At the gym I do intervals on the treadmill so either I'm raising the incline a few times or running and walking in my session and I can fell the eyes on the people next to me probably thinking what the hell is she doing! :noway: :laugh: I laugh inside because I think wow you (person next to me or behind me) are just walking or running at your regular pace for the whole time your on a cardio machine probably not knowing that their bodies get used to that activity really quickly and it's not a challenging cardio session. Intervals are a great workout for a fat burning cardio session... Thought I'd share my day at the gym..

    LOL. I do the same thing too. I get occasional funny looks, but for the most part ppl mind their own business.

    About the lady asking about running uphill on the elliptical.. that's too funny.

    I get that too! Especially when I walk backwards on the treadmill
