I really hate when people make fun of others holding the handlebars while using an incline. I used the incline for the first time the other day and yes, I held the bars.
And you know what? I was damn proud of myself for using the incline in the first place.
I would hate to think that there were people judging me while I was feeling so proud of myself.0 -
PLEASE for the love of god STOP cranking the treadmill to a ridiculous incline THEN HOLDING on to the bars/ handle for dear life!?!?!?! You are just CHEATING yourself!!!!!!! :devil:

You would have had a better workout if you would have gone flat with no incline and carrying your whole weight without holding on to the bars.
anyways you do look hot !!:devil:0 -
When I've just finished my lifting session, and someone on the treadmill tries to have a nice little chat with me.

No one asked you to admit whether you held onto the bars or not.. be proud that you wasted so much time getting a poor burn by cheating. Go for the elliptical, there you can hold onto the bars, free up the treadmill at the gym and still get a great workout!0 -
I find this entire thread to be negative and de-motivating.
I feel bad for the people who just started and have lower self-esteem but are out there making an effort only to know now that they are being judged by others.
Un-frigging-real.
You all must be so amazing.0 -

Did you really just tell her how to work out? To free up a treadmill at the gym? Seriously? Get a frigging life.0 -
I SO hear you! What the heck!? I was in the locker room after my work out the other day and AFTER this woman BATHS in body spray right next to the "Scent free enviroment" poster she says "I hope you aren't one of these people with 'allergies' " no no don't mind me I always gag water and cough this time of day LOL she was on her way UP TO her work out :P ...why? WHY DO THEY DO THAT? LOL0

People actually pay to be at the gym just like you do. I hope those judging others are really happy & offer to pay those people to workout then.... cause you all must be superior. Sorry but you people make me sick.
Agree.
This is a reason I hate going to the gym, people like this who judge others. We all go to the gym to be fit and stay fit. You guys snarky remarks make poeple who already have confidence issues hate themselves even more.
Be considerate.0 -

Everyone starts at a different level! Handles or not they're still working out.
Get off your high horse.0 -

Went to the gym last night and lifted...when I finished my session, I walked over to the treadmill to do my usual 20 minute cool down before my stretch. I thought about this thread...and made sure that I walked exactly 2.5 MPH...I played air guitar and air drums to the music coming out of my ear buds...I did rocky type boxing, etc...I was really hoping to annoy some cardio bunnies, but they all either seemed too involved in what they were doing or actually gave me thumbs up and stuff....I was disappointed that I couldn't annoy anyone to the level of having to post a thread on the internet about how much I annoyed them.0

When people are paying more attention to what you are doing, than what they are doing themselves.
Isn't that why you lot are doing?
May I suggest a healthy dose of 'Mind your own business and crack on with your own workout'
Woah...why am I getting called out? If you would have read my original post of this you would have known that I do mind my own business.0 -

I am sorry. But if the hand rails weren't meant to be used on the treadmills then they wouldnt' have them in the first place. If people want to use them, more power to them.0 -
People running backwards or doing sidesteps on the treadmill..Really?.Waiting for the big injury lawsuit because nobody told them it was stupid and dangerous.0

How is stating someone wears enough perfume to make you sick judging others?0 -

I do that on my TM at home. I also do walking lunges. It's a great workout.0 -

And then they incline it to the moon and hang on to NOT the rails BUT the actaul apparatus that counts calories, time, distance etc....that thing was not meant for people to hang on to!0 -

You clearly stated the hand rails....so which is it? What is your argument? The hand rails or the apparatus (which is called a display in case you didn't know).0 -
This is one of the reasons I dodn't go to the gym. I run outside. So if you (judging people) don't like the way I run or .. you name it... I don't give a s#@%
Nothing will ever keep me from the gym and my health. But I love your attitude!! I don't give a $&^& what they think of me either... :glasses:0 -

Best to keep quiet and have us think you are an idiot, then to type a response like "injury lawsuit" did and confirm it.0 -
I hate when people run on it. Just go outside!0

I honestly try to stick up for the people who have heavy foot steps, or use the hand rails, etc.. Why? Because they are trying. People seem to think that the only people on this site are the fit and fabulous. They seem to forget that there are people here who have never exercised a day in their lives and are trying to change. Only to see a post like this that might scare them off. People preach and moan about how obese the US is...but don't do a damn thing or attribute to bullying...which ultimately only makes the problem worse.
Good on you for not giving up!0 -

I'm guessing she wears perfume to the gym.
if people are doing there thing, even if I think it's weird and stupid, I let them do it unless I think they are going to hurt themselves. Then I go get at trainer and have him observe them at which point he runs over to help them.
The perfume thing, on the other hand, is a real problem because you are then negatively affecting MY workout. And that ain't cool.0 -
I've said it before and I'll say it again: If you are running on a treadmill, you are running and going nowhere and thus have no room to judge anyone.
On another note, I can't believe this thread rolled. People don't do 500 things on treadmills, much less 500 annoying things.0 -

Never said I did it, did I? Might want to learn a little reading comprehension. Only said it was an honest workout. And sorry, but you can't have a lawsuit against a gym for something like that. Might want to read the fine print on the papers you signed.0
