Hi. my name is Sean, and I loofa

At the start of Christmas break I joined Superior Athletic Club. I've been very diligent in going there; almost 5 times a week since school started back up. In that time I've witnessed a wide variety of people who all seem to fall into several different categories. Despite this, everyone seems to follow the same routine when it comes time to hit the locker room.

After a good workout ones body is covered in sweat and oils. This would lead you to think that people would bust out their best to cleanse themselves afterwards. Wrong. I go into the locker room and I must say I'm incredibly disappointed with the lack of good cleansing products I see in there. Almost every person I've seen has been content using the cheap liquid soap to wash their hair, clean their face, and wash their body. I find this slightly outrageous and borderline gross.

I'm not here to bash on others though. I actually thought it better to suggest my own routine as an example. My toiletry bag carries several basic necessities that I feel should be in every man's gym bag. You start off with a good shampoo and conditioner. I prefer Burts Bees Shampoo. A good facial cleanser and toner are also a good idea. Lastly, a pleasantly scented body wash is a great way to prepare yourself to go back into the world. And whether it is soap or body wash, it's always easier to scrub while using a loofa. This may sound "sissy" or "feminine" to some, but I don't really care what others think. I'm acting on function not opinion. It's not that tough or painstakingly long of a process, but using good products after working out can be vital in maintaining a healthy appearance.

Hopefully I can lead by example.
