Exercise Naked
Being naked is a journey to finding our own true self, or so it is said by advocates of wearing no clothes. Naked exercising is free, uninhibited, and a bit embarrassing. It is trending in some New York City and LA gyms where whole-body workouts have been designed just for the under-dressed exerciser. The advantage is you don’t have to pack running shoes, gym shorts, or a tank top. You might need a towel around your neck to stop the sweat from running down your privates, but hey, more power to you.
Sweat wicking is a big when wearing exercise clothes. Wicking fabric pulls moisture from your body to the exterior of your clothes where it evaporates easily. Exercising naked does away with sweat-wicking fabrics. As you exercise, your sweat just flies everywhere. You don’t have to worry about washing t-shirts or exercise shorts, just take a shower after your session. Save on the laundry bill, and save money. You don’t have to keep up with the expensive workout clothes that you see in your gym.
Body Image
Be aware of your body image, forget stylish or grungy workout clothes. Just walk out into the gym and start exercising on your favorite machine without any clothes on. Think of these two things, however. First, it might be considered unsanitary so take a towel to sit on, and second you will probably be escorted out of the gym after you get dressed. But, hey, you might just start a trend.
Exercising naked is a great motivator. Visual clues are a wake-up call. You see your favorite shower towel lying next to your bed, and you know you have to get up and exercise before ever getting dressed. No more investing in workout clothes. You don’t have to go to the mall to stock up on shorts and t-shirts, you already have you workout clothes ready to go. By exercising naked, you will make great friends. You have conversation subjects ready and waiting – the new bruise you found on your butt, the tightening of you belly, and even the way your skin glistens when you sweat.
The trick is to find a gym that advocates being naked while exercising, or just exercise naked with a group of good friends. The advantage is you have nothing between you and your workout. You can feel free, move and bend easier, and get a great laugh while you do lunges.
Recently while walking through a neighborhood park, a very athletic runner shed everything but the shoes. He touched his toes a couple of times, stretched, and began running nude with all his might. Enter the local police agency. They chased him on their bikes, but he was so fast. Is this the same guy who runs streaking through sporting events? Maybe, but he was having a great time, you could tell.
Naked Yoga
Naked yoga? That’s a great possibility. You do your yoga poses in a darkened room, everyone is supposed to close their eyes, and no one can see your sagging butt as you lose your balance and hit the floor. Authentic yoga, or the yoga that is passed down from yogi masters and gurus, is supposed to reveal the inner peace in your soul. Meditation is awesome when you are uninhibited and unrestrained. Try it at your next yoga class, just remember, you will lose our concentration if you peek.
