Mission 2, Day 66: Working hard or hardly working?

April 9, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment

(NOTE:  For some reason I am having trouble with my internet connection.  I have been writing these blog posts and posting them offline real time.  Hopefully the problem will be solved soon and I will be back to real time posts.)

Today was another great workout, but at the same time, I got very annoyed watching the people around me.  Why come to the gym if you are not going to work?  Why take up space that I could be using?  It is nothing short of annoying.

You would think that by coming to the gym early in the morning you would avoid this type of issue, but it happens.  People come in and stand around the machines and take up space.  You have to ask them to work in and half of them say no.  I say lift or go home.
