When is your favorite time to hit the gym? Some guys are most motivated to get in a tough workout at the start or end of the day. But the most underrated option of all is the midday workout. Why?
Crowded gyms suck. Instead of just going ahead with your scheduled training plan, you have to figure out which machines are available and work around that. You have to deal with the other people at the gym - which is usually packed in the mornings and evenings. Those folks may get in your way, forget to put their weights back in place, or leave the machines less than clean. It’s all a big hassle that makes for a less than enjoyable trip to the gym.
Still not convinced? Stroll into your normally crowded gym at 1pm and soak in the difference. Very few people. No waiting for weights or machines. Just an enjoyable, efficient workout almost entirely to yourself. It’s the best way to get in your daily fitness routine.
There’s even more. If you skip out of the office to hit the gym on your lunch hour, you get a ton of benefits. That workout will boost your energy levels and help you make it through the afternoon lull without having to go totally overboard on your caffeine consumption.
There is one major downside, however. Because when you come back to the office, satisfied with your smart plan to workout at midday… you’re going to be stinky. And sweaty. And a bit gross.
What can you do about it? Plan ahead with these men’s grooming essentials that will help you go from post-gym funky to professionally put together in no time.
