showering twice a day?

[davidg]

I shower 3 times when I commute and then go to the gym....

I shower 3 times a day. When i get to work, after my lunchtime gym session and when i get home in the evening. I've never even worried about lack of natural oils in my skin, but was once mortified when at the gym (and wearing clean kit), i was accused by a camp gym bully of having BO, 2 hours after my last shower. It's amazing how much that gym reminds me of a school playground.

Yup. I was a bit taken aback. The guy pretty much lives there and takes over the freeweights and benches with his entourage. I think he felt threatened and was upset that anyone else could use his gym. It's a weird weird place and not like any other gym i've used. Once i did a run there next to David Walliams, but that time i actually had dirty kit, so if there is a new series of little brittain with a smelly gym guy, then i was the inspiration.

A mate of mine used to commute from Hebden Bridge to Padiham (near Burnley) by bike. It is about 16 miles each way. If he did it every day, he was so tired by the end of the week that he didn't really want to do long rides at the weekends any more. He was standing up most of the day at work, mind, so that didn't help.

I reckon a 40 miles a day commute on a Brompton is going to be a very hard thing to keep up, especially considering that it will involve significant climbing and busy roads. Is that going to be a full 5 days a week Shaun?

yep 5 days most weeks except if i'm on nights at my placements. but it's to salford and back so not that much climbing compared to what i have been doing. (especially up your end). i won't be riding at weekends tho. see there was method in my madness doing those hills nearly everyday. plus method in my madness using a brompton, buses are every 10 minutes on the route. there are showers where i am going and somewhere to dry clothes. hopefully i will be able to cope. i reckon i'll be under 15 stones by end of april (4lbs a week).

hi all,

do any of you guys shower when you get to work and when you get back home? if so, are there any side effects?

Yes. I shower at work and then when I get home. Shower 3 times a day when I play lunchtime footie with the lads.

No discernible side-effects...other than getting fitter, that is.

I think it's pretty clear that guys can, and do, shower multiple times with no ill effects. The dire warnings are emanating from the female camp, they obviously want company in their stinkiness!

A few gay men are just beetches! I hope you managed to ignore the comment and carry on regardless.

I had lunch with a friend early last year and I was telling him how self conscious I feel as I'd put some weight on which I hated. The wildly camp gay sitting on the table next to me waited until I'd stood up to go to the toilet and then shouted in a loud voice "Oh my God, look how fat you are!". But it had the opposite effect as I wasn't fat, I was just feeling "chunky" and it sort of put it in perspective that I shouldn't over react. So, I just started cycling and gym visits and the weight went. But I still wonder why his choice of personal entertainment had to be so vicious.

In your case it was obviously said to intimidate you into not wanting to go there again, as you rightly pointed out.
