annoyances at the gym:- when people have loud conversations either while on treadmills or just standing there. (especially when they carry on for a few minutes!)
- loud music overhead, to where i can't even hear my mp3.
- annoying music overhead
- when my mp3 runs out of battery. and i just can't finish running w/o my music!
- strong "burly" man (aka steroids?) who thinks he's the only one there, either singing out loud with his mp3 or making all sorts of noises. (you know what i mean)
- all the testosterone
- when people are on the treadmill, and have the incline up to about 10, and are holding on for dear life to the top of the treadmill, all the while reading a magazine. (what good is it when you're hanging on to the treadmill like that?)
- when people 'flatulate' next to you, then look around like, "was that you?"
- when the heart rate monitors don't pick up your heart rate (those silver things you grip on the treadmill handles) or when you have to hold on to them forever and it's not reading. and then if it does, it says only like 50 ... while you're huffing & puffing, it's telling you you're not even in the cardiovascular zone! and you're thinking "yes i am!"
and WHY:
- why do some people show up to the gym and actually go thru a whole work out wearing jeans? that does not make sense to me.
- why (it seems quite counter-productive) watching someone get into their car or just before they get out of their car to go work out, suck on their last puff of cigarette or drink some pop. it's counter-productive people!!!
So in conclusion, working out is good. it's worth it. it makes you feel better after you work out, you get into shape. But I've got to say I think I'd much rather have my own gym at home.
