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.
It's now one of the most searched for terms in the fitness community as more and more people look to jump on the cheesy statement bandwagon.
While some use it in a deadly serious 'look at me' manner the majority of us go for a hint of sarcasm and the truth is it can have a great effect on your workout and lifestyle. Why?
* There's a lot to be said for someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously, after all
* Should you desire to speak to anyone else working out you have yourself a great ice breaker
* It won't just make you laugh, it'll entertain others too
But the next time you think about hitting the gym with a top which shouts out "Sorry if my biceps get in your way!", "Shut up and squat!" or "Is it massive in here, or is it just me?" you have to be sure of one thing:
Can you pull it off?
You need to find out what works for your body and what doesn't. For example, a bodybuilder would be able to get away with "Get massive, stay massive!" but the average 50kg skinny student wouldn't be. Sure he could be going for tongue-in-cheek in a bid to make the opposite sex laugh, but there is a much larger chance that he'll just open himself up for self ridicule. Remember, there are enough negative people out there to put you down you don't need to do it yourself.
It's becoming an increasingly popular fitness niche among regular trainers and we don't see the trend slowing down any time soon.
So the next time you hit the iron try adding a cheesy workout top into the mix and, if nothing else, you will have yourself a very good conversation starter.
