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?
* It shows you don't put yourself on a pedestal or take yourself way too seriously
* It's a top ice breaker with other members
* 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:
Are you able to pull off the statement you're carrying?
When it comes to workout humor we aren't aiming for self ridicule, after all. So who should be looking to make the most of this type of gear? Well, if you're already in good shape and want to poke a little fun at yourself then this is the perfect way to do it but it's just as important to avoid making yourself look silly and coming off as a jerk or arrogant.
This trend appears to grow in popularity almost by the month and in our gym it's now a regular fixture among hard training members.
Try adding one of these into your workout wardrobe. The positive effect it can have on your gym time, not to mention your lifestyle as it opens up new conversations with trainers you may never have spoken to otherwise, is most certainly worth it.
