Is it necessary to use supporter in gym when I am not doing any weight exercises? I do treadmill, cycling, pushups only. Basically I do exercises to stay fit, not to make muscle, so no weight exercises.

I am referring to Jock straps here as supporters.

I have played sports and worked out my whole life. I think jocks should always been worn, even doing the basics at the gym. You want to protect yourself. If your standard underwear choice is boxers or freeball, a jock is even more important.

You are still working up a lot of motion on those family jewels by treadmill and cycling-and you don't want the pain of a hernia--so get strapped and watch out for guys staring you down when you strip in the lockeroom-they look hot on!

Are you talking about a jock strap? Then that is your own choice. If they bang around too much, then use one or just use a tighter or more snug brief. If you are talking about a weight belt, then no, there is no need.
