after your workout do you always have time to shower?

I work out at home after work. I just go to bed as is and shower in the morning

If I feel super duper nasty, I'll rinse off before bed, but usually I don't.

for the ladies it is smelling like sweaty vag, especially if they are wearing thin yoga pants.

it gets hot down there.

it gets hot down there.

That would explain why women in the gym always have dogs following them around.

Gross. Yes I ALWAYS shower. That is so gross.

there will be no shower shaming here...this is a place of support.

: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.

You don't have to scrub or wash your hair every time but it doesn't hurt anyone to rinse that stank off - especially the people you sit next to!

Yes. It's part of the workout.

I always have to shower after I work out

I sweat like a sow...every part of my glistens...and many parts drip! All my hair is even wet if I have done intense cardio so....I ALWAYS shower after I work out.

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

That reminds me of this one episode of Boy Meets World:

Cory - "Are you sweating?"

Topanga - "I don't sweat, I glisten."

Cory - "Well, you're glistening like a pig."

When I wake up I go to the shower, I run the water, and crouch down in a ball like arnie when he came back through time in the terminator. With the water running down my back, I tense every muscle in my body, and begin humming the terminator theme song(you know the one - da da da, daaaaaaa daaaaaa daaaaaaaa) with my eyes closed. I slowly rise while still humming, and after I finish I open my eyes.

I know that for the rest of the day I can go out into the world as a completely badass, emotionless cyborg. Alpha as ****, I won't give a **** what anyone thinks. If I want to wear my leather jacket to college, I will.

:laugh: Bahaha love this!

I generally do because I have to go straight to work after - if I don't have time, then baby wipes, deodorant and perfume are my friends.

I totally get the kid thing though, their timing is always impeccable.

Some folks have children who suddenly have needs when shower time rolls around. Myself, you know it's like Newtons fifteenth law or something. A woman who wakes at 5am to get work out and shower in before kids wake up, will be stopped by those children because they will wake up at 5:15 preventing the peaceful workout and cleansing shower.

That doesn't set a very good example for the kids. I would think that having kids, you would try to be MORE hygenic, not less.

Ha, I call BS. The best workouts are the ones that end with me dripping with sweat and smelling like a used sock. That's how I know I earned my calories that day. I'm not even a little bit ashamed of it. None of this glistening, sparkling, or schvitzing crap. I earn my sweat as much as any guy.


For me, I like to sit for a few minutes and cool off and then shower. If it's a lighter workout, like yoga, I don't always feel the need to shower right away. If I've been running and the weather is cool, I may not need to. If it's hot out or I've been rock climbing, I definitely shower. Depending on how much I was sweating, sometimes I'll sit and relax and have a snack first, and sometimes it's basically a necessity that I shower immediately, in consideration of those around me :-p I shower at home though, never at the gym. There IS a shower there, but I've never seen anyone use it... not sure I want to know what's living in those tiles. I only live 5 minutes away and I'm driving, so it's no big deal to just hop in the car and head home to shower.

The shower feels nice after a hard workout anyway. Nice hot water on my sore muscles...

No excuse. I'm sure when they start saying "Mommy you stink," you will see how important that is. First it is teaching them poor hygiene. Second keeping sweaty clothes on can cause yeast infections in women, that is a fact. Third, if you have time to exercise then you have time to shower. What are your kids doing while you are exercising? Why can't they do the same thing you give them to pass the time while you workout while you shower. Or if tthey are exercising with you tcan wash the little ones while you wash yourself. Stop trying to justify an action that is just not acceptable in a society where running water is abundant and soap is plentiful.

DO try and get over yourself.

DO not post a topic if you don't want to hear an opinion different than your own.

Umm..... I didn't post this topic. LOL.... you can't even figure out who the original poster is? You should just go ahead and get over yourself. You know, just do it.
