Gym Report - cardio

[susandennis]

Ok, I think push ups every single day probably isn't the best idea. I did 10 today but they weren't good ones. I think we'll go with maybe every other day - push up wise?

After the push ups, I got on the treadmill to do 30 minutes with 1 minute speed bursts interspersed. I did a good 15 minutes of that but then Marilyn (from upstairs) came in and got on the treadmill next to me. The problem with Marilyn is that she likes to chat - sometimes and sporadically. I was listening to my book which is not very interpretable. So when she's next to me, I have to turn the book off which I did. Then she decided today was not a chatty day but I knew the minute I turned it back on again, she'd strike up a convo.

So when I hit 15 mins, I went elliptical. For 10 and then recumbent bike for 5.

It was fine. I'm all sweaty. So now I'm going to shower!

The woman doesn't understand that having headphones on means "I don't want to talk to you"? Is she a complete moron? Or are your headphones invisible?

I think most people with ear buds are listening to music which is kind of interuptable maybe? It's not at all unusual to have people talk to me when I have earbuds in. I must send off a 'it's ok, just talk away' vibe.

Well, you're right, sometimes people talk to me even when I have headphones in, but it's something I've always considered definitively impolite -- why should I constantly have to pull my iPod out of my pocket when it should be pretty clear what I'd prefer to be listening to?

It would never occur to me to interrupt someone listening to headphones, unless it was something urgent, such as, you know, if they were about to get hit by a car or something.
