Can you wear jewellery whilst working out?
Jewellery is a great way to add some sparkle and personal style to your workout attire. However, when it comes to exercise, it's important to remove your jewellery before you hit the gym or go for a run. We’re going to discuss why it's important to remove jewellery before exercise and the potential risks associated with wearing it during physical activity.
Risk of Injuries
One of the biggest reasons why it's important to remove jewellery before exercise is to reduce the risk of injuries. When you wear jewellery during physical activity, it can get caught on equipment or your clothing. This can cause serious injuries such as cuts, bruises, or even fractures. For example, a necklace can get tangled in your hair or clothing during a workout, and a ring can get caught on a weight machine, leading to an injury. Therefore, it's essential to remove all jewellery before exercise to avoid any risk of injury.
Skin Irritation
Another reason why you should remove jewellery before exercise is to prevent skin irritation. During physical activity, your body produces sweat, which can get trapped between your skin and the jewellery. This can cause skin irritation or even an allergic reaction, especially if you're wearing jewellery made of metals that are not hypoallergenic. It's essential to keep your skin dry and clean during exercise to avoid any skin irritation, so removing your jewellery is a good idea.
Jewellery Damage
Jewellery is not designed to withstand the stress and impact of physical activity. Wearing jewellery during exercise can cause damage to the jewellery itself, such as scratches, dents, or even breakage. Additionally, if you wear precious jewellery during exercise, it can get damaged or lost, which can be costly to repair or replace.
Distraction
Jewellery can be distracting during exercise, especially if it's loose or gets tangled. This can affect your concentration and focus during the workout, which can increase the risk of injury or reduce the effectiveness of the exercise. Jewellery can also be a distraction to others in the gym or exercise class, as it may create unnecessary noise or movements.
