A personal trainer has launched Britain's first nude-ercise class where keep fit fanatics work out completely naked.
Former recruitment consultant Helen Smith, 35, led the first workout class for ten participants on Saturday evening in Southampton.The hour-long class, was attended by people aged between 33 and 70.
Ms Smith, who is a British Naturism member, said:
'The main benefit of exercising naked is that you can really see what the instructor is doing in the exercises.
'For example, if you are doing a plank but wearing baggy exercise clothes, it is hard to tell if you have the correct form or not.You also don't have to think about washing sweaty gym clothes after the class, and it's a great way to celebrate the body.'
Ms Smith, came up with the idea after someone on a forum asked her whether she did nude fitness training.She said:
'I decided to look into it, and I couldn't find anything else like it. I think I'm offering the first classes like this.
'The focus is to allow people to take part in a normal activity, but naked, so people don't feel they are doing anything unusual.'Participants are required to pre-register by emailing me, and to show ID at the beginning of the class, just for everyone's peace of mind.
'Nothing untoward happens in these classes, and if there was any hint of that then the person responsible would be asked to leave.
