For your own benefit and the benefit of those around you here are some tips for not stinking out during and after a workout.
- have a shower after you workout, whether it be at the gym or the first thing when you get home.
- if you sweat a lot and stay in sweaty clothes for long periods consider using an anti-bacterial soap when you shower.
- put your workout clothes in the wash after every workout. Do not recycle them even if you think you didn't really sweat in them. I think this is the primary reason for bad odor. I know people that wear the same workout clothes for 3-4 workouts before they wash them. Bad!!!
Also If you really don't sweat in them consider following some of my suggested workouts to make sure you sweat :)
- there are some dri-fit t-shirts that retain bad odor even after a wash. These need to be washed using anti-bacterial washing powder/liquid or chuck em out (I would choose the latter option :)
- if you shower at the gym make sure you put on a fresh pair of socks after you've showered. Don't put those stinky ones back on.
Let's do our best to be less stinky at the gyms to make it better place to workout for all of us :) enjoy!!
