One of the biggest laugh out loud moments in our gym came when we saw a member stroll in with the phrase 'You gotta burn it, to earn it!' emblazoned across their chest which brings us to today's quick post. Today we look at the role the funny gym t shirt has taken in the last year or so.
According to Google this is a search ever increasing in popularity and it has certainly shown no signs of slowing down over the last six months.
Whether it's sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek fun or deadly serious these simple training accessories can impact not just your workouts but your life, too. Below are the positives:
* There's a lot to be said for someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously, after all
* It's a top ice breaker with other members
* 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 actually back it up?
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.
The concept has really caught on in fitness circles and in our gym it's now almost an everyday occurrence when a member strolls into the fitness center reception area wearing the most ridiculous workout statement of the day proudly emblazoned on their top. Whether it's sarcasm or not, it works.
So before you push yourself in your next workout consider looking up what's available out there and see if you can add a smile not just to your face but all those around you.
