    I'm the one who finishes 3 sets of bicep curls...then flexes in the mirror and grabs the biceps and smiles at how much better they look now, lol.

    I'm also the one that drops the barbell after doing deadlifts. It's heavy. You'll get over it.

    Oh, and I'm also the one in the ratty thrift-store workout clothes because I really couldn't give a rat's *kitten* what you think about how I look when I'm gettin' my sweat on.

    Ha, that's awesome! I work out in my everyday clothes: jeans, t-shirt, and sneakers. I'm too broke to buy a week's worth of cheap gear, and it bothers the hell out of everybody! Muahaha!

    It only bothers us because we are thinking about how much it would chaff our big butts...lolo

    And if you make eye contact with me, I will smile and wave, I don't care who you are.

    When I wave, I flail my arms around and swing my head all over like a maniac. It took my co-workers two months to get used to me doing this every time I saw them in the hallway. If complete strangers wave at me in public, I flail around too. I don't care about what other people think, it's too much fun to be absurd!

    I drop weights.

    Yep. I do. Not for show. Not because I'm lifting too much. But sometimes at the end of a set of an intense workout, I am done, and drop it (rubber plates onto a rubber floor). And sometimes when I'm figuring out a new 5 rep max on a deadlift I drop it because I realize on rep #5 I can't set it down properly, or I'm going for a clean and I fail. It's part of the learning process - this is entirely different from just trying to lift way more than you know you can.

    Luckily, no one at my gym cares.

    I also stand on my hands. I hear that's frowned upon at most gyms.
    I also take my shirt off when I get super hot.

    I also sweat all over the treadmill, the belt, the base, the handles, the screen, the whole thing needs to be wiped down.

    Make sure you get as sweaty as humanly possible and then immediately hug a family member. If you do not do this, I will never forgive you.

    I'm that annoying woman on the stairmaster or stationary bike next to you who mouths the words to the music I'm listening to on my I-Pod-- and occasionally accidentally sings out loud without realizing it.


    What annoying person are YOU ?!

    I do the same damned thing.....but I recently bought some Nike clothes just cuz I could get into them now.....

    I'm the one who, while walking on the treadmill, starts laughing out loud at the closed captioning during the Ellen Show or Kathie Lee and Hoda show or even ESPN. I love doing my cardio, so usually by the middle of my workout, I'm starting to get into a good mood, so I'm the annoying "smiley" girl sweating through my workout, just smiling and cheery for no reason.
