Umm, yes on the actual question, and yes on the implied question.
Well, actually...I like to watch HER...but either way a mirror is required lol.0 -
Yeah, I check my form in the reflection in the windows, lol. Oh, and to make sure my hair and makeup still look fresh :bigsmile:0

Obilgatory...

Yes I like to have a mirror when I work out. It's really helpful.0

Absolutely hate it but I admit that I do use the mirrors to ensure I have correct form. Although, now the weight is dropping and my shape is changing it isn't as horrifying as it used to be.0
-
Yes. Especially deadlifts!0
-
haha nice eye grabber OP! Definitely nice to see all the hard working muscles and form. It's nice to see your work paying off! I just do the admiring a little bit when no ones looking so I don't look like THAT db.0

I enjoy seeing my muscles flex at my max lifts. Call it vain or whatever but it sure turns me on! lol . Mostly it's about seeing progress, that tiny bit of definition I've worked weeks for, makes it all worth it0

sometimes i catch my reflection in the back of a spoon and i don't even make it to the gym mirrors :P0

I think using a mirror has a bad effect on your position especially the head. I think it is better to record yourself in action and then watch it back.0

i do this a lot when i'm doing Kenpo X, just reminds me of shadow boxing, I want to make sure i'm givin er u know? not just going along with the movements.0

Our home gym has mirrors on all walls.
I like watching myself and seeing the muscles I am developing!

I used to hate looking at myself because of how heavy I was (and still think I am).
However, my trainer finally convinced me to get the max benefit from lifting I really need to make sure my form is proper. So while I still dislike it I do indeed look at myself now.
As for the double entendre query I am still trying to convimce the wife we need more mirrors...0 -
I run outside so I check myself out in windows. Mostly to check up on how my legs are doing. That's mostly in the first half though, because I look tired and much slower on the way back!0

I think that this is especially true when squatting. Facing away from the mirror is best.0 -
I make weird noises too....so I use headphones so I dont have to hear myself....and lots of heavy breathing!0

YES! I love watching my form and facial expressiong. Extra points for beads os sweat.0
-
Wow I hope weq are talking about excercise. LOL..But looking at yourself helps to see what your doing and working on.0
-
Title threw me up... :grumble: :laugh:
When i'm lifting .. yes
cardio.. not necc0 -
I actually do. I don't stare at myself the entire time, but I do a quick mirror check to make sure my form and posture are okay. I've always had bad posture, and I wanna keep that out of my work-outs!
There are definitely times when I don't wanna see myself working out, though! (Squats don't make me look purty) :laugh:0 -
I like it with the lights off.
What? That's not what we're talking about?
Yes. With mirrors.0
