Inspiration

I don't mean to sound like a pervert, but does anyone else find inspiration from working out next to someone attractive? I always feel that extra bit of motivation when I'm at the gym and an attractive woman is working out near by.

    This can be fixed. I tried to help.

    HAHAHAHA @TheRoadDog

    To answer your question, YES. Definitely. Guys or girls. I don't work out at the gym but I bike 20 miles a day. If I see a hot guy/girl it always makes me go faster. Sometimes the thought of people checking ME out make me go faster too! I once beat my fastest time when I knew there was a hot guy riding behind me.

    Not me! I'm extremely shy when it comes to meeting new people. I like to ogle the attractive guys from across the weigh room or a few machines away.

    This is how I made it through basic training ... I would just find the most attractive female and run in next to her..

    I'm sure he was inspired too.

    Yes/no. If there is a cute girl that is flying past me on a bike I'll try to keep up. When I'm at the gym I don't really care. I'm not there for them, I'm there for me. And as far as I'm worried I feel like Gyms are just public breeding grounds... most of the guys/girls there are at the gym for eye candy and to be eye candy.

    I find it intimadating. I think they must be thinking why is this person here. I try to stay far away from people but especially the attractive ones.
