- Wash your hands properly before and after the workout. Use soap and warm running water, washing for at least 20 seconds and rinsing well afterward. Then dry with a clean towel or unused paper.
- Don’t touch your face in the gym to avoid exposure to any germs you come in contact with during the workout.
- Sanitize your hands if you can’t wash them. Rub your hands well and thoroughly and let them dry completely before doing anything.
- Make sure the equipment you’re using is clean. Even if the gym is cleaning and sanitizing assiduously, you should still use a spray or a wipe to clean them on your own.
- Shower as soon as possible after your workout. As soon as you reach home, toss your gym clothes in the washer and hop in the shower. Avoid resting on the sofa in your gym clothes or before you are showered and clean.
- Never share personal care items like towels, water bottles, brushes, make-up, or soaps with other people in the gym.
The Bottom Line
Follow good hygiene habits and take care of yourself to stay healthy at your gym. Remember that you should avoid the gym if you’re worried the current situation still isn’t safe enough yet.
