Beanie
Buzz
Performance beanie caps like
this one from Suntex are a
great workout accessory when
training outside on chilly days.
But have you ever wondered
why people wear beanie caps
while exercising indoors?
Here are the (unof cial) top ve reasons
people wear beanies in the gym:
1 To cover messy hair
2 To keep earbuds from
falling out
3 Style—to look cool
4 To feel more private
and focused
5 To increase the intensity
of a workout and lose
weight faster
