Body odor is bad and can be distracting and disturbing to the people that are working out around you. Too much perfume, or any at all can be just as bad though. Personally, I find body odor (as long as it’s not too bad) to be less offensive to my nostrils while working out than a strong perfume.
Today I stopped by the gym on my way home from work to do some cardio. There was one machine available so I jumped on and started my workout. I noticed a very nice perfume and at first it didn’t bother me, but as I started to work out harder, and breath more rapidly, it got bad really quickly. The lady next to me had so much perfume on that even if i only breathed through my mouth, I could still smell it. Needless to say, I only stayed on that machine for a few minutes before I let the next sucker take it. All the other machines were full so I decided to give up, come home, and rant about it on my blog.
