STAYING FRESH AFTER A WORKOUT

No one wants to ride a crowded bus or run an errand post-gym and worry if others can smell the sweaty stink of a good workout.  Whether you’re getting in your car after the gym or meeting friends following a long run, here are a few suggestions to make your workout experience and post-fitness routine a little more refreshing:

Hose Yourself Down

While even the buffest may be uncomfortable to shower in public stalls, a quick rinse is the best bet for immediate odor relief.  Leave an extra pair of flip flops in your gym locker to avoid germs, or if time permits, take a quick shower at home.

Clean Out Your Gear Bag

According to a recent Febreze survey on Mapmyfitness.com, 65% of members responded that they could use Febreze SPORT products to rid of sweat odors in their gym bags. Select products in the Febreze SPORT collection features a specially-formulated X-Sweat Technology to seek out tough sweat odors and neutralize them at the source.  If gym bags aren’t enough of a breeding ground for stink, 88% responded that they would use Febreze SPORT on shoes and socks.  Be sure to empty out your gym bag of stinky gear, apparel and shoes, and if you’re unable to wash certain items, give a quick spritz of Febreze SPORT Workout Odor Eliminator for ultimate freshness.

Stock Up

Keep an extra set of toiletries nearby – in your locker or equipment bags.  Face wash, soap, and deodorant are some key items to always have on hand to stay fresh after your work out.  If your workout takes you on the road, or more likely on a winding trail, be sure to check out your local grocery store for travel-size items that can be stashed in small running gear.
