Jewelry and Gym

This content has been removed.

I haven't worn my wedding ring(s) since maybe about 6 months after I was married. My husband doesn't wear his either but that's a long story for another day/topic. Lol. But I do wear earrings and occasionally I wear bracelets to the gym. They haven't given me any problems.

I don't wear any of my rings, to include my wedding set, to the gym, even if it is just for cardio. I wear gloves to lift and it sounds uncomfortable to wear it underneath, and my fingers swell during cardio and makes it extremely uncomfortable to wear rings! My husband wears his all the time, and to the gym to lift, but his cannot be damaged the way my white gold ring can. Nobody has ever asked me why I'm not wearing my ring, but I have been hit on several times at the gym presumably because I don't have my ring on. When I say I'm married, they back off. I don't understand why people make such a huge deal about not wearing their rings - if you're faithful and your spouse is fine with you not wearing it then there shouldn't be an issue at all. I wear mine to work, but any other time it's usually off and in a safe place. Weekends when I'm just around the house, cleaning, doing laundry, etc I still don't wear it. No big deal!

I don't wear rings because they get caught on my skin or my gloves when I lift. Necklaces, bracelets or anklets distract me when they're bouncing around. I have stretched ears and I almost always wear simple plugs or tunnels that don't get in the way of anything, so I leave those in. I also leave in my navel and cartilage piercings because it is time consuming to take apart the rings and it is easy to lose the small parts.

I see women come to the gym in full makeup and wearing nice earrings and necklaces. Seems strange to me but whatever motivates them to get their workout done, good for them!

I don't take mine off ever. I wear them 24/7. In the shower, to bed, to work, out to dinner, doing dishes, mowing the lawn, while working out. Having said that, I can see why you would take them off while you're lifting weights. My fingers have been pinched many times while lifting but I still won't take them off. But that's just me. Do what works for you.

Married people always wear their rings.

Yeah.. about that... no. I wear mine when it's safe to do so. Now that I work in an office setting, I wear it to work, but I don't wear it in the shower, in the gym, hiking, cleaning, cooking/baking, etc. My husband regularly forgets to put his on when he goes to work and neither of us wear it to bed.

Agreed - love people who speak for half the world :noway:

I take my wedding ring off for pretty much everything. Every time I'm going to get water or some other liquid on my hands I take it off. The only time I really don't is when I'm running, just usually don't think about it. When I do weights or swim it definitely comes off.

I always have my wedding bands on when I get to the gym but I do slip them off when doing deadlifts. I put them back on after that though. As for other jewelry, I will often have a simple necklace on but that's just because it's something that I don't take off for days at a time. Nothing else other than that.

Not always in a game we have to remove ALL jewelry or it is a no play. I do the same at the gym for the same reason...dangerous to have them on in some of the activities.

Married people always wear their rings.

No, not true. Been happily married for 25 years and neither of us wears a ring. Too cumbersome at work and the gym. I don't need a ring to tell me I'm taken and if anyone asks I gladly tell them I am.

Same here - married for 12 years and we don't even have rings. If someone is flirting with me, it's not hard to bring up my husband in conversation and that's that. Between sports that we both do and my husband's work - they would be off more than they would be on for safety reasons, and they'd be expensive things to lose...

I wear mine because I sort of think it would be cool if the rough part of the barbell would leave scratches on them, permanent battle wounds as opposed to the calluses that heal.

I just recently got engaged and that sucker never comes off. My dad and my mom have been married to 32 years and my dad is an electrician who also never takes off his band. His wedding band is all kinds of crooked and scratched and I think it is so awesome.

My husband and I both wear our wedding bands,, He never takes his off...and I just very rarely take my off..only making biscuits or putting on panty hose..lol..but if you and your husband are ok.. with it nothing wrong with it..You and he both know your married..

I don't wear mine IF I go the gym (usually I workout at home). Mine has diamonds all around it and it hurts when I lift. I don't even wear it around the house because it gets in the way when I'm painting and can cut into the sides of my fingers. My husband doesn't wear his when he lifts either. But both of us have a little bit of tan lines, so at least it's obvious that there's usually a ring there!

I wear my wedding rings, that's it. I 1. don't want to get hit on, and 2. am scared to death of losing it! If I take it off, I lose it! I guess if it bothered me I'd take it off, but I havent had any problems
