Larry and I did our cardio last night at Gold's in Old Bridge. They have a cardio movie room designed specifically with Larry in mind. He can do 45 minutes of cardio in there like it is nothing! I am so proud of him!! I have to stay out of that room - it makes me sick. I actually fell off the back of the treadmill in there because I was too into the movie. (Must have been a Brad Pitt movie or something... LOL)
One thing did bug me last night at the gym though and I just have to say it. Forgive the rant, but if you cannot rant on your own blog, where can you rant??
I know a lot of people are new to the gym at the beginning of the year, and I hope many stick with it. But for god's sake, if you are coming to the gym, don't sit on the squat rack bar like an idiot and talk up all the "girls" in the gym. Last night some guy, thinking he was all that and a bag of popcorn, had his butt on the squat bar for about 10 minutes. Since Gold's in Old Bridge only has one squat rack, I finally had to go over and ask if he was "using" it. He looked at me like I had three heads and said no. DUH! I know he was not using it - unless it was a new ass exercise I am completely unfamiliar with. :) I actually think he thought I was hitting on him. Well, I wanted to hit him, but not in the way he thought!! (And how anyone can think I am hitting on them in the gym is beyond me. I go in looking like a complete idiot - with a big sweatshirt, stupid looking hat and leave me alone attitude.)
Ok - rant over and I feel much better.
But in general to all you new gym members. Go in with your head high and get in there. Most gym rats are more than happy to help you if you need it, and don't mind you being there as long as you are doing something and trying. (And if some do mind - so what. You have the right to be there. So don't be afraid to "exercise" those rights! Keep it up and next year you will be the gym rat!)
Stay healthy!
