I was recently reading an article about "Ways to be Obnoxious While Exercising" and I think I've broken every single one of the rules at one time or other.
Let's review, shall we?
1) Wearing Spandex - Spandex is almost a requirement when riding a bike. =D
2) Make Your Workout a Competition - I think this is the definition of Crossfit. I mean, I keep looking at my times and comparing them with everyone else. That's kind of the definition of competition, isn't it?
3) Be the person who sweats everywhere -This is just ridiculous. This is like saying, "Don't exercise so hard that you sweat." Well, if I want improvement, don't I have to work out hard?
4) Wear Shorts When It's 20 Below - No matter how cold it is outside, when you exercise, you want to wear less clothing. I may not have worn shorts at 20 below, but I have exercised in just a t-shirt in 20 degree weather.
5) Doing laps when kids are playing in the pool - I've had this experience. I even made sure to do laps in the lap lanes, instead of the open swim area. However, kids seemed to find their way into my lanes anyways. = /
6) Ride your bike in the middle of the street - Where else are you going to ride, the sidewalks? I don't think so. I will admit, I usually ride close to the white line. However, bicycles are not causing traffic, they ARE traffic.
7) Grunting - I pretty much fail at not grunting. I mean, when I do my Olympic lifts I grunt on almost every repetition.
