Oh boy the gym is hopping!! Gotta love summer time at the gym. With the crazy heat, I am so thankful that I have an air-conditioned gym to go to. Or seriously, I would not be working out. Don't get me wrong, it's mighty humid in there and by the time I'm done working out, I feel like I resemble Monica from Friends. You know the episode...They go to Barbados and her hair just progressively gets bigger by the minute. Yup, that's me between sweat and humidity.
The Paki Posse has hired a trainer. They work out with him a few times a week and it always makes me smile. Their trainer thinks he's a comedian and makes me laugh too. He loves to make these guys sweat and reach new heights of fitness. The expressions on their faces say that they do not get his humor and most times I think they'd like to ring his neck. LOL
Oh boy have I seen a few people lately. Let's start out with Rodeo Rhonda. She's a unique gal. As she runs, only her right arm flings back like she's a rodeo rider. Her left arm remains rather stationary which only adds to the amusement I find with it. Yup, she's a hoot.
80's Elaine is new and I've only seen her two or three times. But, she was quite a shock to me. She wears a headband, tights, leg warmers, and those high top Reebok shoes that we all owned in the 80's. I didn't even know that those things were still made. I seriously saw her and started singing "Let's Get Physical" in my head.
As if 80's Elaine wasn't fun enough, there's this new gal that I'll call 70's Stephanie. She wears street clothes and keds to the gym, her hair is feathered and wind tunnel tested. (that's some serious hairspray when your hair doesn't move!) And she carries her purse with her. She never quite sweats either. For example, she'll get on the treadmill for maybe 10 minutes and then gets off, walks around, maybe looks out the window and then she'll return to the treadmill, hang her purse on the handles and do another 5 or 10 minutes. Not sure what that's about, but it is a bit unusual.
Oh boy! This next gal is an all-time favorite. I'm very conscious about choosing bra color and shirt to ensure that you aren't putting your underclothes on display for all to see. But, Leopard Leesa doesn't have that same motto in her book. Leesa always wears a transparent tank top and a leopard bra. Obviously you can SEE the bra or wouldn't be able to write about it. Her doctor did a lovely job on her boobs, so I get that she wants to show them off, but seriously, do I have to see it!?!?!? Tacky!! To make it even more "special" she's got to be 50 and obviously was a sun-worshipper in a prior life and has the leather skin to prove it. Oh she's a looker. LOL
And my most recent discovery, Beret Billy. This guy cracks me up. He's older and not in great shape, so kudos to him for coming to the gym. But, he wears a beret. Seriously. A blue beret. Like perhaps he's going out for "french fries" after. Bwahahahaha. But, I want to know what is up with the beret!!!
Boot Camp Update...
Still plugging along 3x a week in my group. The guy loves squats. Me? Not so much. But, I love that they work. Carlos? Still spunky as ever and I'm getting more adjusted to his perkiness.
