Showering BEFORE the gym? What?

MostlyWater

I actually heard a few of the ladies in my class talk about how people smell and that they should be showering BEFORE the gym.

Really? I get up at 5 something as it is, and I walk 20 minutes in the cold - how sick would I get if I did that !!!

I've done it a few times because I want to shave my legs before wearing shorts or something. It's not like you end up smelling significantly better afterwards, so I think they're just trying to find things to be judgy about.

There are people on this very board who will tell you you should never be naked in the gym's locker room, either. People gots some weird body issues, no reason to make them yours.

I think the OP means getting sick from walking in the cold after a shower.

Once in a while I shower before a work out if I want my body to loosen up a little bit more - the warm water etc... But I love showers so go figure

If you smell bad, do something about it if you plan on coming within 6 feet of someone.
