I've been going to the gym every other day for over a week now. Super proud of my self. 17kg ish to lose.
Anyway, I went this morning and because I get enough cardio during the day via walking to and from work, also I'm a nurse, I usually focus on the resistance equipment.
I've noticed most people mind their own business. They're there to get fit and nothing more. Then there's the odd cat-walk girl; you know, the one that walks from the bathroom through the gym and back way too often. She wants to be seen. Then there must be the girls who want to bully, I guess, because I had just sat down on a piece of equipment and straight away I noticed a woman giving me the stink-eye. She approaches me a minute later. "Excuse me, ummmm, how many reps have you got lefffffft?"
Being one of the biggest women in the gym, I don't like a lot of attention. It takes a lot of courage just to show up, so I don't want to get on anyone's bad side. It's still all unfamiliar territory and I haven't learned gym etiquette yet. So I smiled and said, "one more?" Even though I'd litterly just sat down.
So I do my one and only rep on this equipment before getting up and wiping it down, gesturing to the woman that it's all hers and move on to the next equipment.
I noticed the woman doesn't get onto the of equipment she'd hurried me off. Just stands next to it on her phone for about ten minutes before walking off. Not to be seen again.
What's the deal?
