    I look irrationally angry when I'm on the treadmill.

    Also, when my best friend and I go to Zumba together we flail around like idiots and turn everything into club dancing. :)

    I usually run the warm up and cool down portions of our Aussie Rules football trainings, and I make the girls "shake the sillies out" as we do our cool down lap. It's really just a way to target tense muscles at the end of a serious training but it's hilarious and we've come up with some ridiculously awesome new dance moves.

    When I'm trying to finish out my last mile and I'm getting tired, I tend to say "C'mon Tiff!!!!!" over and over, and the more tired I am, the louder I tend to be. I'm sure the neighbors get a kick out of it.

    I don't go to the gym, but I jog outside on a busy main street. Cars are one right after another for my entire jog. And sometimes I'll realize that I'm jogging and smiling really big (looking like an idiot) because the song I'm listening to makes me feel totally empowered! haha. Oh to be able to watch myself sometimes! :)

    When I hit a PR, I announce it. Often with some combination of "that's right ", " yeah baby ", fist pump and or happy dance/wiggle. Doesn't matter who or how many others are in the gym.

    I mutter to myself under my breath a lot, normally when I have to wait to use a piece of equipment. I also found myself singing along with my i-pod today.

    If no one is around I sing out loud. This morning I had a great time working out and singing all my favorite Beyonce songs. If people are around I just mouth the words. I'm sure I look crazy, but who cares.

    I lip sync to my music and tend to dance around during "rest" periods between sets. Music also makes me break out in goofy smiles. :blushing:

    My plates must match...If I have a flat 10 lb. plate on one side I absolutely can not have the other side be a 10 lb-er that has the little holes in it.

    I stare at a random point on the floor or wall in between sets...like totally lost in thought or something. People give me **** for it regularly.

    I wear a long sleeve shirt every single leg day because I dont like the look of my un-pumped upper body in the mirrors...it's demotivating . /shrug

    I did an air guitar solo while I was running on the treadmill listening to November Rain by GNR. It was early and I thought I was the only one in the place. Couple of ladies using the ellipticals behind me got a good show!

    For some reason whenever I do any hard work out like lifting weights my face gives this really crazy expression like I'm in a lot of pain when I'm really not. I have no way of stopping myself from doing it. People have come up to me and asked me if I was okay LOL.

    I also do this, but sometimes I realize that point has become inhabited by another person or is the reflection of another person. It probably creeps people out!
