What husbands should love about working out with their wives and then some!
After a great workout this morning and fun day at home with the family, my wife, kids and I headed off to the gym. Since I worked out this morning I wanted to help Michele with her "leg day". She did an awesome job considering I know I embarrassed/annoyed her on more than one occasion.
You know what I’m talkin’ about…when you’re in a playful mood and you know you’re not going to have to concentrate. Doing things like talking to her while in the middle of a set, secretly adding weight to the machine, flexing in the mirror when EVERYONE was looking, talking about people loudly while they were standing right next to us, ect… You know, the usual stuff that seems to embarrass women for who knows WHAT reason.

I got to thinking about those things that annoy the bejeebers outta me while working out and thought I would list the TOP 5 pet peeves I have. I am going to exclude the one my wife does (clanking the weights) because we already covered that. I’ve already counselled her on NOT DOING IT AGAIN while I am in the gym with her and I trust that she will OBEY my orders. All the above do not count either because I said so.

So, here are the top 5 I trust you WILL NOT do when visiting my gym…at least not while I’m there so I don’t have to go sargent on your buttocks! (see above cause that’s what I look like when I have to):
5. Talking/texting on cellphone while doing cardio.
4. Talking on cellphone or texting while using a machine.
3. Making any weight machine or bench a personal gym couch and/or end table.
2. Naked dude talking to you in the locker room. (DUDE!!!)
1. Being THAT GUY! (every gym has at least one) (but it definately is NOT me) (just in case you were wondering).

Hahahahaha! I totally know where you’re coming from on number 2…it’s always the ridiculously old guys who decide to do the ol’ 1 leg on the bench, one on the floor technique leaving little to the imagination. Great list

OMG I so agree with all of these! And may I add, the women that lean on the cardio machines like the stair stepper and expect to get a good workout!

Scullcrusher, that is exactly what I am talking about, I just decided to leave that type of detail out of the blog. LOL
