Health alert - beware of Gym

Gym equipment dirtier than toilet seat

Women health magazine has published a report on the experiments done in gyms.
The experts had examined bacterial samples taken from 27 common pieces of workout equipment at large chains around the country.

According to the report, our sweat accessories are actually way have more germs  than some of the gross surfaces we come into contact with everyday.
1.       An exercise bike has 39 times more bacteria than a plastic cafeteria tray and the treadmill has 79 times more bacteria than a water faucet.
2.       Your favorite 15-pounders for bicep curls,  had 362 times  more bacteria than a toilet seat.
3.      So why are weights so important ? Most of us are fairly good at wiping down cardi machines before and after we use them. But there are  chances for  you probably aren’t as diligent about bringing those antibacterial wipes around with you while doing a weights circuit.

4.       Since it’s not possible to keep watch on who’s wiping down what at the gym, avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth until you can hit the showers. Because you really don't want to contract any diseases
