Guys in the Gym

Sista Africa · (#1 (**permalink**))

How many of you gals out there get 'interference' from guys in the gym. I mean those big hulky Freddy types (Flintstone I mean not you Mr Black before you jump on my case) who thing they know what they're doing but judging by their distorted physic they haven't got a clue

9 times out of 10 when I'm in the gym they're in my face telling me I've got it all wrong and offering me their 'assistance'

Now why they should think they with their chicken calves should be able to give me with my thunder thighs advice on how to shape up is anyone's guess

So to any of you guys who see me in the gym next time, just leave me to exercise my 'ting' (you can meet up with me in the bar afterwards though if you like)

@Sister Africa

If you think that guys in the gym are bad dont ever get yourself a personal trainer!!!

They think they know it All!

And Soooo Dont!!!

A friend of mine who is a personal trainer told me that the problem with them is that they are usually at the peak of physical fitness. So they get all obsessed with Your body instead, and will literally Take over and wanna control Everything you do in their quest for Your physical excellence....

Man are they Tough on ya banana.gif

Sometimes I see women fannying around in the gym wasting time and it winds me up.

Twowomen sitting on exercise bikes chatting nicely... CHATTING!! you should be outta breath, you shouldn't be able to chat! come off da ting an let me use it hmph!

A woman on the pec dec ting with 5kg or 10kg.... Be serious woman! you lift more than that on your way home from the supermarket! This applys to many weights even benching but I espcially notice this...

Taking up the punching bag with lil girly slaps while chatting.... what is it with the chatting? shut up and worl out so I can have my turn.

Most women are good in a gym and do their thing and get onwith it but some people... I dunno why some people even bother! what do you get out of half hearted measures, NOTHING! Im the kind of person when I see nonsense thats affecting me I must say something.... I must. I don't 'know it all' but some don't know a damn thing.

There is this man at my gym who looks a bit like a water buffalo (Upper body), and has a broomsticks for legs, every time I see him he comes over trying to do a Mr Motivator.... Leave me the hell aloneâ€¦.

I donâ€™t want to be rude so I havenâ€™t said anything however, I usually completely ignore him but he doesnâ€™t seem to get it. I think he thinks he is the business, thatâ€™s why he comes around offering unwanted advice.

Ummm I know what you mean! Especially when the gym is busy, they just seat there taking up space. Men do the same as well, may be you can answer this actuallyâ€¦.

LOL People watch themselves in the mirror while they doing exercise to make sure their form is correct and the body isn't swinging about. I haven't actually seen anyone blatantly flexing in the gym floor while not doing anything before ha ha ha.How embarassing! Normally they do that in the changing room and it cracks me up!

I know what you mean about the skinny men that show off though... they're entertainment!!

This is disgusting, but one day at the gymn some guy was trying to lift some heavy looking weights and he was squating and you can tell he was struggling going all red , sweaty and ting, but what makes it worse is that after he tried to lift the weight above his head he let off the loudest rumblist smelliest fart , that put me off gymns

what i cannot understand is women who pay Â£50 a month amembership just to WALK on the treadmill for 1hrGET OUT OUT pls

The Watcher · (#10 (**permalink**))

Easy to understand.... they are there to gossip and pick up men!! Or they delude themselves into believing that merely walking into thebuilding and breathin the magic air will make them fit.

You can tell them by the designer gear they wear and the amount of time they spend making sure they look the part.

What price range are we talking about for a gym membership?

Do they have special offers, discounts etc?

Anyone know any good gyms?

Or should I just get some tapes/equipment and workout in the comfort of my own home?

The Watcher · (#12 (**permalink**))

My best advice???

I only go gym for weights and hit bag you don't wanna look like a dude so....

By a bike and ditch the car! Made me fit and it was fun. DO NOT JOG!!

Jogging is an impact thing, the knees suffer a lot in later life. Swimming is good (but the kids in the water are nasty). Thats why I cycle. Do it everywhere and it doesn't become a chore, its just normal. Cycle to your friends, to work, to get the paper etc etc becomes like second nature after a while.

Cheaper in the long run too.

Iuse to have a bike, butI stopped using it and my uncle has it now!I use to swim then that stopped. (I think a lot of sistas don't swim because of the hair thing).I wouldn't jog, as you said the impact on thejoints will affect me later. It's a shame cos I liked skipping.

sounds good, thanks @DMniceone.gif
