FYI, if you can talk on your cell phone while you are doing cardio, YOU ARE NOT PUSHING HARD ENOUGH.
We did have some damn good rides back in the day!Fat guys are always more fun to bike with... everything is always DH with a shuttle truck and a beer or two at the end.
Fat guys are also better at planning... thin guys always think whatever they're looking for was just past the last 16 climbs...
I don't know, I kind of find it hard to get annoyed with overweight people at the gym making some kind of effort to improve their health, but that's just me. (unless they do something to annoy me, but that's not limited to overweight people.)
I hear ya; however, it is definitely visual polution. You can't help but see what you see and people should be courtesy of that fact.I could give a **** less what people wear at the gym or on a ride.
It's a gym, not a Vic Stewart's or Starbucks.
Good story and I like your sentiment, but do you mean to say you need to look good to walk into a friggin' starbucks and get a coffee...?It's a gym, not a Vic Stewart's or Starbucks.
I guess I should have left out the word Starbucks.Good story and I like your sentiment, but do you mean to say you need to look good to walk into a friggin' starbucks and get a coffee...?
If chubby folks in tight clothes offend you, I recommend not joining a gym.I'm all for people getting in shape . He'll I'm even a little chubby right now, but I have the common courtesy to wear clothing that isnt four sizes too small, and make people look at my ass crack and blubber.
Just look the other way. Don't they have TV's at your gym? Or mirrors in front of the machine you work on?I hear ya; however, it is definitely visual polution. You can't help but see what you see and people should be courtesy of that fact.
I'm not saying that people stare at the uglies, just saying that when they walk by in your line of sight, you can't help but see what's there.Just look the other way. Don't they have TV's at your gym? Or mirrors in front of the machine you work on?
It's not any worse than the sights you see in the locker room.
You need to concentrate more on your workout if you can't block distractions.I'm not saying that people stare at the uglies, just saying that when they walk by in your line of sight, you can't help but see what's there.
I see what your saying... But I think it's something your going to have to live with.I'm not saying that people stare at the uglies, just saying that when they walk by in your line of sight, you can't help but see what's there.
What if a co-worker had serious body odor and didn't shower or use deordorant? Wouldn't that be offensive to your nose?
NEWSFLASH: the gym, is in public. Showing blubber flowing over your waistline because you're wearing a shirt that stops twelve inches above your waist, and your ass crack because your shorts are four sizes too small is just as offensive there as it is in a starbucks .I guess I should have left out the word Starbucks.
I meant to say at a gym it doesn't really matter what your clothes look like, they just need to be comfortable for you.
In public, you at least want to dress decent.
catch my drift?
I wouldn't wear my gym clothes to starbucks, they smell like dead horse.
Whatever.NEWSFLASH: the gym, is in public. Showing blubber flowing over your waistline because you're wearing a shirt that stops twelve inches above your waist, and your ass crack because your shorts are four sizes too small is just as offensive there as it is in a starbucks .
brilliant. You've completely lived up to your reputation.Whatever.
What about if they taste like Cholesterol?I hate how fat women exist.
Repression of the fact that granny boyfriend = red rabbit.brilliant. You've completely lived up to your reputation.
Weren't you the guy that turned your room mate in for smoking pot? And posted about twenty threads about him and his granny boyfriend? If you're preaching tolerance why don't you practice it?

Desperate words... Just bow out gracefully.brilliant. You've completely lived up to your reputation.

I love when people do that!also, don't sing along to your iPod.
I LOVE that song!!I love when people do that!
There was a guy on the bus this morning that was rocking out to some Mexican station.
I'm not supposed to crack n-word jokes?The fatty haters are just sad souls looking to boost their social standing by pointing out the flaws of others. These are the same people who would be cracking n-word jokes if they thought they could get away with it.
So what you are saying is that you are fat?The fatty haters are just sad souls looking to boost their social standing by pointing out the flaws of others. These are the same people who would be cracking n-word jokes if they thought they could get away with it.
Yeah, but that effect happens irrespective of whether it's in a gym. I hate walking toxic waste dumps wherever they are.The only time I had an issue w/someone else at the gym was this lady that was a little over weight. She was wearing a pink fuzzy thing that did a good job of covering up what [most] folks didnt want to see. That was all find and dandy, but she must have swam in a vat of perfume before coming to the gym. I honestly had to move as that on top of the cardio was making me nauseous.
I sing along loudly to my ipod when I work out. I don't want to live in a world where people are ever, EVER discouraged from singing. That's like telling someone not to laugh.also, don't sing along to your iPod.
I disagree. Someone belting out showtunes next to me is pretty annoying, especially when I have to turn up MY music to drown it out.I sing along loudly to my ipod when I work out.

I'm not surprised. Next time, turn down your music and sing along with them.I disagree.
I would have sung on the bus if I would have known the words. But for all I know, he didn't know the words either (based on the fact I don't know Spanish).I'm not surprised. Next time, turn down your music and sing along with them.
