In this video from ExerciseTV, personal trainer and fitness “it girl” Zen Gray walks you through a list of fitnes fashion faux-pas to be avoided – after all, the point of going to the gym is to work out, tone up and feel awesome about yourself!

Zen Gray’s Fitness Fashion No-No’s:

1. Legwarmers: while they may look cool (FAME nostalgia, anyone?), legwarmers may actually cause you great discomfort when burning calories at the gym. Please, ladies – save these for your dance classes or for the next Eighties revival.

2. Bling: Ditch the chunky bling and clanky metals when hitting the gym for a workout. Intricate and dangly jewelry can get caught on your clothes or towel, or even worse, the machinery you’re using for your workout. The best accessory for working out? A bottle of water – it’ll keep you cool, too.

3. Perfume: Remember Pepe Le Pew? You don’t want to smell like him when you work out. Spare yourself (and other gym-goers) the unpleasantness of scents gone wrong, and ditch your perfume when heading to your local fitness center. Instead, opt for a lightweight deodorant which will keep you dry and comfortable.

4. A Hole in One: Sweats or workout garments that have holes anywhere near the crotch are probably a bad idea, not to mention one awkward fashion statement. Leave these at home, folks!

5. Sweaty T: Heading to the gym? Leave your sweaty tee at home, or better yet – toss it! Look for lightweight cottons and “smart fabrics” meant for working out and breaking a sweat in.

6. Make Up Madness: If you’re going to the gym with the intent of doing more than watching, don’t paint on a perfect face before leaving the house! You’ll end up a drippy mess, not to mention nothing is sexy about clogged pores.

7. Too-Short Shorts: Shorts are a hot item and provide freedom of movement when working out, but please – if your shorts expose more bum than a buff bod, leave them at home. What works for Kylie on the dance floor was not necessarily meant to pump iron in.

Take the latest iPhone, for example. One day you don’t even know it exists, and the next day you’re burning with desire for one of your own.

There’s a lot to say about consumerism and consumer culture as we know it, but at the end of the day, this yearning to have pretty-pretty things is what ultimately pushes humanity to create stuff like the Mona Lisa, The Marriage of Figaro and mini golf. Today’s society, flooded by temptations, commercials and subliminal advertising, is starting to develop a natural immune system; we know what we want, but do we need it?

Well, I don’t know about you, but I need sexy shoulders. Illumistream have opened a world of possibilities for me. I never understood how important shoulders are, or how much I missed all these years, treating my shoulders as if they were mere ligament connectors.

I couldn’t be more wrong. According to the easy-to-follow fitness doctrine of this video, sexy shoulders can be mine without the need to buy expensive gym equipment. Yes, that’s no lie, folks! Get your perfectly sculptured shoulders with some easy exercise! Boys will want you, girls will want to be you (or the other way around)!

For the time being, I’m just watching, trying some special power-resting before I kick into fitness mode for some shoulder buffing. But you go ahead now, I’m right behind you.
