2. the gym is your social circle
3. you feel naked without a heart rate monitor on

    Your husband has to hide your workout shoes. I get my "second wind" about this time of night, and I've already done 45 minutes of cardio today. He keeps telling me no. He's afraid (and I may be too!) that I'm going to burn myself out.

    Oh, and to add to your fitness instructor one...
    My 4 year old refers to the fitness dvd instructors by name. And talks about them like they are our friends. Jillian, Leslie, George....it cracks me up!

    you feel guilty that you didnt work out enough when you already worked out at lunch time so you have to work out again once you get home!

    you Love getting up at 4.30 AM and work out for 90 to 120 minutes and go to work with a huge smile on your face.

    you look forward to geting a new workout program to combine with the one you are already getting used to.

    you work out 6 days a week and are sorry that you need one day of rest, your body really demands it and you abide, in order to get back to it without any injuries.

    LMBO...my fave is number 6; I can just picture a well-dressed man in a smart suit and briefcase getting down into a runner's lunge to tie his Stacey Adams' :smile:

    My addittion: Your a workout addict when:
    1. You're pissed off because the gym is closed on Christmas
    2. You do calf raises while waiting in line at the grocery store
    3. You wear your heart rate monitor during " realations"

    After Easter Sunday church service you consider calling the gym to see if they are open.

    You consider being late from your lunch hour just to reach 350 calories burned.

    You don't mind walking from the tire place, to the mall, around the mall, and back to the tire place because you know you're burnin' off some goo.

    You're in mid conversation with husband and still do the X pose with Tony Horton at the end of the shoulders workout.

    When you wake up constantly throughout the night looking at the clock trying to see if it's time to get up for your morning workout.

    When you're sitting in a business meeting and all you are thinking about is how you can increase your bench press by 50lbs.

    When you use your mantel in your house for your HRM.

    1. When you sleep in your workout clothes to be ready for a workout right when you wake up.
    2. You call your friends and coworkers "the kids"
    3. "Bring it" is your new saying.
    4. You negotiate in your mind that a day off from working out still includes some sort of exercise like a brisk walk.

    Never thought I would fall into that category, but here I am!

    1. When you're at work thinking the time is creeping by and you can't wait to get home to pop in your DVD.

    2. When you find yourself doing workout moves and you're nowhere near the turned off TV.

    3. When you feel guilty for occasionally spending too much time on other things and leave no workout time.

    4. When you already have multiple DVDs you could use, but that new one is a "must have" in your mind so you plot on how to get it.

    Yep! And you always go to the exercise department in Target looking at new DVD's
