Having Trouble Working Out and Hiking with your Glasses

25 Apr

Nothing is more annoying, or damaging to your image as when you are pounding it out on the treadmill at the health club and that woman you’ve been trying to get to know, looks over and sees you sweating up a storm and pushing your glasses up your greasy nose. It’s just hard to project a confident image when your fidgeting with your eyeglasses. And then there is also the possibility of your glasses fogging up as you get the heart rate up, yeah, that looks good. What to do?

Go Without

Well the obvious option is to do without your glasses while you workout. Unless your as blind as a bat and can’t do without them, you should be able to navigate around the health club without too much trouble. But if you must have your glasses on, there are a few things you can check. Many people, without realizing it, have poorly fitting eyeglasses. For whatever reason, over time they just seem to lose that snugness. Check with your eye-care store and see if they can make a few adjustments to tighten up the old goggles. There are also bands that fit on your eyeglasses to keep them tight to your face. Another option is to buy a pair of eyeglasses that are lighter and more apt to adhere to your greasy face.

Contacts

There is another option. Although there are some people that cannot wear contacts, most can. If your having trouble working out with your eyeglasses on, well, get some contact lenses, you might be surprised how comfortable and worry-free they can be, especially when the sweat is cascading down your face. And most importantly, with contacts you won’t have to worry about looking like a nerd as you gaze upon all the beautiful people working out around you.
