Working on my fitness

Okay so I went to the gym today....yes yes thank you thank you!!! It was an 'interesting' experience. So on the upper deck there are treadmills, bikes, elliptical machines, you know, that kind of stuff. The lower floor is covered with weight machines and there are racquetball courts and a basketball court and a pool. Anyways, as I was running on one of the treadmills (for my warm-up) I was looking at people on the lower deck and seeing what they were doing and trying to make a mental map of what machines I wanted to use so I didn't have to go down there and wander through the machines looking like a dork. so I'm running and I looked down and there's this guy who I know from high school. We weren't friends, but we weren't enemies just to let you know. I had to tell myself this in case he happened to see me that way I wouldn't be dumb and turn and walk away but actually say "Hi how are you?" I was on the treadmill for about 30 minutes and I watched "Adam" (that's what I'm naming him for the sake of the story) workout. Let me explain to you his method of working out. "I'll try this....one two...okay!!! I need a drink." Then back to the same machine. "I think I need to try a higher weight. I'll move it down one. One... tw...oh no put it down!! Put it down!!!! I think I need to umm uhhh stretch. Yeah that'll help!" Awkward stretching....swinging his arms around frantically. "Okay. One....twwwwwwwo. Okay ya that was a good one....I think I could do a little more weight." He then moved it down a few notches and walked away from the machine....never returning. It was like this with every machine he tried. It must have been an off day for him. But then I got to thinking....well how dumb am I???!!! I've been running on a stupid treadmill for 30 minutes!!!! So to prove my strength and durability I moved to the...............................................................................................................................STATIONARY BIKE!!!!!!!

I like my privacy when I sweat and look like a ---- well I know I don't look to great in work out clothes. I imagine I look like one of the ladies on biggest loser. You go girl! Good luck with the workouts. I like your clean teeth outlook.

Oh boy, I love working out at a gym because seeing people not like him but people fit and toned and looking good, motivate me...I know kind of weird but..at least you had something to do while you were jogging. Its funny how much I have to be entertained while working out...tv..ipod...looking around at people...getting a drink...well good luck and good job!
