    I do sometimes ... but who is getting that close to me at the gym that they can smell my breath???

    *edit: plus at my gym at 4:30am there are like 5 people and I don't talk to any one. I brush my teeth after my breakfast and coffee after the gym.

    I ALWAYS brush before I go workout! Even if I go on a run by myself! What if something happens and you have to have mouth to mouth. You gotta be prepared people! :wink:

    I KNOW!!! and it doesn't hurt that the trainer covering the fitness floor M-F morning is a hot 20-something guy....

    I even brush my teeth when all I've got to do that day is work from home in my jammies...I may be a dirty dilbert, but my teeths are clean!

    I brush my teeth and apply deodorant during my squats. I'm just that awesome.

    I AB_SO_LUTE_LY POS_I_TIVE_LY 100% of the time brush my teeth before I go to the gym. I actually don't walk outta the house EVER before brushing my teeth. My family makes fun of me because I carry dental floss in my car. <SMH> that this even had to come up in a thread but thanks for posting it for those who do NOT brush.

    I don't usually smell people's breath...and if they're that close to me, bad breath is going to be the least of his worries!

    I clean my teeth before dragging myself in to open the gym at 6am - THEN I eat breakfast and drink a coffee but I just can't leave the house without cleaning my teeth.

    I have had a couple of early morning people in with stale (not really bad) breath so at least rinsing out their mouth would be preferable.

    Are you that much of a self-centered *kitten* that you'll let everyone else smell your morning breath instead of taking a few more minutes out of your morning to brush your teeth???

    I know I am.

    I would not check my mail without brushing my teeth!

    Brush, brush, brush your teeth, each and every day...

    Yep. I have to drop my oldest off at preschool first, and I just don't know the other moms well enough to let them partake in my glorious morning breath. Gotta at least buy me dinner for that awesomeness.

    naw man, an intense activity like brushing teeth is bound to deplete all your glycogen, so then the workout will suffer.

    Toothpaste ruins the flavah of my shake and pre-workout, that's just silly talk.

    And makes my coffee taste like black licorice
    I love coffee post teeth brushing. I think it tastes better.

    I brush my teeth, then take a brillo pad to my tongue to remove the wool sweater that represents the previously nights over-indulgence.

    Brushing too often is bad for your gums :c
