how many here look at themselves totally naked to judge how well your fitness is going?
Do you think this is good way to see the whole prospective?

    The way you look in the mirror doesn't necessarily reflect your fitness level. That said, most people with a good level of fitness will look the part...but I know a couple of overweight cyclists who can out fit me on a bike any day of the week. I also know lean/skinny people who have virtually no fitness at all.

    I judge my fitness by my capabilities.

    It's not the ONLY way I judge, but sure, it plays a part.

    But then, my fitness goals are largely motivated by pure vanity. I admire those who aren't so shallow.

    Wait, is this about those guys who take flexing selfies at the gym? I'm pretty sure they use the mirror to judge their fitness level.

    Although nakedness in the weight room is generally frowned upon.

    Unfortunately, that doesn't stop a lot of people...lol

    Wait! What gym do you go to that there is nakedness in the weight room? I've never seen any naked peeps at any of the gyms I've gone to over the years.

    Look, some of us took the whole "squat barefooted" thing to the next level. Deal with it.

    In the weight room tho?

    I misread and just automatically read "locker room"...I'd say most people frown on just walking around the locker room naked too, but a lot of old dudes do...I give them a pass...they're old and paid their dues and don't give a damn anymore.

    He probably meant the locker room. For men, there's always ALWAYS one old guy butt naked blow drying his balls. I've heard so many horror stories.

    I totally look at myself naked and judge...not my fitness level tho!
    Do you think this is good way to see the whole prospective?

    Not a good way to judge fitness...just aesthetics
