One of the fitness items growing hugely in popularity over the last year or so has been the use of funny gym t shirts. In our article today we point out the good and the bad aspects of using these in your local fitness center.
According to Google this is a search ever increasing in popularity and it has certainly shown no signs of slowing down over the last six months.
Something as simple as a semi-sarcastic or cheesy workout phrase can have a massive impact on your time in the weights, as well as having an overall positive effect on life outside the walls of the iron, too. How?
* It simply brightens up your day and reminds you to stop taking yourself so seriously
* Should you desire to speak to anyone else working out you have yourself a great ice breaker
* There's nothing wrong with putting a little smile on the face of those around you
There is one possible downside here, and it's a big one. The next time you want to hit the weights with a massive "Pain is just weakness leaving the body!" or "Train insane or remain the same!" logo across your chest you must first ask yourself one thing:
Can you pull it off?
While workout humor is one thing, making yourself look silly is another thing entirely. Would "Body under construction" be more suitable than, say, "I'm the personal trainer, you're the victim!"? You need to know how to pick the most suitable thing for your current physical shape because you don't want to attract the wrong kind of attention especially in an environment which could damage self esteem if you encounter someone with an attitude problem.
The concept has really caught on in fitness circles and in our gym it's now almost an everyday occurrence when a member strolls into the fitness center reception area wearing the most ridiculous workout statement of the day proudly emblazoned on their top. Whether it's sarcasm or not, it works.
So before you push yourself in your next workout consider looking up what's available out there and see if you can add a smile not just to your face but all those around you.
