Should you work out naked??? Let's take a look (not literally!)

closest I could find that was decent!!

HMHB loves to find stories around mindset, exercise, nutrition, health and routine - and some of them can make you frown, giggle, even get angry. Some may even be ground breaking. But I wonder what you make of this one, published last year in national newspapers. HMHB will make their own comment at the end of the posting.

We all know we need to exercise, and there are many "fads" out there, but the latest one may come as a a shock. Apparently, "naked exercise is better for people than working up a sweat in designer gym gear" - says a 'fitness expert',

A Personal Trainer called Keith McNiven, a former wrestling champion, has announced to the media that stripping off boosts body image and makes it easier to see the benefits of working out. He also says it allows the skin to breathe and makes the body more flexible than when in gym gear. He says: "working out in the nude can bring a myriad of physical and psychological benefits. So if you are brave enough, why not give it a go?"

It may seem unlikely, but it is a growing trend that has seen classes springing up around the world, with a celebrity gym in New York and West London's NKD Training among those leading the way.

Keith continued: "we are bombarded with new and innovative types of clothing from a host of different stores. Without the restriction of workout clothes as you exercise, your body is likely to be a little bit more flexible, allowing you to truly maximize your workouts."

What doe we think at HMHB?  Well, of course we actively promote exercise, movement, flexibility - whatever your age or capability there will be something you can do. In the nude?? It's definitely not for everyone, that is for certain. But anything that is going to encourage you to improve your fitness and energy levels is great. Find something you enjoy. Find a group to work alongside too - that is terrific for accountability, as well as encouragement. Have fun everyone!!
