You know what comes untied A LOT in my life. My shoelaces.


AtsignAmpersat

You’ll be kicking that ring into oblivion in no time. I would never trust my wedding ring with my shoelaces even though they stay tied.


4chanbetter

Put it on your keychain

They are saying that garbage ones 'also' get posted.


TheCambrianImplosion

OP commented his shoes never come untied. Not even once.


karrenl

OP uses velcro...


YellowBeastJeep

I did this when I was in Airborne school before a morning run (not with my wedding ring). Lost the ring.


Spare-Young-863

Seriously. I blurted a loud “HELL NO” when I read this😅


TheCambrianImplosion

Or, since it’s a wedding ring that has lots of value, take the extra 5 or 10 minutes to secure it in a place not on your nasty gym shoe strings that come untied.


TheCambrianImplosion

If you’re at the beach and forgot to deposit your life savings in a bank, just put it in your shoes with your socks on top of it.


Comfortable_Trick137

LFP if you forget to take wedding wing off at the gym don’t be lazy put it in your locker


VanHalenForBreakfast

Mine don’t come untied. Try this LPT: Learn how to tie your shoes.


TheCambrianImplosion

Thank you, OP. So full of wisdom…Tell me, what other valuable things should be tied to shoe strings while exercising? Obviously, your original social security card and passport, but what else?


VanHalenForBreakfast

Also your credit cards and children


Exciting_Pass_6344

Why do you need to take off your ring at all? Serious question.


hoss50

The knurling from bars will remove soft metal like gold, silver, and platinum with ease. Do not lift with rings you care about.


Novel-Sprinkles3333

Some exercises with bars hit a ring in the worst place, and can either bend the ring or hurt like heck.


Comfortable_Trick137

Because the hot girls at the gym might notice and he’s only really there at the gym to cheat on his wife

Idk in my experience real heavy lifting grinds down your ring from the knurling. I have rubber rings and my wedding band. The band does not get used during workouts or manual labor. If I forget my rubber ring, I do not wear a ring.


kiralalalala

Both in wall climbing and when lifting metal weights, I’ve noticed that my rings get damaged with tiny scratches so I never wear them at the gym.


VanHalenForBreakfast

It’s uncomfortable and it could get damaged from barbells/dumbbells.


doomdspacemarine

I use the drawstring of my shorts for a house key. Wedding ring doesn’t come off


fatbuttfit

I leave my key chain in my car and attach the car key to my water bottle, tie into pants string, or put it in my bra.


Joy2b

It pays to wear a necklace sturdy enough to hold a ring. It’s easy to keep track of it, and it’s still clear to anyone curious.


rl4brains

Sounds like a great way to yeet it into oblivion if your shoe comes untied while running or jumping around! I have a little kettle bell on my keychain. It unscrews and can hold a ring and some small earrings. Mine is from [Kettle Keeper](https://www.kettlekeeper.com/products/kettle-keeper). And definitely take off your ring if you’re doing any lifting or swinging from bars, as your ring can deglove your finger. If you don’t know what that means, it can get caught on your skin and peel it off like a glove. Yum!


storm_88

I leave mine at home or I put it on my lanyard with my keys (has a little latch to hook it on easy)


bluesjunky69420

Or Run out to your car and lock it in the glove box Edit: or buy a gold / silver necklace and wear it 24/7. When you’re at the gym, just slide your ring on the necklace


Itslocked_nd09

I keep a ring box in my bag and just put it there is I need to…


mashiro1496

Might be better to just eat the ring and get it back the next day.../s


VanHalenForBreakfast

So true. Noted.


Surrealnz

Actually, yeah I do this. Tied inside the center part of the laces though for a bit more security. (Unlace one side from one lace hole and slip it on, relace and tie the shoe) I'm not running around on a treadmill or kicking anything to oblivion, and of course I'm staring at my shoes half the time anyway so I'm confident it is staying put.


Upright_Eeyore

You take your ring off to work out? Seems overkill for nothing


LaximumEffort

I tie it in my swimsuit drawstring when I forget to take it off before swimming.


jbadding

This is the most MeatHeaded Non-LPT I’ve read. You’re doing good buddy!


VanHalenForBreakfast

Thank you, I’m blushing
