We all know the saying; ‘Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.’ Well when it comes to the gym, keep your spotters close and keep your hand sanitizer closer. Gyms are an excellent place for germs to survive due to the warm moist environment. The amount of people who work out during the day, makes it so easy for germs to be spread to all corners of the gym. With the recent case of H1N1, many gyms started to put more hand sanitizers dispensers to help fight the virus. Alcohol based sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol is highly recommended. As for the proper amount to use, roughly the size of a quarter, and it should take about 30seconds to dry once rubbed in your hands. Anything less than that can diminish the effects.
