The First Nude Exercise Class In Britain

The only thing better than working out is working out naked of course!! That's obviously Helen Smith, 35,  was thinking when she launched Britain's first nude-ercise class where keep fit fanatics work out completely naked.
.
The first class which held Saturday evening in Southampton.with ten participants  aged between 33 and 70, included jumping-jacks, sit-ups, push-ups and partner work.
.
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.'
.
While the class is a nude activity, women can wear sports bras for comfort and participants can wear trainers for some exercises if they wish.
.
Ms Smith, from Basingstoke, came up with the idea after someone on a forum asked her whether she did nude fitness training.
.
Ms Smith left her job in recruitment two years ago to become a full-time fitness instructor, and she runs various classes and boot camp workouts.
.
She was inspired to become a naturist two years ago after visiting a nudist beach in France.
