Best song you heard at the gym this week

For me, it was Rob Base doing the classic "It Takes Two". And they followed it up with an ACDC song. What a segue!
Anybody else hear a great song at the gym this week?

I didn't hear music, but I did get to watch the Firstwives Club segment on Dr. Phil while I ran on the treadmill. Nothing like seeing old Phil tell divorcees that they were whiners and babies, and then make them beat up chairs to get out their frustrations. Quality TV.

Gym music blows. The IPod was certainly created by someone who knows this. All of the following have been on my list for a long, long time. But then again, I run. The big, sweaty, iron-pumping muscle boys might need something a bit more macho.
TKO/Le Tigre
What About Us/Ministry
You Think I Aint Worth…/QOTSA
Fixed Income/DJ Shadow
Low Self Opinion/Rollins Band
The Rat/The Walkmen (OK, only about a year)

my mp3 player was playing songs starting with a thru c and came across COLDPLAY-Trouble. in a revolted panic i reached down to change the song. whew thank god. hearing even the first few bars while working out can giv u the heebeejeebees big time. fyi. come to think of it it would be a good theme song for the Dr phil show that one of you mentioned elsewhere.

I think you have two types of male gym-goers…you have the blokes in the nerdy shoes and old baggy t-shirt genuinely trying to stay in shape/lose weight. This type you will usually find using the uncool apparatus like the rowing machine or stationary bike. Then you have the macho/closet homosexual who is wearing gym-gear that costs more than a Gucci suit, and the tops don't even have sleeves!!!! This animal will be found in the weight room were there are lots of same species and wall to wall mirrors which aid with the admiring of self and others discreetly.
There are also two types of female gym-goers….type one. Baggy pants and hubby's/bf's over-sized t-shirt, trying to keep those hips in check. Usually find this one attending various aerobic "—-ize" classes…type 2. Stopped off at beauty salon on the way to the gym to make sure she looks perfect, then waits hours for the treadmill that is in view of the weight room to become available so she can walk…make that wiggle on it in hope that one of the homo's in the weight room may swing both ways.

GYM is a Greek word. It means NAKED, as in "Check out the girth on all of those dangling naked units in the gang shower!"
People who go to the GYM as adults are the same types that loved to excell in high school GYM class, as in, "…everyone into the gang showers! YEAH!"

I've been going to the gym in the building where I work for years now, and have noticed a curious species. There are quite a few people who go to the gym on a daily basis, but somehow still manage to stay out of shape.
Most of the people at my gym seem to be grads of either UMD or UVA. Every day, all they talk about is college football. (sometimes college basketball in the winter). They always refer to the teams in the first person… "You guys played really well last week…I can't believe you went for it on fourth and long and made it."…"We didn't play so well. We've got to start executing better if we want to make it to a bowl game." Men in their 40's and 50's still clinging to their collegiate existence. Totally weird.

I notice this as well. I call them "35 hundred-ers" as in the number of calories I assume they must eat daily.

What about the 'no-necks' as I call them (No necks because their heads look so tiny in comparison to their huge shoulders that seem to extend right to their ears, hence the no-neck name….they come under the homo-erotic mirror gazer group, they seem to be in good shape, actually over-developed in some areas, usually the arms, shoulders or thighs……. only they don't actually work out. One is usually sat on a piece of apparatus but not actually using it, while the other is stood leaning on it while they chat…can't they just stay home and do that, or at least go to the pub and have a pint and chat.
