Hi Andy. Its funny how the sexes never like to work out in front of each other isn't it? When I went to the old (unisex) gym here it didn't bother me much, but it sure bothered my work out partner, so much so that she just stopped going. *sigh. Can I tell you my experience when I was a newbie at the gym that sorta changed my mind about it all.
Well I'm gonna tell ya anyway.
I was on the pec deck and pretty much right in front of me was the ab roller and a mat. This young good looking fella comes out of the weight room at the back. and sorta glances over my way. and I'm all self-consious about it and he's obviously wasting time, reading posters etc. And I'm thinking Hey! if he's done back there I can go do my weights now! So I quickly finish up and when I got away from the pec deck, he goes and uses the Ab roller! See if I had been on the pec deck he would pretty much be working out at my feet. So, we're all selfconsious about it I guess. Here I am --middleaged, obese of course I'm selfconscious about it.. But there's this guy, young good-looking, have NO idea why he's self conscious about it at all! That sorta woke me up.. after that I never let it bother me and actually had some good convos with fellas in the cardio and weight rooms! Just thought I'd share so you know you're not alone.
