I was not very nice in my first (Health) Club Culture post. I railed about how the people who flake out in the first month just take up space and generally annoy me. If you are new to the club I hope you took that in the spirit in which it was intended, its a Glen Gary moment. Pick it up, do the work, earn respect and (most importaintly) accomplish your goals.
For this post I thought I would address something that my wife and I have talked about a lot. What do you wear to the club? Let me illistrate things you might see:
- High schoolers with sleeves and sides removed from their baggy t-shirts.
- Dude with way to much spandex.
- Overweight person in dripping sweat soaked t-shirt.
- Chick in sports bra.
- Chick with way to much makeup on for the gym (or life).
- Person with matching outfit.
So what should you wear? Here is a really short answer: whatever you want. All of the above people have it right. You need to pick something that you are going to feel good wearing. Keep in mind you go to the gym to work-out. So there is really no point in trying to look good. Sure I can understand not looking homeless but you don’t need to match, wear make-up, ect… If you look in the mirror and you are wearing short/sweat pants and a t-shirt, you are ready to rock.
OK, now I love the Under Armor compression gear. I am in shape and not self conscious. I could care less if people think I am showing off or nasty because I my gear is form fitting. You should be picking up on a theme by now, work out for you, not anyone else.
In summary: Wear what you want. Screw what other people think. Bring your war face.
