I wear glasses sometimes while working out; if they fit you, they should stay put. The only time glasses are annoying is when I do yoga; I have to keep on taking them on and off, especially in down-dog or other inverted poses. Also, you can't wear them if you turn your head to the side while lying prone, and they are totally annoying when trying to do savasana or any type of meditation, even seated; the weight and feel of the glasses goes against the objective.

I know a lot of surfers who NEED their glasses - similar issue.
You can get a strap that slips onto the lugs and passes around the back of your head. They're made of modern wetsuit material so they're quite soft and don't dig into your head. Try a surf shop. Here's a picture I found.

I have pretty bad vision but I don't wear mine when I workout. They don't fall off but do tend to bother me for some reason during a workout. I always preview the workout first but after that I just go by cues or I have done the workout enough to know what is coming.
I also used to wear contacts and LOVED THEM until I got pregnant with my 2nd son and after that I could not seem to wear them. I got to many infections. Kim |

I normally wear my glasses because I have astigmatism and can't find contacts to correct it. My glasses slide down my nose if I'm really sweaty but usually they don't bother me too much. I agree with the poster that suggested getting your glasses adjusted.
Even though I didn't buy my glasses at Walmart, they adjusted them and gave me new nose pieces for free. |

I'd take my glasses to where I got them (or any other store that sells lots of glasses) and ask them if they would adjust them so they could stay on. See if they can help. Most places with adjust glasses free of charge, especially if you bought them there.
I exercise with my glasses all the time and they stay on. And, I cannot imagine taking them off (except for examples like Abbe gave where you are lyling on the floor with your head turned). I'm blind as a bat!
