The good old drive to the gym to walk on the treadmill set.

I'll never understand why people talk on the phone mid-workout

I sometimes ride my bike to the gym, it's a 15 minute walk and there is * all parking there.
I usually do classes though so I count it as my warmup

BLoke at my gym wears sunnies, weird campaigner.

It's a paradox. Often people wear sunnies because they don't want to be noticed, but it only draws more attention to them.

I've been thinking about getting a cheap pushie for the same reason

A mate used to live around the corner, my childhood pushie was the way to go. Probably looked like a real bogan but I think that happens anyway.

My first thought would be he’s trying to get away with having a perve.

He actually might be stoned i reckon, campaigner seems pretty random. He favours the one with the fluoro green rims as well, looks ridiculous.

I ride my bike to the gym on the weekend, takes me under 10 minutes when driving takes about 5. If I drive I just end up using a treadmill or exercise bike to warm up for 5-10 minutes anyway, plus it's nice to get a bit of fresh air.

 

[Neese]

If I drove I probably wouldn't get a park and would just get pissed off. It's easier to get my gear on and ride or walk there.

They can't be doing it properly then.

Haha. I literally walk out the front door of my building, cross the road and walk maybe 100m on a slight angle and I am there.

What's not to understand? Post photos of yourself wearing nothing, get validation from strangers. Lock in (a) low self esteem, thanks Ed.

What I don't get is Insta-hoes who do this then act surprised when they get "haters" and creeps. It's the internet and you are inviting anonymous commentary. In no parallel universe does that end well.

True, but I don't understand internet 'haters' and 'creeps' either. Find something constructive to do, losers.

You'd think people have something better to do with their time, but they don't.

There's also an element who think by talking to footy players, TV stars, social media "celebrities" etc. on Twitter or whatever they're friends with them or something.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Someone on the SFA board found my facebook and doxed me. Most stalkerish experience ever.

Did you report it to anyone at the time?

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Yeah, all dealt with.

I hope you've upped your privacy settings since?

You can still manage a good workout if you do it between sets, or even while on cardio. Not that I do it.
