So I was talking to this lady at work a few weeks ago who was in the bathroom right before we all left for the day and she was dressed in workout clothes and brushing her teeth...."What are you doing?" I asked. After of course spitting a rinsing she responded "I hate working out with an unclean mouth.." What a weirdo I thought, but then the more I think about it I realized I have my own pet peeves when it comes to exercising! I CANNOT workout without first putting chapstick on...why? I have no clue. So I was just curious...what are your guy's workout pet peeves/must have??

    Toothpaste = breathing heavy- don't want anyone to keel over from your breath.
    Chapstick= again breathing heavy- lips get dried out, and sweat burns them when they crack.

    I do both. :ohwell:

    Sounds more like workout must have. Mine is water and right clothes. Guess I am an easy fix :) My pet peeve is A**holes at the gym who are in mega good shape scoffing at me for trying. Hey at least I am out there doing it not just sitting on my bum complaining! God I hate meat heads!

    I always shower before a workout.. Just feel warm and refreshed. Everyone always asks me if I am finished with my
    workout and I explain to them why I shower. Just a habit I have from my racquetball days.
    also I have to have the same bike for spin and the same spot for body pump. I wish I could change that.

    Soooo messed up! I don't think I'll ever understand people who act that way...whenever I see someone in the gym, no matter how big they are I ALWAYS think, HELL YEA! YOU GET IT! I admire anyone in the gym working to be healthier. Forget those losers, if they are that vain then how fulfilling could their lives possibly be? Sad for them. Keep it up with your hard work! You'll be even sexier that them in no time! ;)

    Ha, this is so me. I am friends with the owner of the gym and I looked at him the other day and asked if he could ask the guy using the rack to leave. I was joking, but man it drives me crazy :) Luckily, my gym is expanding and we will have a second rack soon.

    sweat in my eyes...but also
    1. People sitting (do nothing) talking on a machine and getting the evil eye when you ask politely to work in.
    2. People finishing a set and then sitting there resting for the next set...get up, some one else can use the machine while you are at rest. I promise to wipe it down after I finish each of my sets.

    The group of 4 old ladies standing around the circuit... getting in my way while I'm trying to work... and then when they tell me they have priority on the machines because they're doing that 30 minute thing. All 4 in a row. Um... NO.:angry:
