To Plunge or Not to Take the Plunge?

Every so often along comes a fade and everyone joins in.

 This has got to be one of the most serious new fades with the most serious consequences that I have seen in all my years of working out. I am not a doctor or therapist, nor do I pretend to be, however, I do use my brain when it comes to following the leader. An old parent favorite saying, "if your friends all jumped off a bridge without looking are you going to also?" That is the question when you talk about cold plunge. First of all, the average fitness enthusiast would never need that type of recover. The damage caused by doing ice baths could cause more harm than good. 

Please read what experts say about an ice plunge and protect yourself from any danger.

Good Gym Etiquette

What is Good Gym Etiquette?

First off,
I hate to use the phrase "Use common-sense." 

it is greatly overused in our speaking today. Common sense is not as common as it should be anymore. I'm using it here with some risk but please try and apply some in your thinking and see if what you feel is listed.

 Sportswriter, Anthony J. Yeung, has posted thirteen things

 to avoid while in the any gym. I have read all of them and this one sticks out more than all of them. 

Here's my list of what is important to me right now. 

1.

 Don't use a mat or bench without cleaning it before and after used. Dirty stretching mats and exercise benches sometimes contain viruses, bacteria, and fungi. If your cut or scrape touches these germ-infested surfaces.

2.
 Don't give unsolicited advice or start a chatty conversation with someone busy.
Avoid giving unsolicited advice in the gym for two reasons. 

      They will tend to act defensive and reject your criticism. 

     Your advice could be wrong.

Unless their technique is threatening themselves and/or others, avoid giving advice.

 If you really want to help, however, become their friend first.

3.
 Don't shower without flip-flops

I used to work at a fancy gym where, at least once a month, someone would defecate in the shower. (No joke.)
This really does happen—as well as many other disgusting things—and you must protect yourself from the bacteria present in shower stalls, regardless of your gym’s sanitation standards. If you shower at the gym, buy some cheap sandals and keep them in your gym bag.
