TOP 10 THINGS NOT TO DO AT GYM

It’s no secret that this year we, three, decided to up our annual gym dose ( aka hit the gym a whole lot more often).We’re pretty much living there, but while we’re out and about doing our thang, we’ve heard (and noticed) some behaviour that’s been getting everyone’s attention for all the wrong reasons...

We break down the TOP 10 THINGS NOT TO DO AT GYM

Question is: which are we guilty off?  *gulp*

1)      Wearing make-up to the gym. 

      One question: WHY?? The point of gym is to look totes cute OUTSIDE of the gym, not in it! No matter how sexy my trainer may be *sigh* Oops! I mean THE trainer – You don’t wanna be known as THAT girl who tries too hard. If you absolutely must use make-up, just a barely-there look will do. No need for full Hollywood glamour (@Jackey_101 just narrowly escapes being found guilty here. She does the barely there thing brilliantly)

2)      Taking selfies at the gym.

Don't be this person...

      

      Hash-tagging #ReadyAndMotivated with a gym selfie on Instagram isn’t gonna get you that body. But it does make everyone awkwardly stare at you while you supposed to be working out. I love selfies just as the next Gen-Yer but rather take those selfies at home . The gym isn’t really the place...

3)      Getting your friends to take pics of how hard you working out.

      Don’t be THAT person. Let people notice WITHOUT you posting the pic of how hard you working-out on every social medium possible. A pic now and then is great but too many and you will be getting noticed for the wrong reason

4)      Spending half your gym session chatting up said trainer.

      As hot as he may be, you need to show him that you actually DO come to the gym to work out and not (just) have your daily slice of cutie pie. (Don’t judge me; I know you do it too! - @Smurfett_Li GUILTY!)

5)      “Working out” in the circuit just to perv over the guys.

      Once again ladies, DON’T BE THAT PERSON! If the guy wants you to notice him, he will make sure you do. You should catch his eye too, NOT just the other way around. Play it cool – let him come up to you.  Make him work for it! Once that is achieved THEN we stalk coz we know they’re interested. Ya feel me?

6)      Going to the gym every single day of the week…for all the WRONG reasons. 

No, we know you’re NOT that dedicated. We also know that you’re trying to make sure you bump into that hottie that greeted you that one time coz he accidentally made eye-contact. Yes, @CarrieKups, we ARE talking to you. Yup this little stalker is becoming an actual stalker...sorry sis, someone had to tell you. GUILTY!

7)      Going to the gym to catch up with friends.

      It’s so hard to see your friend and NOT spend at least 20 minutes catching up on your week. But remember ladies, that’s what coffee dates are for. That way you get to show off that sexy bod that you’ve been working out for AND catch up. Killing two birds with one stone – now that’s what I’m talking about! All three of us are GUILTY!

8)      Wearing a cap to the gym.

      Ok, this is one I am proud to say we do NOT do! There’s no need for UV protection in a place that aint got no UVs.

9)      Wearing jeans and sneakers to the gym. 

     Yet again, not guilty. There’s plenty of other ways to look cute at the gym. Can anyone say Mr. Price sport??

10)   Moving gym equipment out of its original place.

      When you use something, it’s common knowledge that you put it back from where you found it, right? Wrong! A lot of people move the equipment around while chatting and trying to impress their friends and/or handsome strangers. As much as I’m all for catching the eye of the handsome hottie, you shouldn’t make others run around the gym in search of the skipping rope – no matter how much of a work-out you think you may be giving them in the process.  

That's all for now folks!

*Love & Peace*
