If you want to walk at an incline it doesn't do you much good to raise the lift of the treadmill then just hold on to the front and lean your body back to cancel out all the incline you just put in the machine.

If you're going to take up one of the exercise bikes or ellipticals and make me wait, put your phone away. You're not doing yourself any good stopping every minute and a half to respond to a text message.

I always get pissed when someone leaves streaks of baby oil or some other lubricant on the treads.

This cracks me up and I was between two of these yesterday. Both were at incline 15 or so and hanging on for dear life, their spandex fighting the good fight.

My personal is the sweat-all-over-everything guy. Can't be bothered to wipe that stank up.

You people need to buy some exercise equipment. Or better yet go fishing and drink some beer

Hell if I know, but it happens all the time. I go to start running and slip and bust my arse on someone's soul glo or KY or whatever the hell it is. I've complained and nothing gets done.

Yep. Only one person uses my treadmill and I never have to wait for it.

Where the frick do you people work out?

I can email and read the OT if I want on the elliptical and keep my legs going and frick you if you have to wait. Go toss a medicine ball for awhile.

You sound like a dick. You'd be a great addition to our Lawyer community. Welcome aboard son.

I wish I could blame it on that. I look like those damn America's Funniest Videos submittals when I start running.

Stop doing steady state cardio. Problem solved

Be a fricking man. Train like one

If you are going to be an attorney you will not have much free time to frick around with wasteful time drains.

I (used to) hate people who hold on the the equipment. So useless.

I use a spinning bike at home and totally text when I need to. I'm doing LISS and I don't have to stop pedaling to do so.

so why exactly does one have to stop peddling a stationary bike to text? I text the entire time i'm on the bike.
