I’ll be perfectly honest: I’m pretty gross and dirty right now. I missed my morning workout so I decided to workout during my lunch break. It’s not my favorite thing to do since I hate taking showers at the gym (with the exception of Spectrum Health Clubs showers where I learned to swim — they are so much cleaner and fancy than my regular Ballys). I did my best not to exercise too hard so I wouldn’t sweat profusely, but you have to generate a little sweat in order to make a workout count, right?
Worse than sitting at my desk all dirty from my workout is the fact that I’m still wearing my gym clothes — and I came to work in my gym clothes, too. Luckily, I don’t get in trouble for wearing sweats now and then but I’ve read a few articles recently about how what you wear to work affects your productivity and how people treat you, and they also reflect your personal brand. Currently, my personal brand is dirty and gross. Thankfully, I have no meetings or anything today in which I have to be taken seriously.
I know a lot of people probably workout and return to the office without rinsing off… they just don’t tell anyone.
