I’ve said it before<\/a>, and many others already know that it’s the best. Nude exercising.<\/p>\n

Now\u00a0Basingstoke personal trainer, Helen Smith, has caught on as well:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

AN EXERCISE class for people in the nude launched its first class on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Nude-ercise session, run by a personal trainer from Basingstoke, takes place every third Saturday of the month at Nursling Village Hall in Southampton.<\/p>\n

The first class saw 10 people follow instructions from trainer Helen Smith, who is also a member of naturist group British Naturism and runs the hour-long class for a price of \u00a38 from 5pm.<\/p>\n

Helen, 35, said: \u201cI think people are starting to embrace naturism more and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea behind it is that it\u2019s your natural body and there\u2019s nothing sexual about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main benefit of exercising naked is that you can really see what the instructor is doing\u00a0in the exercises.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou also don\u2019t have to think about washing sweaty gym clothes after the class.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are required to pre-register by emailing me and to show\u00a0ID at the beginning, just for everyone\u2019s peace of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The class featured participants between the ages of 33 and 70 with the activity being described as a gentle boot camp.<\/p>\n

It included jumping jacks, sit ups and partner work. Helen left her job as a recruitment consultant two years ago to become a full-time fitness instructor and was inspired to become a naturist after visiting a nude beach in southern France.<\/p>\n

Helen said: \u201cI was on holiday with my partner and we turned up at a naturist beach and thought \u2018let\u2019s do it\u2019 and it was a really enjoyable afternoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are starting to embrace naturism more and more. \u201cIn this day and age you have pop stars wearing scantily-clad clothing and on the other hand you have things like naked bike rides.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other classes will take place in London as well as other towns including Reading, Guildford and Alton.<\/p>\n
