The viral Reebok video of Chuck Liddell and girlfriend, Heidi Northcott, working out in the buff brings many things to mind. Safety was probably the first thing that popped into your head when you saw this video. Workout clothes provide more than just piece of mind for many.
They are important for:
1) Providing support
There are some parts of the body that just shouldn't be bouncing around.
2) Wicking away sweat
It can be painful when skin sticks to vinyl benches.
3) Cleanliness
Dripping sweat all over the place is gross and makes wiping up after yourself a timely venture.
4) Motivation
No, wait. A room full of mirrors, people looking, cameras on, maybe naked fitness is the next wave of motivation...
Workout clothes are more than just pretty pieces of fabric. They can enhance your performance, keep you clean and safe, as well as allow you to workout in public places. Naked fitness may be the hot new fitness must- are you ready to take the plunge? There didn't seem to be a trend of naked workouts in the Nashville area, but maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough.
