Why do women wear baseball hats during indoor cardio workouts?

I haven't been able to figure this one out. I was the lone woman in a class today without the prerequisite baseball hat. Am I doing it wrong?

Maybe you comb your hair.  Or you're already cool, so you don't need the stupid hat.

It makes you sweat, and they think sweating burns more calories?

Definitely to hide the bad hair day.

...people worry about what their hair looks like 15 minutes before it's dripping with sweat?

I go to the worst gym anyway. Everyone is wearing boobie tassels and booty shorts. I see several woman keeping lipgloss next to their water bottles. I DON'T GET IT. I look like a homeless person in there

I don't understand what the problem is.

 Yeah - their tassels probably came as a matching set with the shorts and hat.

I just had a dance aerobics class for the first time yesterday and all the other women were wearing some sort of mini-blanket around their waistlines. Apparently there is a way to spot reduce, and they have found it! I wonder how it would work for a double chin..

I have a possible solution. I usually wear a bandana at the gym because I HATE having some random loose strand of hair sticking out. Sometimes when I get my hair cut, a few pieces are too short to fit in the ponytail so I have to put a million bobbypins in to get it to stay... or I could put on a hat and avoid the bobbypinning. However, I hate wearing hats inside so I don't actually do this.

Sitting here trying to get my boobie tassles to consecutively twirl in opposite directions...it's a great exercise to bulk up my boobies while also toning them which in turn speeds up my metabolism and helps me burn an extra 8000 calories a day! I recommend boobie tassle HIIT, really swing those ta-ta's as fast as you can for 60 secs then casually swing them from side to side for 30 secs then repeat. 

my nipple flew off. Now what?

I love the boobie tassle HIIT idea - how about the crotch rocket pump jump for the lower body?

I wear baseball hats at the gym. I guess I never thought it was weird. I mostly do it so I can keep it low and avoid the group of guys t working out in their combat boots taking 2 hours doing about 4 bench reps, who are always trying to give me "tips".

Keep the hat low, don't make eye contact...they will never see me. It's camoflage.

I wear either a ball cap or bandanna during spin class. My hair is short and cut in a way that the front is a little longer. If I don't wear something on my head and tuck all the hair in, the sweat will be running in my eyes. That is when I miss longer hair that can be pulled back.

ditto - gotta wear a doorag or i will have sweat in my eyes and dripping on my tassels.

must be a sweat control thing.

 That is quite common when doing tassle swirling with great intensity. Just staple your nip back on and keep going. If you fear the stapler, then crazy glue may work just as well.  There's no better way to get bulky, muscular yet toned ta-tas. Keep swirrrrrrrrrrrrrling.

I think one of mine is bulkier than the other, what should I do?!?!?!?!?

alright, I tried the crazy glue and it stuck but it also stuck my fingers to my boob! (yes I am typing with one hand). It was like some crazy kind of instant bond thing!

Now i have to hold my arm up so it doesn't pull painfully on my boob... will this make my right arm bigger than my left?!

Awwww snap!

I never thought about wearing a baseball hat.  It actually seems like a good idea.  I have very smooth hair and whenever I run my ponytail is constantly coming undone no matter how tight I wrap it!  So as I'm running I'm trying to put my hair back up and keep my elbows from knocking out pedestrians.  If I put my hair through the back of a hat I don't think I would have to worry about it, although I don't know how I would feel without a ponytail holder because I wear my hair up every day.  It's become an extension of me and I'm not sure how I would feel with losing it. 

I can't really understand booty shorts or boobie tassels, but are you sure you are at a gym and not at pole-dancing class?  That may explain it.  You have me on the lipgloss.

 SECKSI! :p

Take advantage of the hand stuck to the boob and massage the boob..it's like cardio for the boob. Unfortunately, the arm in the air will bulk up your shoulders within a few hours and there is nothing you can do about that but wait out the few days until the crazy gule starts to eat away your skin and your hand becomes free from the boob.
