      Im starting to wonder what my neighbors think. I work out at home at night. (Dont like the idea of a gym) Since I live in an apartment, I figure my neighbors below me hear me working out, but then my neighbor on the other side (and maybe above and below me as well) hear the shower running in the morning AND at night. (I can hear the water running for my neighbor above me and beside me.) I need to wash my hair in the morning I just cant wash it at night and it still be decent and cooperate in the morning!

      technically i have time i suppose but i don't. i work out after work. if i am going home i just go home. then i cook dinner and eat and by then it is 8:30 and i have generally forgotten about the shower and have it in the morning. just being honest.

      if i am going out with friends (like today) i wait until i cool down then reapply deodorant, wash my face, put on fresh make-up and make sure my hair doesn't look a fright.

      my gym doesn't really have showers. well technically they do but they are more for the pool than the fitness center and don't have curtains. plus, i don't think it is appropriate for an adult woman alone to be nude in front of a lot of unaccompanied children...but maybe that's just me.

      in the morning yes, I shower, during my lunch hour no, I don't, don't have time to or a place to, I just cool off, and hopefully I don't stink that bad...if I do then I guess people will stay out of my cubicle...:laugh:

      Yep, I always shower after a work out.

      I see women at my gym complete a class and just throw a coat on over their sweaty work out clothes and then hit public transport (gym is in central London and is neither residential nor convenient for parking). Yuck :sick:

      Oh no! Not with the buses already smelling of fried chicken and the Tube with air con blowing out hot air in summer :sick:

      I thought women didn't sweat. I thought you ladies only prespired.

      LMFAO!!!! Oh some of us sweat!! One of my work outs...I have had to wash my floor after from dripping sweat!!! haha

      To answer the question - not always :( I have those stupid wet clothes no shower things (sponge bath) I do not typically have any odor to my sweat though (thank god!) I am sure if I did...a shower would be mandatory time or not!

      I hate showering at the gym (seriously ladies, if you have long hair, pick up your own damn hairballs!), so I shower before I go lift, then I just change my clothes after.

      Nope! In fact, I workout at 6am and can't shower until nighttime because there is no time. But, it is what it is!

      6am - Kickboxing class for an hour. I have to race home and get my daughter up for school and get her ready (she's only 6). I drop her to school and drive straight to work (I have my own office space and don't have to really deal with anyone directly). Work until 5:30, go home the husband has dinner ready. I feed the kids. Then I bathe the kids. Then I read to the kids. Then I put them to sleep. Then I shower. DEAR GOD. :laugh:

      But that's just three days a week. On the other days, I'll shower right away.

      Yes, always. Most of the time I sweat enough to have to wash my hair, too.

      I work out at night most of the time, and when I do I don't shower. I just go home and go to bed. My wife hasn't complained yet :D

      If I'm going to work afterward though I make sure to take a towel and shampoo and soap and stuff. Don't want to be at work smellin' awful.

      Yes. I love walking around the locker room after a shower without a towel, and blow drying my junk with the hair dryers.

      Wait, that's not me. That's the other old dudes.

      I always shower after I workout. I live near the gym, so I wait until I get home.

      Women, if you really worked up a sweat, it is not a good idea to put off showering, unless you want a perfect breeding ground for a yeast infection.

      ALWAYS!!!!! And I typically partner up to save water. Works out well for all involved.

      We glisten.

      And to answer the OP, I don't always because I go to the gym at the university, usually between classes. What I do is just clean up a little and make sure I don't stink then take a shower promptly when I get home. I also walk to campus, anyway, so I'm going to get even more sweaty usually.

      I work out on my lunch break, and I'm not wasting 20 minutes of my time with a shower/make-up. Baby wipes and perfume :)

      I only shower when I can smell my own feet from a standing position.

      I usually give myself to cool down a little while I have my postworkout snack, then I shower. I can easily smell the stank from my armpits if I don't. Bet all the guys want to date me now...haha :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

      I don't shower after I work out. That would mean I would be showering like every day and no way my skin/scalp would tolerate that.
