Woman applies fake tan before hitting the gym – and lives to regret it

FINDING time to fake tan in between work, the gym and socialising can be tricky.

Sometimes we're forced to squeeze in a quick bronzing session before a workout, especially if we're hitting the town straight after.

But this woeful tale may well put you off applying fake tan before a sweaty gym session ever again.

Twitter user Eve, from Falkirk, Scotland, smothered her legs in bronzing lotion before popping on her work-out leggings.

But rather than leaving the gym sun-kissed and radiant, her legs ended up looking like a walking advert for Adidas.

Sharing a snap of the unfortunate legging logo design on Twitter, Eve admitted: "That’s the last time I workout with tan on btw."

Her amusing tweet, which she shared yesterday, went on to receive nearly 37,000 likes and 4,000 shares.

And it turned out she wasn't the only person to fall victim to a legging logo tanning fail.

Fellow Twitter user Eden Chicken shared a similar snap in reply, captioned: "Hahahahah same."

Unsurprisingly, Adidas appears to be loving this free advertising.

The brand tweeted Eve: "We’d say it’s fate. Way to rep the Three Stripes, Eve. We see you."

Well played.
