natural way to talk about putting on clothes; saying 'pongo' without the pronoun sounds odd in this context.
