Working Out Naked
Has Its Benefits –
can you name 3?
Working out naked, huh? The
Ancient Greeks and Romans
did it, so why shouldn't we?
Several months ago a story of
naked men doing CrossFit
began to circulate the
internet. It began in Aarhus,
Denmark, when the owner of
the Danish gym ‘Spartan
Mentality’ Steffen Haldrup
Andersen, decided to pull an
April Fools joke with an ad
featuring some ripped,
muscular dudes throwing down
a few CrossFit Workouts of the
Day. CrossFit movements and
exercises which included rope
climbing, wall ball shots and
some weight lifting, most that
are arguably uncomfortable to
do in the buff – well at least
the rope climbs!
Andersen’s attitude was that
people only wear the briefest
of clothing when they come to
do CrossFit at the gym anyway,
so why bother with wearing
anything at all. The ad upon
going viral online resulted in a
mad rush of requests from men
in the surrounding areas who
wanted to exercise naked. So,
with more thought given,
Sunday evening classes
started…
Unfortunately, for those men
that were keen to
WOD (Workout of the Day) in
their “birthday suits”, the
naked training sessions were
soon abandoned, mostly due to
overwhelming media pressure.
The 4 benefits
of working out,
living free and
naked
You ever wonder what the
etymology of the word
“gymnasium”?
Greeks used to exercise nude
all the time, hence creating
the Greek word gymnos which
means “naked”.
As soon as you get home from
work, the first thing you want
to do is strip and change into
loose casual clothing. However,
you probably weren't aware,
there's actually health benefits
attached to being naked,
especially during the hot
summer months.
1. Feel Good Benefit: Think
about it, we lather ourselves
with sunscreen when out in
the sun for any length of
time, terrified of what may
happen to our skin if we
don’t. According to a
Mumbai dermatologist, Dr.
Satish Bhatia, you should
allow yourself time in the
nude in the early morning
for ten to fifteen minutes for
your skin to absorb the sun
rays. This aids in producing
Vitamin D and it also acts as
a fantastic mood booster.
2. Cleansing Benefit: The
human skin needs air to
breathe and by covering up
in tight, restricted clothing,
you're actually weakening
your skin by way of
reabsorbing the toxins that
are released from your body
through sweat. So being
naked allows your body to
release those toxins that
would otherwise be shielded
by our tight skinny jeans
and baby-gap sized t-shirts.
Hmmm… where do I sign
up?
3. Economic Benefit: Also, did
you realize that the Global
economy would have a
surplus
of $1,200,000,000,000 if we
decided globally to live
naked? I wonder the effect
this would have on the
world both from an
economic standpoint, but
also, do you think wars
would be fought the same
way?
4. Longevity Benefit: (just
joking) Have you noticed
that the furry Norway Rat
only lives 2-3 years, while
the Naked Mole Rat survives
to be 28 ?

naked might just
