Oink! Oink!
No, it's not me. Dork.
It's the sound of the all-too-ubiquitous gym hog.
Gym hogs are running rampant around 24 Hour Fitness. No doubt other gyms are also infested with their presence.
Luckily, the gym hog seems to have a three day lifespan: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. By Thursday afternoons, very few gym hogs can be spotted hogging the treadmills, ellipticals, and weight machines.
However, taking three days a week out of my exercise routine because of gym hogs is getting a little annoying. I try really hard to beat the
It's really frustrating. I was all gung-ho to do this Couch to 5K thing, but I have to actually be able to run for it to work. And these stupid gym hogs seem to always take over the treadmills first. It's the gym hog hierarchy: 1) Overtake the treadmills. 2) Breach the ellipticals. 3) Stampede the stair-masters. 4) Mutilate the stretching mats. 5) And finish off by pillaging the weights.
Okay, yes, I realize now that the weather is improving I could go outside and run, but seriously, I'm paying $30 a month for the opportunity to use these facilities. I'm a tight-wad! I want to get my money's worth, people!!
So, why don't I qualify as a gym hog, you might ask.
Go ahead, ask it. Really, I want to hear you call me a gym hog. Do it. Do it.
Yeah, I can be scary, I know.
But seriously, I can't be considered a gym hog. Gym hogs have a very short, 3 day maximum weekly lifespan. Anyone who goes to the gym on a Friday evening can not possibly be considered a gym hog. We're more like gym....hamsters. Cute, cuddly, and spinning in our wheels and trying to work out every day of the week.
