There is a lot of hype for workout motivation, styles and how to lose weight. But does anyone tell you what you should not do? Like, not the workouts but those little things, the mistakes that you make and get working out harder for yourself and others. Like there is something we all don’t want to see at the gym! What are those mistakes and how to avoid them?
Your Clothing
You like shiny and funky clothes, fine. You are still into baggy clothes fashion, fine. But workout clothes should have snug-fitting plus it should be comfortable and breathable whether it be your shorts, shirt, or even hoodie, because baggy clothes get in the way. These clothes pull the sweat away from the body and keep you cool throughout. It might not seem much now but during the workout, it really affects. Increase in performance, pushing yourself harder, training for longer and getting better results are some benefits you get. And most important it does not leave the lump of sweat on machines thus others can use it comfortably.
Fitting
Fitting is one of the great mistakes that we unintentionally make. Going for one plus size because of god knows what reason, it is all wrong. The clothes you are working out in should be perfect fitting like they were made specifically for you. Loose and baggy clothes make one look small and tight ones just restrict movements. On top of that, I often see people working out wearing cotton clothes, what – seriously. After some time, those are soaked in sweat creating problems for you and others. Not letting the body breathe and leaving sweat everywhere you go. Cotton combination with sweat-wicking materials will prevent these issues.
Cologne and fragrance workout
Exactly, there is nothing like that! Then why are you always wearing cologne to the gym? Stop that, first, it does nothing you are obviously going to sweat and smell anyways and second, cologne just makes it worse. It is the gym we are going to not some party or meeting and most important note you are wasting it. Perfumes when mixed with sweat and humidity in the gym it can cause headaches not just to you but to most of the people there. Now, don’t kill yourself if you were one of those. Wash your workout clothes daily and just don’t do it anymore.
Shoes
Just like the appropriate clothes to wear on the body, there are appropriate shoes. Flipflops are nor the right choice neither a sensible one. Good protection for the body and none for the feet, what mockery is this. Feet smell also causes headaches and people don’t like to see your feet, even if they are beautiful, yeah keep on thinking that. Wearing proper footwear will keep the feet safe from sudden weight fall on it and hitting your pinky finger in some machine. The benefits of wearing proper shoes go on and on.
Wearing jewelry at the gym
Yes, it is true because I’ve seen it. Come on, leave it at home what’s with the showoff? This is not a party and it is unsafe for you and the jewelry. Oval and scratched ring, it does not even sound good, skin allergy because of that ring or some infection if you’re looking for this then fine otherwise just take it off.
