Well I know the title says it all... But seriously, are the people at the gym that into themselves that they just don't give a rats ass about anyone else??? Let me start with my trip to the gym yesterday...
I do my 10 min warm up on the treadmill and go to use the free motion squat machine (love this machine), but another person has a towel on it, so I wait a few minutes and realize she has a towel on each and every free motion machine, now mind you this is not a class, that is why I waited until 10 am to get to the gym, then the class that uses these machines are done and gone. So I ask the girl if I can work in my 3 sets of squats and I get the most horrible glare, no response, so I just take her towel off of the squat machine and begin my workout. She never said anything to me which speaks VOLUMES!!! Seriously how rude can you get, these machines are not yours....
Anyway I move onto the rest of my workout which was very good. I was sweating buckets!!!! Now when I did the dead lift, I think I may have used the WRONG bar, it may have been a heavier one, not that I had a really hard time doing my reps, but boy today can I feel it!!!! So next week on my rotation I'll have to be a tad more careful on the bar I use.
On to my next pet peeve. I'm on one of the rowing machines (not the one where you move back and forth, the stationary one) and a woman sits on the one next to me, different brand, and literally sits on it side saddle staring at me. Pretty obvious she wants to use the machine. So I of course have my iPod going and I close my eyes and finish my sets, wipe down the machine and leave and when I look back the woman is now on the machine. I'm not sure if she was trying to intimidate me into hurrying up or what??? But you all know I don't roll that way.
So for my cardio I only did 20 min, I'm going to work up to 30 min and more down the road. I started by doing 5 min on the elliptical and then 5 min on the treadmill and then 5 min on the upright bike (boy did the seat hurt!!) and then 5 more min on the elliptical. One thing I was bummed about was I didn't get to stretch!!!! I look forward to that part of the workout big time. But I looked at the time and new I had to get the kids and get them lunch. Even if I had started stretching I wouldn't have been able to finish, because as I was walking down the stairs I was paged for a poopie diaper, another one of my pet peeves, lol.
All in all it was a great workout!!! Sweated a ton!!! AC/DC and Aerosmith are two of my favorite bands to do cardio to, they just really keep you moving and pushing yourself to keep up with them, AWESOME!!!
Tomorrow I will do rotation 2 and am looking forward to it. Now when I did my squats yesterday I may have had my feet placed poorly during one of my sets because now my right hip hurts, but hopefully by not doing them today I'll be good to go with my lunges tomorrow.
So what are your gym pet peeves...???
