I Train Naked - Like Full Monty Naked - The Joy of Wearing Nothing

Welcome, fitness enthusiasts, to the wild world of training naked. That's right folks I

train naked. I've been proudly training in the nude for years and let me tell you, the sense of liberation it offers is unparalleled. I love the freedom that it brings.


Picture this: no restriction, no constriction—just the pure, unadulterated freedom of movement. When you ditch the conventional workout attire, it's like breaking free from the shackles that confine you during those intense sweat sessions. Every mile, kilometer, meter, and pedal stroke becomes a symphony of unrestricted motion, allowing your body to move in its most natural state.



But oh, I am not the only one. Far from it. This is a trend that's sweeping the nation faster than you can say, "sweat in unexpected places." Now, before you start picturing a nudist marathon, let me clarify that we're talking about endurance training sans electronic devices. Yes, it's time to strip away the gadgets and embrace the liberating experience of running, cycling, or whatever your fitness fancy, in the purest form possible.


First things first, let's discuss the Relative Perceived Effort (RPE) scale—the OG of self-assessment in the fitness realm. Traditionally, it's a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being a stroll in the park, and 10 being an all-out, "I might collapse any second now" effort. But here's the twist: what if we took this scale and applied it to the unique world of training naked sans any device?


Level 1: The Stroll of Shame

Picture this: You, casually strolling around the neighborhood in your birthday suit, zero gadgets in sight. That's the epitome of a Level 1 workout on the RPE scale. The effort is so minimal; that you might as well be sipping a latte while you walk.


Level 2: The Naked Amble

Slightly more purposeful than the Bare Stroll, the Naked Amble represents Level 2 on the RPE scale. It's a gentle stride, a step beyond mere strolling, signaling a hint of intention in your uncovered journey.


Level 3: The Buffed Saunter

Gradually picking up the pace, the Buffed Saunter at Level 3 introduces a more deliberate movement. Picture yourself confidently striding along, embracing the freedom of your unencumbered workout.


Level 4: The Stripped Power Walk

Elevating the intensity, the Stripped Power Walk at Level 4 adds a brisk element to your uncovered exercise. It's a purposeful walk that begins to engage your muscles more actively.


Level 5: The Nonchalant Jog

As you pick up the pace, you enter the Nonchalant Jog zone. It's the sweet spot between "I'm just out for a leisurely jog" and "Am I actually working out?" Bonus points if you manage to maintain a conversation with your neighbor without any awkward stares.


Level 6: The Barefoot Gallop

Stepping into Level 6, the Barefoot Gallop introduces a playful bounce to your stride. It's a dynamic movement that heightens the sense of freedom, showcasing the joyous side of naked training.


Level 7: The Unveiled Pace

Reaching Level 7, the Unveiled Pace is a more purposeful run, demonstrating a commitment to your unclad workout. It's a stride that conveys determination while embracing the liberating experience.


Level 8: The Naked Sprint

Now, things are heating up. The Naked Sprint is the RPE Level 8—full-speed ahead, feeling the wind in places you never thought possible. It's an exhilarating experience that combines the thrill of speed with the freedom of, well, minimal stuff.


Level 9: The Exposed Dash

Taking it up a notch, Level 9 introduces the Exposed Dash—a sprint that pushes your limits further. It's a daring burst of speed that combines intensity with the unbridled exhilaration of naked training.


Level 10: The Full Monty Marathon

Congratulations, you've reached the pinnacle of training naked—the Full Monty Marathon. This is where RPE hits a solid 10, and you're pushing your limits while embracing the art of endurance in its purest form. Just be sure to have some strategically placed sweatbands.


In conclusion, whether you're training naked or sticking to the good ol' tech-filled routines, the key is to find joy in the journey. Embrace the freedom of movement, laugh at the absurdity of it all, and remember that fitness is not just about the destination—it's about the hilarious, sweaty, and sometimes downright silly journey. Now, go forth, my fellow fitness enthusiasts, and may your workouts be as liberating as they are entertaining. So, do you train naked? Let us know.
