Why have I seen golfers, swimmers, and cyclists (and all round athletic me) with shaven legs lately.
I never noticed this before, but I was at a professional golf outing today, (its pretty easy to pick out the ones who have been athletic and workout a lot), but so many shave their legs. I had noticed in the past that a lot of weight lifters shave their arms as well. Is this performance related, and a well kept secret?Is it just a vanity thing? I cant imagine that the benefits outweigh the cost. Thanks for the answers! |

bikers shave their legs to make cleaning up road rash easier. folks that wear body armor sometimes shave their chest because it itches like hell under your armor when it gets hot. i have no clue why it would be beneficial to golfers....
ETA: as for the swimming/drag concept, i've heard that also, but unless you're an olympic level swimmer i don't see that making too much of a difference |
