24 Hour Fitness.....Land of Sand

fig. 1-1 The standard morning of running with the others

So today's workout was pretty much crap as I found that it was way the hell too hot to run this morning on the treadmill at the almight 24 Hour Fitness.

My logic breaks down why it's so freaking hot in the gym, especially when everyone is supposed to be working out and breaking a sweat. For it to be that hot in the gym, some group of exercisers must be complaining that they're too cold. Let's see...

Is It The Elderly? Nope. Everytime I see them, they all pretty much wear sweatshirts and sweatpants, and are usually bustin' out some type of energy burning exercise.

Is It The Weight Lifters? Nah. They're always coming to the gym in barely anything anyway, and usually they're just as drenched with sweat as the next guy.

Is It The Exercise Class Participants? No chance. The instructors keep them moving way too much to get cold.

Is It The Pool Goers? Nope. Pools in a separate room and the water is heated.

Is It The People That Walk On The Treadmill? YES. Who else can be on a cardio machine in excess for 30 minutes, feel like they're exercising, and not even break a sweat? These meatballs! Hey! Walkers! I don't care if your ankles are "weak" or if you're "taking a break from your normal routine", either crank it up, or get the hell off the machine!



*Now it may just be that the facility just turns up the heat way to much, but far be it from me to resisting dumping all over the gym goers that decide to tie up one of the limited treadmills with their cosmo (or wall street journal) -reading walking a$$es.
