My TOP 10 Things NOT to do at The Gym

Alright. I've been TERRIBLE at posting the last couple of weeks and really don't have an excuse other than I'm busy! As every other American Woman is.

I thought I would keep it "light and fluffy" this post. Here are some things that I've taken note of at my gym. I would like to point out that a) I'm a fairly sarcastic person & b) If you're sensitive to sarcasm - then don't take the time to read this post :)

Okay....So, as I said here are some thing to take note of to NOT do while working out at the gym - I'll narrow it down to My Top 10.

#10 - Clog the toilets in the locker rooms and pretend it never happened and refuse to report the issue - Seriously!! As a woman we all should know to clean up after ourselves!!

#9 - Sit buck naked in the sauna while rubbing yourself down with lotion - enough said!

#8 - Walking around the locker room from hot tub, sauna and toilets BUCK NAKED! The gym provides towels FREE of CHARGE - AS MANY AS YOU WANT!!! USE THEM!

#7 - Bring screaming children into the women's locker room - okay, I know this is a sensitive one - I have 4 kids somehow I manage to make sure mine don't scream....Didn't your mother teach you to use duck tape on them? JUST KIDDING!!! Really, kids don't bother me in the locker room - just the 4 year old boys that stare at me while I'm getting dressed.

#6 - Reading on the sofas and watching TV in the women's locker room for over 2 hours - I'm not sure why anyone pays $50/month to do this - did they think that because they were at a gym this would make them loose weight? Whether you eat bonbons at home or at the gym they are the same amount of calories :)

#5 - Reading the newspaper while sitting on the Leg Press Machine....What the??? Yes, I watched a woman read the newspaper while moving from one machine to the next for an hour. Do you know how many machines she used in 1 hour? 3!! I wonder how many calories she burned?

#4 - Hitting on people at the gym....first of all not a good idea to use pick up lines on people in the gym especially if their married! Go to a club!

#3 - Singing REALLY loud as if everyone else can hear what's on your IPod.....Not Cool!

#2 - Men using their towels to "save their spot" - Get real if your butts not on the bench you're not using it - I'm throwing your towel off and using it! (I had a guy get really angry when I did that - I just ignored him :)

#1 - Getting all "Ready" for the gym! There's a time to look like Barbie and going to the gym is not one of those times!

So, remember next time you go to the gym just take a look around and you'll find something that makes you laugh :)

  1. You forgot wearing VERY STRONG cologne or deodorant, etc. Like I want to suck in that smell while running intervals! GOOD LUCK!
