Locker Room Time-Savers
If you use your lunch hour to work fitness into your work day, saving time in the locker room is a must. Here are some tips to try.
- If you can get away with it, wear a slip into an all-in-one sports top with built in bra so you don't have to hassle with layering.
Speak Up: Getting Naked in the Locker Room
I would say that the locker room became an emotionally loaded issue during junior high or high school. Getting naked with a bunch of strangers is definitely not an American pastime. Other cultures take steam baths in public regularly and topless sunbathing is common all over Europe.
Fit Tip: Don't Lose Your Lock
I used to forget my combination lock frequently when I went to the gym, and it drove me nuts. I'd have to either lug my bag around while I worked out or pay for one of the coin lockers. But, if you're frequently changing bags — maybe using a gym bag some days or just throwing your stuff into your purse another day — a lock is an easy thing to forget or, even worse, lose.

Sitting Naked in the Locker Room, Not So Pretty
Today when I was at the gym I was totally inspired for a post because I was in shock by what was happening in the womens' locker room.
I recently read something about this but didn't believe anyone actually did it until today at the gym, where I saw not one but TWO, naked female culprits. Here is the thing, don't sit on anything in the locker room (benches, chairs, etc.) if you're naked.
