Waking up every morning to work out can be hard. But, it gets easier when you're wearing fun clothes that motivate you to get moving. Also, coffee makes it easier.
Just picture this, you somehow manage to wake up, stretch, play your favorite motivational playlist, and run a mile feeling like what I imagine Captain Kirk feels like every morning. Add a smoothie and you might have the perfect way to start the day.
So, show your love for the show while training with these workout clothes. Even if it's from home. Or do what I do and just wear them while watching Netflix and eating ice cream.
Star Trek VI Weight Lifting Gloves
I don't know a lot about weightlifting but I understand gloves are very necessary. These have added grip to make your workout sesh safer. But working out is always better with a buddy so, you still need a number one for spotting.
It is also a great way to show everyone that Trekkies can also be jacked. Let's tear down stereotypes.
Star Trek (The Original Series Science Blue Uniform Adult T-Shirt)
The best workout starts with the best workout outfit. This blue uniform t-shirt will show that you are both smart, and actually work out. It looks subtle enough that your gym bros won't think twice about you repping Starfleet.
But, we all know the blue uniform is for scientists, and being a scientist for the Enterprise is as smart as you get.
Popfunk Star Trek Distressed Starfleet Academy T Shirt & Stickers
This is for all those who are still working hard to earn a degree. You should get an award for studying, having an active social life, working out, and binge-watch your favorite show every now and then. But, since we don't have an award, here is a T-shirt. That you have to buy for yourself.
Star Trek DS9 Niners Baseball League Logo Graphic T-Shirt
There are several Star Trek t-shirts out there. But there is only one team that matters. This DS9 Niners is the best way to show you're so athletic you could actually join the team. Plus, we are supposed to be in the middle of baseball season, so it's appropriate.
This can also help distract from the fact that sports are canceled for the time being.
Funny Headwear Headbands Star Trek Outdoor Sport Magic Scarf
Some people wear headbands because of the way they look. Others wear them because they need to keep their hair off their face or because they sweat, a lot. Whatever your reason might be, this fun headband will definitely make a colorful statement. And, if you're bored you can count all the different squares with the logo.
That's what people want at the gym, right? Make colorful statements?
Star Trek Men's Next Generation Data Emotions T-Shirt
Some people live their lives out loud. They can't control their expressions. You can tell exactly how they're feeling. Data is not one of those people. If you aren't either, this tee will serve as a clear visual representation of your emotions at all times.
Plus, Data will forever be one of the best characters "The Next Generation" gave us.
Star Trek Men's Next Generation Data Emotions T-Shirt
If a hard-core sweaty workout isn't your thing you might want to try something more relaxing like a nice walk, or yoga. These lounge pants are perfect for just that. They are loose and comfortable enough to make flexible movement easy, and they're perfect for that "post-workout Netflix binge."
A workout should also help your mental health, so comfort and relaxation are as important as leg day. At least that's all I do after a good workout.
Bioworld Star Trek Logo Lounge Pants
Basically, these are the same pants as the previous ones but with the iconic Vulcan greeting. And, if you keep exercising and taking care of your self you will, in fact, "live long and prosper."
Take care of yourself!
Star Trek TNG Towel
It can get really sweaty when working out. You might want to hop in the shower right away, but if you can't a towel will do the trick. This towel particularly is made with 24th Century technology.
Okay, that might be a lie, but towels are pretty straight forward. How much can they actually improve?
Brainstorm Gear Star Trek Running Hat
For all those who are training for a marathon, or running around the block, or walking the dog until it finds the perfect fire hydrant. This hat will not only shade you from the sun, keep your hair and sweat off your face, but also show people that you do not want to be disturbed, and just because you're outside, it does not mean you want to socialize.
Star Trek Discovery T-Shirt
"Discovery" fans get forgotten in the middle of a TOS and TNG fandom sea. I see you. Even you deserve a quality tee to help you with your most arduous workout. This specific women's shirt is for those who keep their endorphins high by keeping their body moving. The navy blue is classic and timeless and goes with any yoga pants or shorts you wear to the gym.
You know that to be a part of the Discovery crew you need to keep your energy levels up.
Starfleet Academy Hoodie
Cold weather is no excuse to skip leg day. Although I've done that one too many times. Train as if you were a student at Starfleet Academy and use this hoodie to protect yourself from the morning chill weather.
Or just wear this hoodie all the time because it's really comfortable and looks pretty cool.
Star Trek Massage Mens Short Sleeve Shirt
This is the nerdy version of "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." I know that holodecks are not a real thing yet, but we do have virtual reality, and how different can it be? I might not know anything about VI but you can basically put yourself in the middle of any situation with those ugly VR glasses.
I wonder if the secrets would cancel out if you used the holodeck to replicate Vegas.
Men's Star Trek LGBTQ shirt
Not all gym-bros are straight. We deserve a tee that shows we are multifaceted. We work out, we're out and proud, and we are Patrick Stewart fans. All at the same time.
Star Trek Emblem Men's Loungewear Sleep Lounge Pants
And, we have another pair of pants because you need one for every day of the week. Seriously, if you are reusing dirty workout clothes you're nasty. And don't tell me you do laundry more than once a week because I know you don't.
These are gray pants because we all know there is nothing hotter than the gray sweatpants look.
Redditor Deviant55 wanted to talk about physical intimacy in relationships, so they asked:
"How important is sex to you in a relationship? Could you be with someone you love even if sex was off the table indefinitely?"
I learned how much sex matters in my last relationship.
Once I wasn't interested, it kind of killed everything.

Frustration
"When I met my wife we couldn’t keep our hands off each other. This lasted a few years. I was in my mid-twenties when we married. She developed a chronic medical issue. I’ve gone twenty years being sexually frustrated. There are stages and phases to this."
"What I came to realize is that I love my wife. Yes, sex is important in our relationship. But I would rather have her in my life with no sex than have sex without her."
"The thing is, I love her. She can’t help her situation. I can’t help it. One deals with it. Marriage is more than sex. It is building a life and memories, raising a family, and loving each other regardless of the challenges life throws our way. But sex is very important. It helps keep the closeness and the emotional bond. But it isn’t the only thing that does that."

I Love Her
"It is complicated. I am in a near-sexless marriage. The wife needs antidepressants to function. And it kills her libido. So usually it is four to six times a year. My libido rages. And yeah, it sucks. I dream of more sex."
"But I love the chick. She loves me to the moon and back. I’m not willing to sacrifice her love so I can try dating again. Divorce rates these days? And I found a woman who more than tolerates me, she loves me. I’ll stay. And not to be crude but yeah I masturbate. A lot. She doesn’t begrudge me that. Occasionally she even encourages it."
"She went off her meds for a while. And man did we do it. But she was a mess. I need her healthy more than I need a shag. We travel together. We enjoy each other’s company. We actually like each other. I could claim that it is hell, but I choose to see all of the good I am blessed with."

Heartless
"Quite important. But I think it depends on where you are in the relationship. I've been married for 10 years. I have kids. If my wife suddenly couldn't have sex with me for some reason -- illness or injury or something -- I'm not divorcing her over it. That's heartless."
"Now, if she just decided we weren't ever having sex again because she didn't feel like it, that'd be different. Or if I was just starting to date someone and they told me they'd never have sex, I probably just wouldn't keep pursuing the relationship. Plenty of people out there who will."

Necessity
"It depends on the circumstances. I LOVE doing it with my man but I love his heart and soul more. If we had to stop having sex for medical reasons or something I’d definitely stay with him and stay faithful. If I was single, I think it’s unlikely I’d start a new relationship knowing it would be sex free."

Heart and soul is just as necessary and hot and sweaty.
At least a lot of people recognize that.
Percentages
Giphy"Sex life is 10% of a relationship when it’s good and 90% of a relationship when it’s bad."
jakovichontwitch
"The other way I've heard it put is that sex is like the bathroom in your house. It's not the only reason you bought the house, but if it's not working it's a big problem."

Age Related
"50-year-old here married for 27 years. It’s not important. It was important when we were younger but honestly, if sex wasn’t possible I would still love my wife and really nothing about our day would really change."
Kantforall
"I’ve been reading these comments and wishing that everyone’s age was flared on their post because I sense that there are a lot of under-60-year-olds. I am older than my wife but she is starting menopause and I can see the writing on the wall. Not super thrilled but I love her completely and understand. The real intimacy is in how we still (and will always) want to sleep touching each other and waking up next to each other."

Kiss Me
"I honestly considered this before. I absolutely adored this guy. It was like a child relationship; we'd kiss and cuddle and hold hands and things, but he wouldn't have sex with me, nor would he commit properly. Any time we came close to sex, he'd go soft or back off."
"I couldn't understand it, wondered if I could keep doing that. My sex drive was wild. Why kiss and the rest but not sex?"
"Then one day he told me he was in love with me and asked me out properly. I said yes there and then, had a wonderful day with him, but when I went home, I was left questioning if I could possibly live without sex. I decided that yeah, I loved him but it would be tough."
"We had sex the next day. So yes, I think I probably could."

Touchy/affectionate...
"It's very important. I'm a very affectionate and physical person and touch/caresses and anything physical is one of my love languages. I couldn't function with someone who is the opposite of me or who's uncomfortable with how I am. I already was in a relationship with someone who wasn't that touchy/affectionate and it created frustration for both of us."

Don't Look at Me
"I am in a sexless relationship. He has erectile dysfunction and I really don't like sex in general. I'm really uncomfortable naked or even vulnerable. I'm shy around him despite the relationship being 10 years nearly, I'm even shy around my family and friends. Everything about sex makes me feel so embarrassed, and I feel nothing but negative feelings when I used to be sexually active. Not through choice of partner, I just hate that sort of attention."

Sex is important but not everything.
Until it is everything if it becomes an issue.
Good luck couples. Open and honest communication is key.
