I even got to workout all by myself today. Well mostly. I got to the gym and there was no one there. Towards the end I saw a car pull up, but no one got out. Then I saw another car that I thought was a guy that works out around that time. He's a good guy. Well turns out it's the pompous trainer and his client. Lucky for me I had just finished in the back. If I hadn't ugh that would have been a headache. He goes back there and starts pulling things apart and setting up tons of machines while she's back there using the leg press. Man I really wish they'd understand that they should work on one thing at one time, but like I said I didn't have to deal with it.
Which reminds me. Yesterday I was at the gym and there was this sweet old lady there. She had this clipboard and was going from machine to machine. She just looked exhausted. Then she gets back to the cable row machine and I mean she was doing it all wrong. She was in pain. You could see it all over her face. Instead of keeping her back straight and pulling the handle to her chest she was just leaning back. It was stressing her lower back. So I had to say something. I showed her the right way and she thanked me and thanked me again when she walked by. I don't usually help people. Mainly because I don't think it's my place and if I was in their place I wouldn't want someone to do that to me. Mainly because sometimes I'm doing it correctly and they are doing it incorrectly. No I mean they actually are. They are now doing it slowly to actually work the muscle or lifting too heavy. Anyway I know that whoever gave her that sheet clearly didn't show her how to go through the exercises or they just figured oh this is what I do so an old lady can do it too. She was also lifting far too much. I bet it was the pompous trainer again. He always gets the older ladies to train and he really doesn't train them with the fact that they are older ladies in mind. Just sad.
