WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS

AT THE GYM

   I  have been putting in about 2.25 hours a day in the gym or on the bike lately. And it feels good. The goal is to get these workouts up to 3 hours over the next 3-4 weeks. Gonna have to add another activity to make it happen while I increase the intensity on the ones I currently use to workout.


   I have been spending a lot more time at the gym the last few weeks and a few things bother me about the people at  the gym

SUNGLASSES
     Really? At the Gym? I know there is a lot of daylight that spills into the upper floor of the gym I go to but It ain't that bright. I saw two people today that were wearing there sunglasses on while using various cardio equipment. I guess you just can't be too cool.

TALKING

     Why is it that people feel as thought they need to talk loud enough for people on the surrounding 20 machines to hear them. This girl hopped on the machine right next to me and proceeded to yammer on for like 10 minutes. I don't think she actually took a breath until she left that machine and finally started to workout on a stair master 3 rows away. Did I mention she wasn't even working out on the machine next to me. Just shut up and workout. I just feel like starting to talk and sing really loud so that these people have to listen to me while they are trying to talk.

HEADPHONES

    This one is not a problem just a question. Have you seen the number of people wearing these new fangled DR. Dre sponsored head phones (I even saw Siegfried of Siegfried & Roy fame wearing these). If I am right these things are pretty damn expensive. I know I wouldn't be wearing something this expensive while I am sweating like a pig. Maybe that's the key, they aren't really working out. They're just pretending to workout. How much better can the sound be than my $10 Sony head phones actually be while I am working out.
