I am proud of myself today for doing 135 squats!
Before I go into my workout….
I have to tell you all the interesting people I saw at the gym today:
1. Blue smurf man- baby blue shirt and shorts, a NO, NO!
2. Grey sweats lady- this is just ugly
3. anorixic big boob lady- she is 5 feet tall 60 pounds and d boobs, lol
4. bicep man- only works biceps and they are BIG!
5. old man rocker (long curly hair with earings)- this man did not look right in workout clothes…he’d been better off wearing leather pants to the gym
6. jeans/birkinstock girl- she was having a blast playing on the elliptical next to me

You are the squat queen
thanks Karen, but I know there are MANY women who deserve that title besides me
The gym is a great place to people watch!
yep, all sorts of interesting folks…I wonder what they think about my crazy self, lol!
I love people watching!
hahaha!!!
How funny is people in your gym!
Wow great leg workout!
Wasn’t able to do my cardio workout as hoped last night but todays a new day! While my daughter is at dance I’ll get a good leg, butt and abs workout!!
I need to start opening my eyes at the gym to my surroundings! Sounds like it could be a lot of fun!
LOL!! fun is all around you!
LOL! I’m glad I’m not the only one who give nicknames to people at the gym! I seem to see the same group of people and since I don’t know their real names it’s fun to make up nicknames for them.
Love to people watch too and holy cow on the lunges! It makes my leg workout last night look like a walk in the park! Oy! I have a long way to go…I’m sore from my walk in the park!
it always amazes me what people wear to the gym- i always have to stop and stare, its too much fun. Also the synergy is great- sometimes i find i push myself that extra bit just by incorporating what others are doing and how hard they are pushing themselves. I had to hide my scale last night it is becoming an obsession.
Very scared of gym!
I like to people watch at the Gym too. especially ones that are really in shape. I like to see what they are doing and it helps motivate me to push a little harder!
Oh yeah!! the synergy (energy from others) at the gym is so inspiring…it’s part of why I find it easiest to workout in a gym setting.
Still keeping on! Eventho I hate working legs, I must admit I feel as tho I’m losing my enemy, cellulite, off of them!!
I’ve been having my son join me on daily bike rides and he loves it. Its great for getting all that energy out of him!
People are funny arent they! I always love mr. Bicep man…:-) I try to keep my kids moving. It is so important. They all love being outside scootering hikking playing soccer basketball baseball and they even like jumping in with my home workouts. Start young and you will have life long active kids.
That’s alot of squats! Maybe I’ll try that one day! I haven’t been successful in getting my 19 yr. old to exercise regularly (he’s thin and just isn’t motivated to spend time that way) but my 8 yr. old son does like to run with me sometimes and loves to play outside, we play basketball, badmitton, and tennis currently since he is learning that in PE.
