Looking Cute While Working Out- (Pre-covid)

Ladies!

How many of us, just wake up, throw on anything and run to that 5 am cardio class? Be honest, did you brush your teeth? 

Or how many of us, have a long day at work and just hit the cardio machine with out putting on that extra deodorant?

Ladies, I have seen, smelled, and witnessed many "not so cute" actions by ladies in my fellow gym and other fitness classes.  Granted, most of the time we don't have time to always focus on how we look or smell...but to be honest, your a lady!- no excuses!

Just like meal prep Sundays (which I hope ya'll do), you have to prep your workout days also! I use Sunday as my prep day for my week.

I will discuss with you the importance of physical appearance and gym hygiene.  I will also point out tips and ideas on: "Looking cute while working out hard"!

Physical appearance:

Ladies, trust me people are looking at your linty pants, wrinkled t-shirt, and untamed hair...and those dry lips.  Look your best everywhere you go!  I take pride in looking my best for work, church, school, and the gym.  I do it for me, I do it and it makes me feel good.  I do it and it boosts my confidence! 

Outfits (Nike, Dicks Sporting, Burlington, Forever 21) -Treat yourself to new clothes from time to time, ditch those linty black sweats and wrinkled shirts.

Details (Nike, Dicks Sporting, Forever 21)-Take time to match your fits- accessorize with headbands and workout gloves.  Cute ankle socks and hair ties suggested (match everything!)

Moisturize (Aveeno, Burts Bees, L’Oreal)- Lotion your body and hands, apply lip gloss and don’t forget the mascara!  Extra tip:  Add a little blush to give that little extra cuteness

Sneakers (Nike, Finsihline, Footlocker)- Treat yourself once in a while to new feets.  Your feet deserve to be treated well, your feet takes you that extra mile on the spin bike or stair master!

Sports bras (Nike, Adidas, Old Navy, Forever 21) - invest in good sport bras ladies! Don't wear your padded push-up bra to do cardio and expect your melons or coconuts to stay in place!

Gym Hygiene:

Oh ladies, please take this as serious as you want to take your health...let's be mindful of our body and the ability that it has to smell bad!  I have been to my gym so many times and couldn't use the bathroom after a young lady came out, because it smelled horrible!  Or ladies forget to put on deodorant prior to working out- those clean and press shoulder workouts leave the area smelling foul!

Again, I take pride in myself all around and I shower before I work out!  Yes, I shower!  May seem like a non-sense thing to do, you’re probably saying but you’re going to get all sweaty anyway...so what...I have a better workout knowing my squats smell fresh and my overhead presses smell like secret deodorant !  Allow me to give you a few tips!

Shower: cleans your body after a long day prior to your workouts- you will re-energize your body and your overall performance will increase

Deodorant: Don’t be afraid to put deodorant on other places on your body...i put my deodorant on the small of my back, and on my tummy...so my sweat emanates good smells :)

Cotton Thongs/Underwear: I suggest you only wear cotton underwear, nylon underwear tends to have dye and can get all nasty and sweaty on your special parts.  When buying underwear for working out, get one size larger for that comfortable fit. Extra tip: wear panty liners to keep things clean

Foot spray: I spray my sneakers before and after my workouts...smelly feet are a no go!

Change after working out: after my workouts I like to get out of my everything and change into my lounge pants and hoodie...I normally go commando to let my body breath until I get home and shower:)

TIP: DO NOT PUT ON PERFUME AND BODY SPRAYS- it smells good to you, but smells horrible in the gym!

There you have it my MFP ladies...guys share my blog with your lady friends too, we need to spread how to Look cute while working out hard!

Ciao and Happy Fitness Lifestyle - Vio
