I occasionally  shower in the morning so that&#39;s when I shower before exercise.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Margret Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">No. Why get clean and then need another shower after you work out?

If I&#39;m working night shift, then after, and I usually work night shift. If I work the morning shift, have taken a shower, and there&#39;s still some time before work, I might slip in the exercise then.<br \/>\nIn general, floors are gross and exercising is a sweaty process, so showers are better left for after the sweating.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Regina P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Why on earth would anyone\u2019s get clean just to get sweaty again.

Also, the natural bacteria on our skin feeds on sweat which is what makes us smell bad. So theoretically you should shower after exercise to remove the sweat and bacteria. Additionally, if you dont shower (or at least put on clean clothes) after exercise you can cause acne all over your body, especially on the back. So it would be better for you to shower afterwards \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sara E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">No, I don\u2019t, i find it hard to exercise and I feel hot and sweaty when I get back from my run, so better to remove barriers before I exercise and have a shower afterwards instead.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Armando Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Not normally.
