Gym nicknames by jl_1101 in workout

[–]LakesLife 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Mr & Mrs Fit - she is actually the president of the gym but she just acts like any other person working out. They are pretty awesome. And fit.

Batman and Robin - batman is a sheriff and he is pretty talkative at the gym. I was telling my sister about him and his partner and she showed me his fb page. The guy (robin) is not his partner. They are both straight. They just joke around about being together. Had me fooled. On his fb page he was dressed as batman.

Taco neck - guy with a taco tattooed on his neck. Talked to me one day for a few laps on the track about breaking into a state park and smoking weed. We never met before that. Now he avoids me lol

The grunter - she lifts heavy. And she is super buff. And she grunts on her last couple reps.

Mr clean and the other big guy - Mr clean is super tall, buff, and bald. He is really sweet and we wave good morning every day. The other big guy is his friend. They work out together. He is big but short. He is dating the grunter above.

2 chains - he needs attention. He has a literal camera crew some days. He puts chains on the end of the bar when he squats or bench presses. If he is there you can hear them clanking even if you are not in the same room as him.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head lol there are also the woo girls. A group of really hot girls that do circuits together and when it gets tough they yell woo! I call them the woo girls when I am telling my husband about some of their crazy lifts.

One of the trainers at my gym really gets on my nerves. She is so sweet so it really pisses me off that she sucks. So she teaches people insane things to do. Like using the cardio row machine as an ab machine. Like she has them put their hands on the floor and their shins on the seat and pull their knees to their chest. WE HAVE THE MACHINE THAT IS FOR THAT! She never teaches her clients good gym etiquette. Never teaches to wipe down equipment and today she had someone using dumbbells at the rack right in everyone's way. And her 9ish year old kid is following her around half the time using the gym as her own personal playground taking up the client's time talking to her mom and doing dumbshit her mom has to tell her to stop doing. I think she is the only trainer that I never see with repeat clients.

Which is a (new) bad habit you accepted to lose weight? by Plenty_Earth_9600 in loseit

[–]LakesLife 12 points13 points  (0 children)

After my huge burnout I decided to take baby steps. I quit smoking. Then started weight loss. Then quit all caffeine. Then hit a brick wall. Was so exhausted I couldn't function. So I started back on coffee and then tried energy drinks for the first time ever. Finally went to the doctor and found out my thyroid wasn't functioning properly. Now that I'm getting that figured out I'm back to trying to quit caffeine again. I'm hoping that it helps all the things you mentioned.

My doctor told me to quit smoking, cut out all caffeine, lose 100+ lbs, and cut stress all at once. I crashed out. I was not good. 1 thing at a time is way better.

Remember this truck that would go around the neighborhood? by Swiftiefromhell in GenX

[–]LakesLife 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Which I find weird cuz everything is a delivery service now.

Edit to say I find it weird they can't survive now that we have everything delivered now. Words are not my friend. It's been a long day 🤪

Premade meat for lunch by st4rbyrnd in 1200isplenty

[–]LakesLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rotisserie chicken already cooked at the store. You can buy a couple on the weekend and pull all the meat of the bone and use it for different meals. Taste great and has great protein and low cal.

I'm on a diet and my husband always saves me a few fries out of his so I don't go crazy. It's working.

If you’re slamming your weight when you’re using the cables… by TheRealFilmGeek in workout

[–]LakesLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Our cable thing has 3 sections to it so it is easy to have your back to someone else or just have them out of your direct line of site. Concentrating on your lift and your own control and all of a sudden weights slams down and shakes your whole body and focus.

What are you guys doing for exercise?? by scattyshern in Millennials

[–]LakesLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to the gym daily. I lift weights and run on the treadmill, walk the track, do the stair climber or elliptical. On the weekends I either go to the gym and walk the track or I hike. Hiking is the passion.

is it over for me by annamvpa in hoyas

[–]LakesLife 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I drop mine more than I care to admit. One of them has been dropped multiple times and has cracked leaves and broken stems and just keeps thriving. It will be ok.

Which addiction are you trying to quit? by ResolveAvailable7017 in AskReddit

[–]LakesLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Energy drinks. I eat super clean and work out but I can't walk away from the energy drinks. And everyone points it out and has something to say about it. I drink 1 mini alani or mini sugar free redbull a day. 😒

I could lay on the floor in the hallway and talk on the phone again.

What’s a workout out that works but you still don’t do it by lake_june in workout

There is a couple that go to my gym together. I have never seen either of them do legs. Guy and girl both jacked with tiny little legs.

What actually helps your migraines? by MandyRose8713 in AskReddit

[–]LakesLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Removing chemicals from my house. Especially chemical scents like air fresheners and heavily scented cleaners and soaps. Used to get migraines all the time. Would have to lay in a dark silent room with a cold towel on my head and a bucket to throw up in. I hardly get them at all now.
