Also, don’t wear underwear to go to the gym. But why is Cristiano Ronaldo wearing his undies while working out, you ask? Because he can afford to have his own private gym, that’s why.

Sure, if you are working out at home or if you have your own personal gym, you can wear undies while lifting weights or whatever workout routines you do. But don’t ever, ever wear underwear while working out in a public gym. This applies to any kind of underwear — even the underwear-as-outerwear kind that some guys want to wear.
