Do you run outside with your ring?

Hi ladies!

So this is a weird question, do you wear your ring when you exercise outside? I go running a lot and I was just thinking if someone were to try to stop me and try to take my ring haha. I live in a pretty safe place but still, you never know what can happen. I have insurance on my ring to get it replaced no matter what happens to it but I just wanted to know what you guys do or if this has ever crossed your mind!

    I absolutely never wear my ring when doing any type of exercise. I don't want to worry about it falling off, or being damaged, or hurting myself. I also take it off whenever I cook, clean, shower, and sleep as these can also cause damage to the ring.

    When I run, it's usually with FH and my dog, and if not, it's my dog and mace. It's sad that it's not safe for a woman to run alone! I don't take my ring off when I run but I do for strength training. I plan on getting a QALO before I go to basic training this summer!

    I usually never wear mine to workout. My fingers swell sometimes while working out which is thr main reason

    I wear mine all the time. The only time I take it off is to shower, and that's just because I hate scrubbing the soap and shampoo/conditioner buildup gunk out of the setting that accumulates.

    I actually do just about everything with my ring on except lifting free weights, dead lifting, and squatting. I have a silicone ring I wear for that, otherwise I keep my e-ring on. Though mine is platinum, so it is super sturdy and strong, and if it gets scratched it is quick to have the jeweler buff it out.

    When I'm on public transportation or somewhere I'm worried someone might notice it or try to steal it or something I flip it around so I'm basically holding the diamond, and then it just looks like a platinum band!

    I take my ring off when I run outside. Just a habit.

    Normally leave it at home if I'm going to exercise, just gets in the way and I don't want it to be scratched up at the gym. Don't live in a safe town so I don't take it to the park when I go out.

    I love this post! I had never heard of a ENSO or Qalo ring before.... I'll definitely be ordering one!

    I always wear mine when running outside. I love to watch the sparkle of the diamond in the sun. I only take it off when doing dishes or bathing.

    I always take mine off when I'm going for a run. I'm paranoid that my hand will get sweaty and it will fall off!

    I never wear mine to the gym. Nor do I wear it to clean, sleep, or shower. I know some people, like my MOH and my mother who never ever take theirs off.

    I wear mine 24/7. I run marathons, and my ring goes every mile with me-- through training, through the run, in the bath afterwards. I've never had a problem with swelling or loosness.

    Baliee-- on your initial subject-- if someone *does* try and steal your ring, throw it one way and run the other-- I used to fantasize about how brave I'd be if someone demanded my ring. Then I took a serious self-defense course and came to my senses-- no property is worth my safety. If they want it, let them have it.
