We’ve got FIVE incredible co-hosts My First 5K and More, Running With Attitude, Run Laugh Eat Pie, Runs with Pugs, and me for another Fit Five Friday link-up!  This week’s topic is “5 things to never do in the gym”.  Feel free to write about this or any fitness topic you’d like.

It’s been years since I’ve set foot in a gym.  I used to go there a lot to use the treadmill.  I’ve been a member of a few gyms but my favorite gym was Fitness Formula Club.  It was a great gym with lots of amenities but not close to my house.  I think I was a member for a year before I cancelled my membership.  

Here are a couple of things to never do in the gym.  Or maybe I should say I would never do in the gym.

➡️  Not wipe the equipment – That is very gross.  I don’t want to touch any of the equipment full of sweat.  Gyms have bottles of sprays, wipes, and sanitizers to clean and disinfect the equipment.

➡️  Listen to music without headphones – I like listening to music but always use my headphones.  Oh, and no singing loudly to the songs.

➡️  Make phone calls – I hate having to listen to people chat while they’re running.  There were times when I did answer the phone but got off the machine and went somewhere else to take the call.

➡️  Talk too much – You know how I feel about all of the talking.  🙂  I’ve been on treadmills where the person next to me was constantly talking to the person next to her.  I could hear them even with my headphones so I moved to another treadmill.

➡️  Spit into a water fountain –  This is gross too.  Use the trash can.

The topic for next week – Runfessions with Marcia.  We hope you’ll link up with us!
