Observations from the Gym

• People (mostly guys) who wear jeans, cargo shorts or work boots to work out. How could that possibly be comfortable?
• Spandex (need I say more?!)
• People who use the weight machines and put so much weight on the machine that when they go to lift, it is so heavy that they are literally lifted off the floor. If you are being lifted off the floor, clearly, it is too heavy for you.
• Women who go to the gym with freshly applied makeup and their hair done and their best jewelry on (I'm talking pearls here and not just earrings). Is that really necessary?
• People who spend a good 30 minutes riding the bike, but put forth so little effort that they aren't even sweating at the end. What's the point?
• The girl beside me on the treadmill who turned the speed up so fast that she couldn't run without basically putting her whole upper body on the railing and holding on tightly. Seriously?
