Maybe others feel the same way I do. 1) cell phones in the gym, come on people, is it that urgent that you have to take calls in the gym. We all realize how important you are..lol. 2) people who sit on machines and rest for 5-10min are annoying...if you have to rest..... get off!!! 3) Last don't do cardio first and then lift weights.....please.

Do your cardio and weights in any order you desire, but wipe your sweat off the machines when you are done. -------------- Challenge + Consistency = Results

The gym where I go is not a "meet market", we are all a little older but you still see those with the cell phones plastered to their ear!!! And resting on the machines, if it is between sets ok, but don't sit down there forever. I needed to get on the leg press the other day and I did several other exercises and still was not able to get on it because there was a lady just sitting there, TALKING on her cell phones!!!! -------------- Gramma

What crack me up is the guys that put to much weight on the machine pulldowns and are lifting out of the seat in order to pull the weight down, what kind of form is that and what are you working. -------------- "life is what you make it 10% of how you take it"

I go to Gold's gym, and its mostly a body builder's gym..but their are those few people that just aren't as serious about workouts. Not to offend anyone who does these irritating things regularly, but if that is you..maybe Bally's or Lifetime is the gym for you.

Man that stinks! lol -------------- IF YOU CAN STILL ITCH YOUR NOSE AFTER ARM DAY, GO DO ANOTHER SET!!!

asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2003/04/09, 08:42 PM No, you are not wrong. the warmup protects your muscles, tendons and ligaments (not to mention your heart). And the cool down helps facilitate lactic acid removal from your muscles. -------------- Challenge + Consistency = Results
