You wouldn't know it to see my bloated figure these days, but I used to have a major issue with exercise obsession. I worked out about 5-7 hours a day. I was in great shape. Somehow I don't miss any of it anymore (& I don't mind being significantly rounder these days, either.)Lana Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06975996208260144558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21880954.post-34647329853631048042011-05-24T21:49:25.938-05:002011-05-24T21:49:25.938-05:00As a society we have been neglecting the truly hea...As a society we have been neglecting the truly healthy alternatives to the gym - the gym, like everything else has been packaged and sold to us as the ultimate, desirable place to "get perfect"... <br />Once hooked on that narcissistic notion, there is no other way out but "plugging yourself onto the noise" and away form any good interaction/possible relationship - you may get happily laid in.... get your exercise, have fun maybe even loose a few inches here and there - but, you are to deep into someone else's program to get a life of your own...<br /><br />I'd say. Stay away from those places and .... you know!Alicia M B Ballard StudioGaleriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330807567104236747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21880954.post-12723554129396824802011-05-16T13:25:51.944-05:002011-05-16T13:25:51.944-05:00hhahahahhahha that's hilarious.

Like anything some days are better than others, however I never "hate" it; often I actually enjoy the workout. What does bother me however is the eye contact. My initial thought was..."what are YOU looking at ?!". But then again, if we made eye contact I was looking in your direction too. My routine is now to simply to go about my business, keep my head down and get out of there in under an hour.littlemikemackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13957237894182413164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21880954.post-89138586713190022032011-05-16T03:52:20.491-05:002011-05-16T03:52:20.491-05:00Eww …

The freedom to use it whenever I want, to dress inappropriately and to listen to whatever music I want makes a world of difference.<br />Plus the shower is just across the hall and there's only ever me in there.<br />I've had the gym a couple of years now so it's free! Yay!divehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938980502783421961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21880954.post-24249011398480862312011-05-16T03:32:38.654-05:002011-05-16T03:32:38.654-05:00I go to an all women's gym too but it is great...I go to an all women's gym too but it is great. And I do hate the people there to socialize and not work out. I put my iPod in my ears and listen to my music while working out. It is most efficient and effective that way.<br /><br />The only thing I hate about it is that they open at 8am and I would really love to work out before going to work.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04656558334718631275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21880954.post-88069212375422222382011-05-16T02:44:06.689-05:002011-05-16T02:44:06.689-05:00how i wish i can go to the gym everyday..nice shar...how i wish i can go to the gym everyday..nice sharing out here!It's mehttp://www.europetravelpad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21880954.post-26882179955833526682011-05-15T22:39:38.227-05:002011-05-15T22:39:38.227-05:00Oh gosh, I despise going to the gym.

Gah!<br /><br />In the past month, however, I have started going to zumba classes to keep in shape, which I like way better. It's mostly girls in the class and nobody stares at your lady parts...<br /><br />Have you tried zumba?Jennifer Fabuloushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521908385026885699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21880954.post-78981405300352143622011-05-15T20:44:10.384-05:002011-05-15T20:44:10.384-05:00Oh, the gym.

The weights area is hilarious because there's usually that ONE GUY who's lifting wayyyy too much and grunting like an animal and generally making a fool out of himself but no one's going to say anything because his guns are so big he could crush your head like an almond.JUST MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15663723046451628228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21880954.post-60639242475507591262011-05-15T11:10:53.715-05:002011-05-15T11:10:53.715-05:00I haven't been to a gym in years, since buying...I haven't been to a gym in years, since buying an elliptical.
