    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.

    Epic!

    Im the guy who doesn't talk to anyone while working out unless i know you (not because im a snob, but usually i intimidate people at the gym :ohwell: )

    I'm not ashamed to say that I sing along with the iPod on my rides. Also, I am that girl who will tell you to get off the cell phone if you're having a nice long (and usually loud) chat on the treadmill next to me...if you're on the phone, you're not working out and you might as well just go to the lounge! It distracts me and is a huge gym pet peeve. >: |
    I've answered my phone while on the elliptical. I don't have a full on conversation, but I've chatted for a minute or two. If someone told me to get off my phone, I'd just give them a dirty look and keep talking. That's just rude. I wouldn't go up to the person who has their elliptical on 1 and is reading a magazine and tell them to go sit in the lounge because they're not working out, because it's not my business!

    I'm not talking about a one-minute chat...I'm talking about long, loud 30 minute conversations that most likely should not be held in the gym. Believe me, this has happened. And I do try to mind my own business, but if you're being so disruptive that I can hear you over my music I am going to say something. But thanks anyway for moving the goalposts and misconstruing my post.

    I do the same thing. And I play the imaginary drums while walking on the treadmill too! LOL I'm also the germaphobe who cleans every piece of equipment, including dumbbells and weight plates, before and after I use them.

    Air Drums!!= Awesome!!

    I also air drum, but I usually reserve that for when I am running outside, my favorite song to airdrum to is anything by the foo fighters

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

    EEEEW! :tongue:

    At least I wipe it down, when I'm done though, do I get a gold star for that. There are a few things that disgust me, one is when people don't wipe down the equipment and two, people that leave the stall of the bathroom and don't wash their hands. I make a mental note never to shake that person's hand.

    OK, I do something real strange at the gym, and some have caught me doing it.
    I go in the aerobics room when it's slow and nobody else is in there.

    I close the door and dim the lights:noway:

    And I skip.
    You know? Like when we were kids - skipping.
    I do it for cardio, and I look like a total fool - somebody a few cards short of a full deck.

    It's just so much fun and a great break in the routine. It really works the heart and lungs.

    Sorry about this...:flowerforyou:

    OMG thats AWESOME!! It is TONS of fun and Great Cardio! My husband used to try to get me to skip on the track when we were walking laps but I was always too embarrassed to do it with him. I used to love skipping as a kid, you got places FASTER than if you were just walking!

    You GO!!! Maybe you should suggest it to the club to offer a "skipping" class in the aerobics room for open cardio. You never know, you might start a whole new FAD!!!!

    im the one that hogs a specific treadmill/elliptical and tries to secretly "restart" the treadmill on my longer runs, as to not go over my time limit. Even though i hate running on the treadmill- if i have to, i definitely try to "secretly" hog the machines LOL. ahh

    That's me too, ill keep running in place even when the treadmill stops while im resetting it. (Pretty sure everyone can clearly see what I'm doing)
