THOUGHTS OF A FITNESS FREAK

That was me today I suppose.  It’s not really a bad thing, but I went during the day and its not my normal thing on a weekday.  I did see some of my guys.  You know, the older guys who always seem to be there no matter what time you go?  I see alot of weird stuff lately.  People doing all kinds of balls, funky walking lunges and some women jiggling weight like she was shaking some morracas.  Basic weight training is all you really need.  Just lift some weights.  You don’t need to get into some fancy schmancy designer weight training program. 

Also, I watched the show workout.  By all means, they get results from people by pushing them…BUT I see them making people HATE exercise.  I don’t think if I started training someone, making them cry would actually be serving a purpose.  Its not the military or anything.  Making someone feel like shit and yelling at them is probably not going to serve its purpose in the long run.  Besides that, the show is more about making out than working out.  I don’t care that the woman is a lesbian, but if I have to see her kiss her girlfriend every 3 seconds I am going to hurl.  If you can’t keep your lips off your boyfriend OR girlfriend for 3 seconds, you got issues.  I could just switch it over to MTV and watch some making out there. How about they have a show called workout, where you might learn something?  THERES A CONCEPT.  

Another bitch……I was going to do db presses and I look over for my 25’s and they are gone.  i look at the rack for more 25’s and they are gone…..so I look to my left and there is mr and mrs workout together with 3 sets of dumbbells including both sets of 25’s. How rude is that?  They need BOTH sets?  And they were using a set of 20’s while the other 2 just sat there.  GYM HOGS…..I am seeing lots of this lately, thats why i prefer to go so late.  You cannot take 5 minutes in between sets while sitting at the machine and chatting, you cannot leave your stuff set up for 5 minutes while you go off to "superset" and expect it to be there when you come back.  Perhaps you have all day to stroll through the gym, but I have stuff to do. I am in a hurry and I still have manners. IF you have 1 more set, then do it dammit. I will not sit there and wait while you talk about the highlights of your week for 10 minutes with some dude who is sitting on a machine that someone else is waiting for.  Must I become GYM ******* and exclaim loudly what a douchebag you are?  Heheee, I just wanted to say douchebag.  Face it, most of us have busy schedules and we all pay our dues and should get to use what we want accordingly. I’m not better than anyone, but I do watch an area I am heading to for a few minutes before going there to see what kind of activity is going on. Sometimes people just leave all their stuff racked with weights and go home, so you have to see if they are coming back. I don’t want to dump and yes I mean dump their weights on the floor only to have them come back.  I HAVE done it and no one has ever said anything to me.  I figure 10 minutes is far too long for someone to be coming back, correct? Anyway, its not the big dudes you have to worry about, its us little chicks in the little pink tops who are nuts about gym etiquette. .. or any kind of etiquette for that matter.

Hope you guys had a fine holiday!  I ate too much macaroni salad and am going to pop.  I have enough carbs in me for the next 3 days.  Back to diet tomorrow and a little Cytolean.

DONT FORGET WHAT MEMORIAL DAY IS FOR………..
