Seriously, It’s Okay To Wear A Gym Vest Guys

Clothing

Many things have been said about women feeling pressure to comply with unrealistic expectations of what their bodies should look like. With the help of the Kardashians, to name a few, women can feel a growing burden on what size their ‘booty’ is or whether or not their waist is pinned in like something out of a Barbie doll box.

But, what about us men?

Yes, us! We grew up playing with Action Man, Hee-Man and Superman. These guys are the epitome of unrealistic body goals, with a tiny waist and unproportioned chest and shoulders. These expectations can often be carried into the health and fitness arena where bigger is better. This idea amongst many men affects their decision making, which gym to go to, what exercises to do and even whether or not I can get away with wearing this gym vest!

However, if your goal is to be happy, healthy and to strive for good overall wellbeing then seriously, it’s ok to wear a gym vest! Your fitness journey is unique, it’s yours, you may feel like you’re doing the same as everyone else, but your goal has been set by you (if you haven’t set one then set it now!).

BIG-UP THE GYM

Big is not always beautiful, with your newly acquired gym goal you are now working towards a potentially different goal to that muscle-bound guy grunting in the corner throwing weights around like an angry gorilla. So, do you really want to look like that meat-head? Or is it better just to be comfortable in whatever you choose to wear such as that super-comfy vest which doesn’t show your sweat marks?

THE VEST

Due to complex reasons (Instagram, YouTube, you know the sort) going to the gym has changed forever, it’s a social and dating arena, not just a place to burn some calories. As a result, what you wear to the gym has also changed forever, what you wear is not just for performance and trying to have the best session you can have, it’s all about the yoga pants, the racer tee, the joggers, the air cushioned trainers and yes, the trademark vest!

Let’s get this straight, wearing a gym vest is sensible, it’s a no-brainer, they are perfect for workouts, being sleeveless they are great for a range of motion, movement and perspiration. This simple garment can be your ally on your heavy workout days or during a face paced circuit. Trust me; if you have just completed a lung-busting HIIT session you’re wishing you had a vest on right now if nothing else!

However, before you put ‘any old’ vest into your online basket next to your post-workout protein, there are certain aspects you need to know to help make your vest decision your best decision.

Body Type

Thankfully we don’t all look the same, and even if we share similar fitness goals our journey getting there will be different due to our unique body types. Looking your best in a vest will boil down to the body type ‘ya mamma gave ya’! With this in mind, you need to choose a vest that emphasises your attributes and hides those that are less flattering.

Vests are not complicated, but, for example, a vest with block colours, horizontal stripes or lines can make even Mo Farah look like he is going through a bulking phase! So choose what you want to show and what to hide.

Too Tight

A tight top has been a firm favourite for many across Britain’s gyms. However, they are only swallowing the muscle, or lack of it as you try and work out, making it very restricting and stifling. Even Superman’s tight blue suit looks rather uncomfortable if you ask me; although I bet he trains in a vest to get to his size.

Too tight is too much, yet too loose is not a good fit, quite literally. Pick a vest that hugs your body fits nicely and allows the full range of movements. Don’t forget your working out to look good naked (mostly), not to get tangled up in all the gym equipment!

Manscape

Manscaping, yes I just said it, may need to go hand in hand with your choice of vest. As I stated, earlier the gym is no longer just a gym. This is a potential pick up point and place to meet others and ‘network’ if that’s what kids are calling it these days.

So in that regard, it may be worth keeping grooming schedule in check, same for you ladies! By definition, vests show off more skin than other gym gear, so basic grooming rules should be followed, yes even in your local gym.

Trimming body hair is a sensitive area, see what I did there? I agree, it’s not for everyone, and it is most certainly down to personal preference. Just follow the rule that if a body part is going to be shown to a new audience due to your vest of choice, that you are happy with it.

YDY

The title of this article says it all, seriously it’s okay to wear a gym mens stringer vest. And I mean it, choosing to hit the gym and work towards some health and fitness goals is great. Your overall health and wellbeing will certainly thank you for it, and you never know you may even enjoy the journey!

If you’re hitting the gym regularly, up to three or four times a week, smashing your personal records and feeling better for it, then a gym vest (or two) will be with you every step of the way. At the end of the day, YDY, You Do You! Yes, I made that up, get it trending people!

Express yourself, mix up your gym vests, wear thick or thin straps, show some back, show some front, show whatever and focus on what you set out to achieve, a better, healthier body. The best gym vest you own will be the one you feel comfortable in, put it on and get to work!

animal print rug

Average Animal Print Rug Prices per Square Foot

Shopping

The average animal print rug price per square foot starts at about $0.81 for a plush polyester fiber that’s been treated with a stain resistant formulation, while authentic Stainmaster animal print rug prices can go up as high as $2.44 or more for a nylon frieze, and over $3 for the Tactesse line (and this will not include the animal print rug pad or foam underlay you’ll also require). To help you choose which is the best flooring solution for your particular needs, here is a detailed outline of animal print rug types and manufacturers with the average animal print rug prices you can expect to pay per square foot and square yard.

Stainmaster Animal print rug Prices

It’s not the cheapest choice, but in many circles it’s considered one of the best options. However, when you start to price animal print rugs, you’ll find that the same company offers many different levels of quality and styles for different budgets, and that’s true of Stainmaster. About the cheapest Stainmaster animal print rug prices you’ll find will be those offered by places like Owen, where they have nylon frieze in all the popular neutral colors for about $2.44 per square foot, in other words, just under $22 per square yard.

This price quote, of around $22 per square yard, also includes the famous Stainmaster Tactesse collection as well.

What is Tactesse? It’s a animal print rug that uses two-ply twisted yarn in what is called barber pole, which means it twists two different colors together, to allow for a subtle blend of color that appears evenly distributed throughout the animal print rug.

animal print rug

Depending on how the fibers are twisted, and what colors are mixed, the effect can be very subtle or more dramatic. In the Tactesse collection, you can choose from 25 different colors, all blended perfectly to give a rich designer quality look to your floor.

However there is also another Tactesse line that’s part of the Soft Luxury collection that’s a little more expensive. Although also a twisted nylon fiber, it’s even richer and plusher underfoot. This is one of the top collections that offers you a choice of 20 colors, many are modern and vibrant, with the well-known Stainmaster Xtra Life warranty, which if you aren’t aware is a 10 year quality guarantee that it will retain its texture and will not soil. That line costs just over $3 per square foot (or almost $28 a square yard), and comes in up to 12 foot widths, especially good when pricing wall to wall animal print ruging solutions.

Just as a help to choosing the brand names, which can be confusing, here are some of the collections that are Stainmaster quality and fall within the average $2.44 to$3.11 animal print rug price range:

  1. Irresistible
  2. Dream World
  3. Artist’s View
  4. Fresh Perspectives
  5. Ride the Wind
  6. Soft Luxury

Within these categories you’ll find tweed, frieze, the Tactesse collections, as well as twisted and textured variations.

Looking Specifically For Berber Animal print rug Prices?

If you’re looking for berber animal print ruging, then you probably already know that this is a looped design that is usually chosen for high traffic areas or commercial spaces, and often has a versatile multi-tone coloring that doesn’t show wear or dirt as easily as some other choices. Berber was exclusively wool at one time, and therefore high quality but quite expensive, however with technology have come some more affordable options.

There are now some good alternatives that offer a choice of cut and uncut loops, and even combinations that give the animal print rug a textured look and are crafted more affordably using high-end nylon fibers.

The Off Broadway Stainmaster collection that has the 10 year warranty, as well as a 7 year stain and soil resistance assurance, and a lifetime antistatic guarantee, and also retains its color, and is protected by the Dupont Teflon patented soil and liquid repelling system, costs just $2.60 per square foot (about $23.40 per sq. yard), and is available a little cheaper if bought by the roll. Choose from over 30 colors!

What Should I Pack In My Hospital Bag?

Clothing

Some time in your third trimester you’ll be wondering “What should I pack in my hospital bag?”. It’s a pretty standard list of things really but the earlier you get it done the better. You don’t want to be going into labour and scrabbling around to find your various bits and bobs! Imagine the stress if you have to yell at your partner between contractions to find the organic cotton babygrow and your PJs and put them in your hospital bag. Not a good start to your labour.

So here’s what I think you need in …

babygrows
babygrows

Your Labour Hospital Bag

  • Your Maternity Notes – Whatever else you do, don’t forget these!
  • Birth Plan – If you have a birth plan then take it with you.
  • Tens Machine – If you have one then don’t forget it. You’d be surprised how many women leave it at home.
  • Dressing Gown – Lightweight and organic cotton so nice and cool. Hospitals are always too warm.
  • Hair Bobble – Keep your hair out of your eyes and off your face
  • A Water Bottle – Sports top bottle or a straw
  • Some Snacks – Even if you don’t want them your partner will.
  • Old Nightie or T-Shirt – Highly likely it’ll get messy so don’t buy anything new.
  • Lip Balm
  • Slippers – For pacing the corridors trying to speed up labour, Some women cope better with pain walking around rather than lying on a bed.

Pop a smaller bag inside your hospital bag with things you need once the baby is born.

After the Birth Bag

  • Old Knickers – cheap and cheerful or old big knickers. Don’t pack your best skimpy lacy knickers or your favourite organic cotton ones. The more ‘Bridget Jones’ your pants are, the better.
  • Your Toiletries
  • Maternity Pads – You’ll need lots. The old-fashioned big sanitary towels are good too.
  • Nursing Bra – Organic Cotton ones are best
  • Breast Pads – I like the bamboo ones.
  • Babygrows – Organic cotton sleepsuit baby are best for a newborn baby’s skin.
  • Baby Blanket – A bamboo swaddled baby blanket or an organic cotton muslin swaddle blanket
  • Nappies – Lots of them!
  • Clothes to go Home – Something loose and comfy. You may have a Caesarean scar and even if you don’t, that tummy of yours won’t go down for a little while!

It’s probably being a bit optimistic but I’d pop a book in the bag too. You never know, you may have a bit of time to relax and read after your baby is born.. Having said that when mine were asleep in hospital I was either sleeping myself or staring at my new little bundle.
