Having a fit lifestyle is definitely attaining worldwide prominence from various walks of life, and these observations may have been the ones that bought about this growth. Do you think putting up big signs and banners inside a gym delivering subtle hints to make people guilty about texting while on the machines would work? Haha! Anyway, this are very welcome observations! Stay fit at keep on burning those cupcakes!<br /><br /><a href="http://infighting.ca/" rel="nofollow"> Ari @ InFighting</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07099949019196702695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-7953698249647092652014-04-10T12:05:03.386-04:002014-04-10T12:05:03.386-04:00YESSS. so true.

So I was not all that surprised when I would turn around from my treadmill only to find him lying down on a weight bench watching ESPN on TV.

Because he was a good sport, he would come with me whether he felt like it or not, but on tired days, he would sit and watch tv in a little lounge area, or "stretch" for 30 minutes, or just sit on a bench and fall asleep - all in his workout clothes, ha!

Rests between sets are totally understandable.

When I actually had a gym membership (a thousand years ago, give or take), smart phones weren't a thing, so I don't remember the texting/surfing being the issue I can imagine it is now. There was, however, a woman, who dressed like she had come straight from the set of Olivia Newton John's "Let's Get Physical" video--and this was in 2006. I nicknamed her "1984". If only my dinky phone had had a camera back then...Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11953709531604551413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-25241615197109287632014-04-08T09:36:09.728-04:002014-04-08T09:36:09.728-04:00I feel like I need photos of this.

So I do a lift 10 times and then take a break in between sets and will just glance at my phone during the rest. You have to give your body a good :60 or so in between each set and there's not a lot you can do during that time! Now.... if you're talking about someone sitting there for a long time texting, then I'm with you! Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16445845152884940273noreply@blogger.com
