Vote in This Week’s Poll: What’s your gym persona?
My favorite part of going to the gym is people-watching because, well, what better workout distraction is there? I know it's wrong, but I even secretly give people nicknames as I watch them workout. There's Jackrabbit Lady, who holds onto the elliptical for dear life while her legs pump faster than the human eye can detect. There's Crazy Hair, the guy with an incredible head of dark, curly hair sticking out every which way. Then there's The Reader, a man who reads thick, heavy books while he rides the stationary bike for hours. If someone were to nickname me, it would probably be The Woman Who Stares At Others and Should Concentrate On Her Own Workouts. Everyone does their own thing at the gym. Some people come for the classes, others come for the machines and still others haven't ventured beyond the pool in years. Some come packed as though they're moving in while others show up with nothing more than a water bottle and an iPod. I'm curious about you. What's your gym persona? Vote in this week's poll and leave a comment telling us what kind of gym-goer you are. <SCRIPT LANGUAGE= "javaScript" SRC="http://guidepolls.about.com/exercise/8147350552/poll.js?linkback="> Vote in This Week's Poll: What's your gym persona? originally appeared on About.com Exercise on Monday, March 22nd, 2010 at 05:00:16.Permalink | Comment | Email this
