Wearing Ring While Working Out

ARudell, on February 24, 2017 at 9:32 AM

I find myself constantly removing my engagement ring for gym classes and going on runs... What do you ladies do? Do you have a different ring that you wear when working out? Or do you just go without?

    I just ordered one of Amazon! This was such a great idea.

    I really only wear my e-ring when I'm out and about. It comes off when I'm just lounging at home, sleeping, going to the gym, showering, etc.

    Too many opportunities to damage/lose it. I'm fine being ringless. Makes me no less committed whether I wear it or not.

    Personally, I wear mine. All the time. I had a promise ring before it that I took off and it was stolen. I also... may have discussed with my FH before he bought a ring that I didn't want one that would snag too much on stuff or be too bulky.

    I did take it off to go river rafting, though! And I turned it around to do a workout that involved a punching bag. That's sort of it.

    I always wear mine, except when dealing with my hair or raw meat. I even keep it on for cardio and weight lifting. I always wear weight lifting gloves, so it feels secure.

    I put all of my jewelry in a little makeup bag, inside my gym bag, when I'm at the gym. I put it back on after I get home and shower.

    If your just doing cardio, its fine to wear your ring. But I am always doing heavy lifting, so I have a QALO Band. I have gotten so used to having a ring on that I tend to freak out a bit if I don't have anything on at all. Qalo is super affordable and comfortable.

    I take mine off on the elliptical because I tend to sweat A LOT and it gets gross under my ring. It also comes off for weights. Once the weather gets nicer and I can go running, I may leave it on.

    While in the gym I keep it on the machine with me (rather than in my bag or in the locker room) in my sight the whole time, and it goes right back on before I step off the machine.

    I leave it at home when I go to the gym. FH wants me to wear it 24/7 but I told him the weights can break the diamond

    I take mine off when I do the dishes or work outside in the garden. And when I shower and sleep. Some weekends I'll just forget to put it on since we are laying around the house but I usually keep mine on for most everything. I don't feel like I'm less engaged without it, but it doesn't get in my way so I don't feel like I have to take it off for things either.

    ETA: clarity

    I take my off when i work out, i always took of all my jewelry off when exercises.

    this may be UO but i dont get the appeal of wearing your engagement ring while exercising. I find it feels annoying and gets in the way

    I have an antique ring that is almost 100 years old. I will wear it out, but not to exercise, clean, shower, or sleep. I have insurance but the ring really can't be replaced if something were to happen to it. I also find it uncomfortable/annoying to wear it when I'm working out or sleeping. I don't feel any less engaged without it, but everyone's different I guess.

    I just saw my jeweler for a check up and he says its in perfect condition. He also said the worst things for rings (old or new) is sleeping and showering with them. Pools and ocean are very bad too.

    I dance professionally and I can't wear my ring in rehearsals and in performances so I bought a ring bandit (http://www.ringbandits.com) and I put it in there before I go to work. When I'm performing FH carries it. I hate taking it off but it flying off or getting damaged makes me even more paranoid.

    I can't image wearing a ring while lifting. I feel like that would be uncomfortable and dangerous. Mine comes off at the gym, any exercise really, to sleep, swim, or shower. I don't have a QALO band, I just go ringless.

    I take mine off for showering and messy cooking (raw meat, baking, anything I touch directly).

    You may want to forgo the ring as not to damage it or have hidden bacteria build up. Why would you want to ruin the sparkle ; )

    I'm an EMT and I've purchased a Qalo ring and love it, although I don't wear it just yet. I (personally) feel like it's weird to wear a band if you're not married? If you're unsure of buying a $25 Qalo silicone ring, check amazon for other versions. They're like $8.
