Not showering after the gym?

Just bring some baby wipes and something that you can do your hair up in - I'm sure people show up in worse shape!

You need to keep your "woo hoo" dry. I did that when I was in college and ended up at the doctor. Heat and sweat make a great breading ground for bacteria. I am a huge sweater. I also ended up with backne from it, so now I shower immediatly after exercise.

You might find you end up with something like Athlete's Foot if you don't shower afterwards.

when my sister was in Nursing school she barely had time to shower between work and class so she carried baby wipes and used them often! I think what your already doing and then wipes you should be good,, Like what Khipson said some people show up to class in worse shape!!!

I work out on my lunch breaks at work a couple times a week and on Monday nights between work and my night class. I change all of my clothes including undergarments and I keep a supply of wipes, baby powder, and deodorant in my gym bag. Ive never had any issue.

Yes baby wipes!

I totally worked out between classes in college, nobody notices because if you really look at everybody else most of them are in sweats or pjs or have clearly not washed their hair lately. (Or they are hippies) So I say don't worry about it! Just rinse off your face and go to class.

I go the gym at lunch a lot and then back to work. Never had any problem or comments from my co-workers and I work in a small office. I do, however, change out of everything into my workout clothes, bras, panties, etc. so I can sweat; then when I'm done, I wipe down with wet wipes and/or wet towel and change back into my work clothes; keep lavendar baby powder and deodorant in my bag and it all seems to work well. On the weekends, after my Saturday morning latin heat class, depending upon what needs to be done, I often just run my errands straight from the gym. I know I look a mess, but I feel good cuz I worked out!

Camping supply places carry specialty wipes that do a little better than baby wipes (but then again, they're a little more expensive). I'm just outside Atlanta and you can go to any ****'s sporting goods to get them.

EDIT: Well evidently I can't name the sporting goods store due to the fact its a name for the male anatomy...also a nickname for Richard.

I've never showered after exercising unless I was going to a social event or something...I do sweat but I'm not drenched or anything

I go to class all the time after the gym! Just make sure you bring some deodorant with you!

Baby wipes etc might work but I sweat too much and care too much about how I look and smell so I couldn't get away with it but we are all different. My hair would be dripping...ugh....I think if you are comfortable with it, go for it! :glasses:

If you don't stink it's not offensive. Beware of body sprays, they do stink and could be offensive, just like perfume. I HATE it when coworkers wear perfume to the office. What smells good to you is often offensive to others.

Bring some type of wet wipes with you to the gym and make sure you wipe off the sweat. Even if you don't stink, the sweat can cause skin irritation or blotches. A wet washcloth would work too.

But that being said... To sit through an hour long class after, I think that's fine. Use some wipes and a little body splash and shower after
