New Rules of the Club

OK, so when I go to work out, I expect a minimum of decorum. Granted, we're all running around in sweats and Spandex. And today's excursion to the club reminded me of some things. I saw an Asian verison of actor Alan Cumming, dressed up like his character in the "Threepenny Opera" and an old time-y weightlifter. You saw all his business coming and going--very unsettling.

But here are the basics:

• In classes, try to pick a stagger so there is mirror space for everyone
• Don't roll up close in another person's orbit
• If you hit, tap, scrape, graze or otherwise touch another person with weight equipment, it's probably well advised to politely apologize
• If you sweat, wipe it up--with a towel or other form of material (not just your hand)
• Wear deodorant
  

Not too demanding, right?

Some folks have a hard time with the basics though. That said, I had a nice workout (group weights) and a brief stint on the treadmill.
