As I mentioned in part 1, to keep my mind off the misery of working out, I spend my time at the gym observing those around me. I've begun to label & categorize some of them...
Smelly Guy: I don't say this to be cruel... But dude, you stink. How can you not smell that? It's like a skunk ate a bunch of garlic and then set itself on fire. And then hopped on the treadmill. I'm struggling to catch my breath, and I haven't even started working out yet.
The Fashion Diva: They're not just here to work out... They are here to look good. From their shoes to their head band, they are color coordinated & shiny. And it's not just limited to the ladies... There are some guys there that are sportin' the look too.
Rebels Without A Clue: This is the three teenagers running around. And for some reason, it's always three of them. Not two, not four. They'll spend a few moments in the weight lifting area trying to see who can lift the most. And then they spend the rest of the time running around acting like idiots. There's an upside though. The dumber they act, the less likely they are to ever get the chance to breed & reproduce. So it works out.
The Mixologst: I'm not sure what these people are all about. They've got 55 gallon drums of a powder mix in their gym back and they spend a lot time mixing up these protein drinks. They say their goal is to get bigger. Shoot, I think a few Big Macs would do the job faster...
People Like Me: We range from chubby to really chubby. We are just there to erase the guilt of the donut binge from the night before. And we hope all of the work will show some results. After all, we are having to put up with these Gym People all around us.

There are so many types of people that are truly entertaining to watch at the gym. Sometimes when logging long times on the treadmill or bike, it's all you've got to help keep your sanity. I think the thing with three teens is that if they're two then one is always thinking the other looks like a tool, if there's four then it's just too crowded. but three....perfect number of tools

At least you have a gym to go to Todd.Of course if I had one I would have to come up with a number of excuses as to why I couldn't go. I applaud you for going though. People are interesting, though irritating at times. Its kind of fun to see the different personality types come out though. Keep on treadmilling buddy. Tom
I used to be one of those teens. And to be honest, there always was 3 of us.... hmmm I think you're on to something here.
