" If you&amp;#039;re the kind of gym-goer that prefers milling about in your gym kit for a full day, but never actually making it onto the treadmill, then you might want to listen up. There&amp;#039;s no judgement here; well-made\u00A0gym leggings are flattering. The hold you in and, teamed with the right pair of trainers, allow you to give off the (entirely false) image that you&amp;#039;re one of those lucky people who enjoys exercise. But I&amp;#039;m about to come and piss on your parade, unfortunately. Because apparently we&amp;#039;re being warned against wearing our gym leggings when we&amp;#039;re not\u00A0actually working out.\u00A0According to medical experts, donning our\u00A0exercise gear for longer than the\u00A0time we spend\u00A0exercising can cause\u00A0a bunch\u00A0of dermatological problems. Which isn&amp;#039;t exactly ideal.           If only hatin burned calories how dope yall would be. Too bad it doesn&amp;#039;t. Here&amp;#039;s the OG shot. The petty movement ain&amp;#039;t cute. Oh and I almost forgot....

Like\u00A0folliculitis, for example, which is when your\u00A0hair follicles become blocked and then inflamed. Apparently in women, it&amp;#039;s common on the upper back (thanks to\u00A0sports bras), but you can also get it on your bum if you&amp;#039;re a particular fan of spinning or general cycling. Joy of joys. But you&amp;#039;d be getting off lightly if you just got a touch of folliculitis, because apparently gym leggings can also cause yeast infections. Mmmm.           Good for abs...

And according to Eidelman, you&amp;#039;ve got a higher chance of this if you&amp;#039;re\u00A0is\u00A0on\u00A0antibiotics for the likes of\u00A0acne. And nobody wants that when they&amp;#039;re trying to do a good deed by exercising, do they? Luckily,\u00A0Dr\u00A0Eidelman has a way around it; he recommends hunting down\u00A0moisture-wicking gym gear (Sweaty Betty does some good stuff, as does Nike), and making sure you\u00A0shower\u00A0and changing\u00A0shortly after exercising.
