What not to wear at the gym:
Jeans: not the most giving fabric. Certain exercises, such as squats or lunges may be particularly difficult to execute. Also, just in case this wasn’t abundantly obvious, combining low-rise jeans with an exposed thong string is a sure-fire way to get much (well-deserved) ridicule. (Yes I have actually seen this.)
Short-shorts: when it is the tight Spandex type shorts popular among female volleyball players, it may draw some attention from the men. If you are a female and you don’t mind male attention, or you feel that it spices up your workouts – go for it! Then again, a gym can be a bit of a meat-market so if often doesn’t matter what you wear – people will stare at you. On the other hand, if you are a male, wearing short shorts that are loose, combined with a lack of underwear, is NOT the right attire for many exercises – lunges, deadlifts, squats come to mind. In this instance, the row machine is a particularly poor choice.
Layered shirts: some males feel inadequately buff and thus decide to layer their clothing to appear bigger. This really can’t be too comfortable, and unfortunately everyone can see you have 5 t-shirts on.
Sandals/flip-flops: Aside from looking like an idiot, when in an area with lots of heavy objects being tossed about you want your feet covered and at least somewhat protected.
Barefoot: This is sort of like the above, but takes a special type of person to pull off.
Goggles: unless you are playing squash or doing laps in the pool, goggles are not necessary while doing bicep curls.
But remember, no matter what your attire, never stop dreaming.
Next blog will be about my friend living vicariously through me on a dating site and it's hilarious. I don't quite know what she's doing or saying, but I've seen some messages and it's going to be blog worthy.
