Planning a visit?

Was planning on a trip to Brazil, but Argentina might not be a bad layover.

Hmmm … Thought I was the only one who did this. 
Though few podiatrists would recommend it, it is apparently possible to do heavy squats in high heels and lingerie. At least on the Smith machine…

To be fair, I can’t even walk in high heels. I doubt attempting to lift or carry anything would be a great idea for me. 
I grew up wearing a jacket in the South during summers. Now I wear tank tops/shorts as long as it’s above -10°F or so. Almost never wear a jacket or a hoodie anymore. shrugs

I’ve had the opportunity to spend a bit of time in both, and far preferred Argentina. I highly recommend visiting if you can fit it.
There was a lady that would come straight from the “club” at which she worked to the LA Fitness in Portland when I was there. I think she was still wearing her work costumes. She was pretty jacked but wore so little it was honestly kinda awkward… like, am I rude for not tipping when she finishes a set?

Where do you live now?
I wonder if it’s something that she didn’t even thing twice about. Like she’s so used to being naked in front of people that it’s just a Tuesday for her. I bet it would be pretty nice to have that level of comfort in your own skin. I workout alone in my basement and won’t take my shirt off and lift in my bra if I’m dying of heat stroke.

For your consideration:
Slamming your weights, then staring belligerently around to make sure people notice the weight you were doing.
Doing heavy DB presses of any sort and then just letting them go from the top rope to then sit there and try and make eye contact in the mirror, once again drinking in any attention it brings.

Ha, I feel the same way in my living room, I think mostly because I’m facing the mirror now. When I worked out in the bedroom that holds my treadmill, I did it in just a sports bra, but the TM faces a window, so I felt less self-conscious. There are also shades in the bedroom, which I deployed when it was dark out, whereas the living room windows aren’t covered. People would have to make an effort to see in - like stop their cars and get out to get a good view inside - but it makes me feel too open to view nonetheless.
Aside from bathing suits, the headless photos I post here are probably the most daring thing I’ve ever done, body-exposure wise. When I was young and in crazy-good shape I was avoidant of unwanted attention (from men and women both), and I suppose the same holds true now, except the attention I fear now is more focused on that I might be horrifying someone.

I don’t wear shorts in public for a similar reason. Lol. But I think it’s more of a habitual thing. Like, if it’s summer and my husband is working in the yard and he’s all sweaty and gross he takes his shirt off and works that way. For the womenfolk that is not really an option (typically). So when I’m super hot and dying it never occurs to me to take my shirt off even if I’m alone because it’s not something that I typically do. That being said, the few times I’ve gone to a public gym I am far more self-conscious about my form and the low weights that I move than I am of my body. Lol. That’s one of the reasons I will probably never post a video of my lifts. I don’t need to people to see me having a stroke trying to bench 80 lbs.

Taking a page from @marine77 … its been at least a decade since ive been in a commercial. But…
I cringe when a group of broccoli heads would do any DB pressing and would purposely drop the DB’s as if it was a “ alpha status “ move.

You know what im talking about… this has nothing to do with safety concerns.

I know. I’m kidding.
I hate when people put their DBs down on the bench upholstery. Why do we have to ruin the equipment?

Yeah this gym already had some busted DB’s from when they had been dropped and hit just right and sheared the bolt holding them together.
These cheese dick monkeys were just dropping them for the hell of it.
