Gym rules!

Ive been working out for awhile now. No i dont have a super deadly figure, I'm no where close to it but i like to atleast think that i have an agenda to work out in place. So every morning i manage atleast a 45 minute workout. Atleast i wont die jogging for 5 minutes :). Now that's saying a lot!!!
Anyway I generally go to the gym do my workout and tend to observe people around me. Some rules, that have already been clearly mentioned by 'Nothings aplenty' but felt the need to reinstate.
  • Workout quietly. Making noise is a severe distraction. Breathing heavy is a strict no no. Ive been offended several times and walked off from my machine
  • Have your own towel. You wouldnt want to be sweating all over the place.
  • If possible carry your own water bottle. If you prefer drinking water at the gym, be decent enough not to sip the bottle. There are others as well.
  • If the person next to you, working out is good looking, avoid paying attention to them. If you're on a tread mil runnin at 11 , your chances are you might be on your way to the hospital in an ambulance at 80 km/h
  • Take the trainers help. Dont be shy. They are experts and they're advice is crucial
  • Put your mobile off or keep it on silent. Sensitivity. Take your calls outside the gym floor. Nobody wants to listen to your personal rantings.
  • enjoy your workout...atleast try. Waking up at 6 am is tough no doubt but still enjoy :)
  • Dont workout on an empty tummy. You might collapse with cramps. Sure fire way to screw up your work out
  • Wear sensible work out attire. Jeans are a definite no no. Your at the gym to work out not draw attention. So dress comfortably.
Im no expert here. Just some observations/recommendations.

Happy Gymming.
