Question?? Why would one bring his or her phone into the gym and proceed to talk for at least :45 minutes of the hour they are there? Can’t they do that at another time - - in your home, car, at the mall,etc.? I think it’s awesome to pay for a gym membership and then just show up and sit on the phone? What’s that about? I’ve seen people get on machines and then call or answer a call and talk while sitting on the machine. Don’t they know they are taking up space? I think it’s rude, ill mannered and selfish. . . and I guess talking on the phone while at the gym is physically draining because there is always that ubiquitous water bottle from which they are continuously drinking . . .

I believe water bottles are all the rage. It’s fashionable to be seen with a cute water bottle sipping intently as you go about your routine. Some people bring in plastic milk jugs full of water.  Some people use an empty water bottle to carry their water. Some people bring water in a 1 liter soda bottle. I wonder if they drank the all soda to get the empty bottle they now use for water?? Anyhoo, I marvel at the women who walk to the weight rack, do two sets of five reps with a 5 lb weight, rerack the weight and take this huge swig of water as if they’ve done something. They proceed to move from machine to machine doing one rep of 10 on everything and they make sure to hydrate.  I know  how drinking plenty of water is VERY important. I’m really glad they are hogging the machines and not the free weights otherwise they’d be in my way and I’d be despising instead of surmising. Hmmm…
