My fitness confession

Leiki

My favorite hobby at the gym is to check out people with nice bodies, and see what work out they are doing to keep their bodies looking that way. (i.e. If a girl has a nice bum, I see how long she uses the stair climber, at what intensity, and her form)

I do that too, with a combination of jealousy and admiration!

my confession:

I love love love weight lifting (and all kinds of squats - i know, wth! lol) but i have the weakest triceps to the point that I avoid the exercises my trainer gives me - my ego just can't stand picking up the 5lb weights in public! ;-)

I lip sync in the mirror on the treadmill, and have been known to sing out loud when I'm the only one there.
And I definitely sing out loud when I run outside, mostly when I'm out in the country or alone on the trail. I can't help being moved by a song!!!

When I first starting walking at lunch at my last office I actually broke into the 'Thriller' dance when I walked through a forested part of my walk so I totally get this! My current fav is Robyn's "Dancing on My Own". I memorize the main dance starting at min 1.25 b/c I adore this song so much but unfortunately must resist the urge to do it where I work now - downtown core so there is no invisibility + I can't listen to music, it's just not safe in such a busy area. Hmmm, walking on the Harbor front is pretty desserted at this time of year, I think my mp3 player needs to come back for tomorrows walk, yay!

I knew I wasn't alone!
Bohemian Rhapsody gets.me.every.time!

I'm with you on the triceps training. I love to train everything and anything else, I try to pretend I'm hitting them with narrow grip bench pressing, lol.. I usually train them only 2 times per month. :O Oh wells...

my confession: On the weekends, I put on my yoga pants and a sports bra because it makes me feel skinnier

I live in my yoga pants and sports bra when I am home because it makes me feel like everything is just so!

I have a horrible road map of stretch marks on my stomach, so doing this in public is not an option lol

fatty_to_fitty

I enjoy passing gas when doing sit-ups.

Ha! Cracked me up

MaryDreamer

I want that book! I can't do any regular push-ups. I still do them on my knees and can only do about 10 good ones that way! I despise burpees! I hate mountain climbers too. I could go on lol

eissak

I spend entirely too much time checking out my body in panties and bra. Both admiring how much I have lost and picking out the flaws.

Me too!!

baddbob

I rock to the Rolling Stones when I want to get an upper body burn really going while lifting!!! The Beach Boys while doing cardio. Don't tell anyone about the Beach Boys. I'll be barred from the Biker Bars!!

HorrorChix89

I don't lift weights, haven't even thought about doing it, and pretty much ignore everyone that says I should

Sometimes when I am running on the treadmill I pretend I am Rocky Balboa and start fist-pumping, boxer style and celebrating.

Then I stop running. You can't keep running after that, can you??

Lollliiipopzzzz

I HATE burpee's (in any way, shape or form) with a passion.

Same here.. especially when they do them quickly. My legs get all tangled up lol

Helice

I hate working out in any way, shape, or form.. I only do it so i dont get wobbly..
If i didnt care about how i looked i'd never exercise again..
Although on a side note i love to dance, but cant be bothered to do that either..
God im so lazy lol..

Eleisabelle

My confession is that I get up EEARRRLY in the morning to try to get myself to do a daily yoga workout. But I usually end up on the couch snuggled up with my tea and my cat.

Slacker...

I can't run on a treadmill. I tip over... sideways.

I gave up eating veggies.
When I began, I ran out and bought veggies galore.
That lasted a few weeks where I choked down the disgusting veggies that I hated.
NO MORE!
I will never eat another veggie. I drink V8 juice 4 times daily.
That's my confession!:glasses:

I run to the beat on the elliptical. I think you can notice when my pandora pauses in between songs.

hello77kitty

Eye of the Tiger motivates me.

I hate running, My boobs are too big. I usually end up reading a magazine on the elliptical and I dont think its all that effective

I've been doing almost 100% cardio since I started to work seriously on my weight. Only recently began strength/power training but I find it hard to get into a consistent routine like I have with my walking.

On weekends, I'll throw on the pack (30-40 pounds), maybe grab the trekking poles and set out on a 5-10 mile cross-country hike with plenty of hill climbing. This works a completely different set of muscles and has helped tone up the flesh where the weight loss has occurred (back of the arms, chest, and my buns are finally catching up).

interestingly, there are a bunch of guys at my office who are weight training almost exclusively (they occasionally play b-ball). I can bound up the four stories and not be out of breath, these guys are huffing and puffing when they reach the top (I'm 10-15 years older than they are). And don't ask them to climb the143 steps (9-stories) of the parking deck.

I do vary my walks and intersperse it with treadmill work when the weather is unpleasant. But like the Energizer Bunny, i keep going, and going, and going....

I hate doing side planks.

And I've just had to look up what burpees are.

And I hate that I have to wear 2 bras (1 normal, 1 sports) for exercising.

I despise machines for weights (except for injury recovery). Want to get strong, barbells!

I am a pullupaholic. I can't walk past the jungle gym at the beach without doing a set.

I sort of like to showoff & do muscle ups as well. Just cause they're awesome

I own a set of 1kg dumbells...but I only use them for shadow boxing hehe.

I always check out people's running form when I'm out and about.

Yesss! and Yesss! Especially when I start to get bored while on the elliptical...then when the jealousy and admiration kick in, it reminds me why the heck I am at the gym in the first place!

Totally agree!

I do this also...it's terrible I know but I can't stop myself

I STILL have to do pushups on my knees. I don't know why but my triceps don't ever get stronger.

I hate running.

That "runners high" everyone talks about - total myth for me.

Sad about this as I really, REALLY wanted to like running :ohwell:
