Workout Whining Revise

Forget everything I said yesterday. Just remember one thing:

GET OFF YOUR PHONE!!!

It's not cute. You're just taking up space and wasting time. Go talk loudly on the phone on the BART or in a store line or one of the other super annoying places people do that. Please just stop doing it at the gym.

Besides, it's super germy and dirty to bring your phone into the gym with you, let alone put it up to your face.

Get it together.

Workout Whining

As you know, I spend a lot of time in the gym. I got to a big box mega-chain gym because it's cheap and close. During my time there I've run into many characters and seen a lot of no-no's committed. Here are a few:

• Don't sit bare-assed on the locker-room benches. We don't need you to pollinate the surfaces of the world with your post-workout junk.


• Stop working out in your jeans. I know you feel more hard-core with your denims on, guys, but com'on. It's far from gangsta.


• Lose the entourage. A half dozen guys led by an OG, strolling around taking up equipment isn't a workout. It's an afternoon at the Elks lodge.


• Guys, stop using the girl-sized weights. If I have to look for the 10-pound dumb bells one more time to see some dude grunting out a set with them, I'm gonna snap.

There's plenty more, but I'll let you chew on these first.
