Need to find way to keep my eyeglasses on

I wear glasses and can't really exercise without them. When I'm home I wear a wide sweat/headband and just slide the end of my glasses under it to keep them on. It looks goofy but I'm inside and my hubby doesn't care. But when I'm outdoors I would like to jog or ride a bike and find a better way to keep them from sliding down my face when I get sweaty or am active. Any suggestions of a way to do that without looking really nerdy?

There are sports bands that connect to the end pieces and can go under your hair in the back so they're not seen.

I thought of those too - surfers use them a lot here, to keep their sunglasses on. Here's an eBay link

I wear glasses, too, and mine stay on fine when I run (ditto for my dad... although DH is in your boat.). Maybe you could invest in a second pair that's more secure for working out? (However, I would totally stand by you if you simply elected to wear your wide headband--I need one to keep the little wispy bits of my hair out of my face and also cover my ears when it's breezy, so using it to hold glasses in place sounds totally reasonable to me )

Keeping glasses on

I have a ski slope nose and when I start to sweat, mine slide down my face. Doesn't matter which pair I'm wearing.
