I don’t know for sure but guessing people make fun of me. I’m now at the age that I don’t care as much regarding perception at gym.

Every once in a while, I’ll kick the football as high as possible 10-20 yards and pretend like I’m returning punts (if not busy in outdoor turf area). Or make a mini obstacle course jumping over tires and jungle gym stuff.

The weight room is next to the basketball gym so I’ll often go back and forth. Juggling basketballs for warmup. Sometimes bring my weighted vest for pull-ups.

Group ex classes where I probably have poor form for roundhouse kicks and working harder than necessary. Attempting to swim laps and getting gassed after 4 while everyone else can keep going for an hour.

Of course, if gym is during the busier times, I don’t do these things as much. Just thought I’d ask if you would be making fun of me? Behind my back like a true gentleman of course.

Maybe. Hard to say without actually seeing you in action.

On the other hand, as long as you're happy and not fricking up anyone's workout then good for you and I wouldn't worry what anyone else thinks.

Can you post videos of you kicking football, round house kicking, etc?

I’d probably laugh briefly but I wouldn’t mock you. I don’t really care what people do, especially if they’re both enjoying themselves and not bothering me.

They're probably just staring at you in admiration...it's not everyday you see a full-blown autist at the gym and doing so well in public.

As long as you’re not doing something dangerous where you could injure yourself or someone else, I don’t care what you do. If you’re happy and feel like you’re getting a good workout, then do whatcha gotta do

I’ll give you 10 bonus points on the coolness scale if you also signal for a fair catch

I won't lie. I would watch a video of him fielding his own punts.

Wtf kind of gym do you go to? Kicking footballs to yourself?

I wouldn’t even notice you. I go to the gym sometimes in ripped jeans and flip flops with Bluetooth Beats in. My shoulders are fricked, so I can’t do a lot of traditional lifts, have to use a lot of machines that probably looks stupid for my build and age, but I don’t give a flying frick. I’m not in there to look cool or look at, or even talk to, anybody else. I’m in there to keep my head down, work, and get the frick out. I could not care any less what anybody thinks of what I’m doing, not could I care any less about what they’re doing. And I don’t mean that in an a-hole way. I don’t know their story. You do you, I’ll do me, and we can be nice and chat about working in together on certain things if necessary, but otherwise, who gives a shite?

I can’t see the commercial gym peasant-folk from my garage so you’ll always be safe from my judgment.

I have no business laughing at anyone in the gym.

Nobody cares just do it fast or out of everyone else's way. If you choose to be odd that's your choice just be considerate to other people who take it serious
