HUGE pet peeve of mine. I can understand if you're just doing elliptical machines or running, but while you're lifting weights? It could easily get scratched up or lost or maybe even broken.

why do you care? its not your ring.

i don't work out with mine...then again, I don't even wear it every day.

Why subject your ring to abuse or loss? I lost my first ring at Ft. Benning while running on a dirt track. I took it off and put it in my fatigue pants pocket, but I didn't know there was a hole in the bottom! When I discovered it was gone, I went back and covered my route twice, but no luck. When I go to the gym from work, I put it inside my locked gym bag, and then lock it inside my gym locker. That's safer than leaving it inside your car in the parking lot where break ins are more common than inside locker rooms.

Never understood that either.

I don't wear my wedding ring or my Aggie ring very often but, when Mr. 96CH53 deployed in January, I decided I would wear my ring all the time, even while lifting weights.

Now my ring is even more bent than it was before.

It is dangerous and stupid to wear rings while lifting. You could get degloved.

ouch

That was disgusting.

Edited to say: I don't think I lift enough weight to have that happen, but maybe I'm wrong.

I don't wear my Aggie ring during any athletic activity. When I work out or play softball, my wedding rings goes on a chain that the wife got me the first Christmas after we got married (This was after I told her I don't wear rings during those types of activites).

No rings. My Aggie ring moves too much while running.

I wear mine at the gym, but take it off for pullups or any heavy pulling movement.
