Many women have a cherished piece of jewelry they rarely remove—a wedding ring, bracelet, or special necklace. But do you keep it on during workouts?
Why It's Best to Remove Jewelry Before Exercising
Jewelry can pose real risks during physical activity. It might snag on equipment or gear, pinching skin or even causing cuts. The hazards depend on the sport: kickboxing with a ring is a bad idea, as it could lead to injury. In strength training, rings reduce grip and risk harming yourself or others.
Next time, leave your wedding ring safely at home before your workout.
