clothing-free workout session

**voivod** · 03.05.07, 09:41 AM

The first clothing-free workout session at a Dutch gym went ahead as planned in Heteren, eastern Netherlands, Sunday March 4, 2007, and participants and observers said it met expectations. Around a dozen middle-aged and elderly men braved the glare of nearly twice that number of journalists, including reporters, photographers and at least five television teams, to fulfill their dream of exercising naked. 'There are things that you like to do, and for a nudist, it just feels better to do them with your clothes off,' said Ron van der Putten, left, who drove for more than an hour to take part in the first session, dubbed 'Nudifit'. 'You feel more free.' (AP Photo/Peter Dejong)

I'm certain this went over well when he used the McDonald's drive-thru.

Not to mention the untold joys of possibly stepping on one's crank while using the "stairmaster".

What the hell would persuade someone to join a gym where people workout naked? No way would I want to use a machine after someones sweaty rear or other body parts have been on it. Ick.

I feel sorry for the guy that needs a spotter on the bench press.

watching people do squats at that gym can't be all that pleasant either!!!

Thanks! I've just started my diet, and looking at this pic, along with the vivd descriptions supplied by my fellow Linkers, has helped curb my urge to consume anything what so ever.....

It'd be OK if it were done in the privacy of one's own home...and with a towel under one's hiney.

I wonder how annoying it would be to run in place, bouncing all over...swinging all over.
