Oooh, the chest press! I did those this morning at the gym. And I can do them with 25-lb. dumbbells now! I felt like a bad ass once I realized I could upgrade from the 20-pounders.

@ Rocco – that is funny. I have never seen that at the gym before.

@IzzyBeth – I have short legs too, so I find myself touching the handles every now and then, just in case.

@TOSP – how’s kettlebells? Do you find it more effective than dumbbells? Or is it the fun factor?

I been waiting to get through this DDR craze right now. Since purchasing the game for the Wii, I know that I have neglected my regular routine because I want to pass all the levels. Every evening, I play that game for at least an hour (usually more). Sometimes I realize that am getting little obsessive with this game, but it is so fun.

I have to agree with most of the commenters here, especially with Crabby. And LOL at Rocco’s story (he has a great site BTW–thanks for posting that earlier).

My pet peeve: people more concerned with what they are reading while they do their “cardio” rather than the workout itself. I’m probably gonna rub someone the wrong way, but find an effective way to get through your workouts. Maybe thinking about your goals or how great you will feel after you’re done will help

Since starting with kettlebells I have been able to avoid the gym … and it scariness of bad form and death defying tradmill experiences … but seriously weightlifting gloves on a treadmill … did she flex her fingers before she started … she might strain something pushing the start button.

All of you kill me. I was in Albuquerque over the weekend and had to visit a health club and literally saw a women leaning over, resting her arms and head on the the Stairmaster with her back and legs at a 90 degree angle. She told me she has been doing that for the past 2 years everyday and still can’t lose the fat around her belly.

I tried to explain that she wasn’t expending any energy as she was moving her legs about 3 inches within her 14 or so inches of range of motion. She didn’t get it. I wish I had taken a photo because it would have been the perfect “How not to do something”.

One thing that drives me crazy is bad form…When I see people with bad form, I wince not because they look ridiculous but because I’m afraid that they might hurt themselves.

I would love to give an advice but I usually don’t. I try to mind my business when I’m working out.
