five reasons why your gym is not a nightclub

Sure, there may be creepy guys staring at your booty as you feverishly glide along on the elliptical, but I assure you that your gym is not a club.
Here's why:
1. Obsessively admiring yourself & your big muscles in the mirror is so not impressive.
2. When you hear a song that you are vaguely familiar with while on the treadmill or in your pilates class, you should by no means yell out, "OMG, I love this song" and start moving to the music.
3. If you can't keep-up in your cardio-kickboxing class, for heaven's sake do not try to compensate by resorting to your favorite dance moves (random body gyrations apply).
4. You have not accomplished anything by just showing up to the gym. Standing in the corner chatting with your gym buddies does not count as a workout.
5. If you find yourself fretting over your gym ensemble & are reapplying your lip gloss between reps, you may want to consider looking elsewhere for a husband (chances are your prince charming is not the meathead in a tank top admiring his biceps in the mirror).

You mean standing in the corner and watching other people exercise isn't a work out? That screws up my whole weight loss plan! (maybe that's why I haven't seen any results!) :)
