You list the gyms address and phone number as a contact0

for me your addicted when you plan your next day workout during sleep0
-
you start counting everything in sets of 3
you find yourself doing calf raises while waiting in line
if you happen to pick up anything more than 10lbs, you start to do bicep curls0 -
I wouldn't call myself addicted to working out, but this is growing so much on me that it amazes me more every day.
Up until three weeks ago I wouldn't do ANYTHING even remotely similar to exercise, not even walking as long as I had no other option. And now, I'm going to tae-bo and zumba five times a week and every time the classes end I feel like I want more.. Because it makes me feel so much more powerful, so much more flexible, lighter, energetic, cheerful! It's great, I would have never ever ever though that I would feel like that about working out0 -
Even on a 'rest' day you find yourself feeling guilty because you aren't at the gym. I literally drive myself crazy thinking about how I should be there right now. In fact...I'll probably go and do cardio just for fun.0

It is you rest day and you think "I will just do a little workout".0
-
Your workout clothes fill an entire load when you do laundry.0
-
you know you're addicted when you get a thrill out of sore muscles the day after a hard workout0

Picking going to the gym over hanging out with her.0
-
i feel so bad when i dont workout. infact today im sick and have a 38 degrees fever but i did a 12 minute jog on the treadmill0
-
Hearing a song from your workout mix and fantasizing about a long run after work. (This is only considered an addiction if you've already worked out twice in said day.)0
-
When you HAVE to workout because you dont feel that 'workout feeling' during the day.....0
-
Definitely the laundry thing. Damn, I hate that.0

Hating "rest days"0

I have gym class schedules hanging in my room, in my car, and in my purse and an extra set of workout clothes in my car...you know just incase I can fit in an extra workout for the day0

It's all you wanna talk about with anybody else.0

Your husband offers to let you sleep in after a night of cards and drinking, and instead you wake up at 5:30 to get in a run before the hangover hits.0
-
- I let some of the people who are bound to call me or text me (like my parents, brothers, etc) know I am about to workout so they wont call me and interrupt me while I am working out
- I would extend my workout, if I think there wasnt enough sweat on my sports bra, shirt, back, face, etc. My motto is, "If there isnt ENOUGH sweat on my body or clothes, then I didnt work hard ENOUGH."
- When I get out my clothes for the next day...........and also get out my workout clothes for the next day (takes me a while to decide what I'll be wearing. I like to look like a cute athlete, especially when I go to my jogging class) :laugh:0 -

Your gym is closed for a few days and you turn into a psycho.
Driving by to see if the lights are back on.
Calling every hour for an update.
Then being the first one through the door when it re-opened this morning.
Like the mother ship called me home.0 -

This would be me. I'm sore as hell can barely sit on the toilet with out yell OUCH-OUCH-OUCH and I'm about to take my sore behind to the gym and do a cardio and ab workout. I LOVE IT!0 -
I get butterflies in my stomach when I am getting ready to run a brand new route.0
-
I also wake up at 4 am for the gym....and by mid day...I WANNA GO BACK!0
-
You workout daily and rest day is a cuss word for you.0

This....Everyday :laugh: Everyone who calls & gets no answer knows that I am working out if I don't answer either phone. :laugh:0 -

Or when you are getting everything ready on a Sunday and instead of planning your work outfits you are planning your workout outfits.0
