Gym observations


1. While pedaling away at the elliptical today, I spotted a frazzle-haired woman mount her machine a row ahead of me. I took a double take when I saw her attempt to balance a chunky electronic on the machine’s magazine holder. It was indeed what I thought it was: a cassette Walkman.

2. To those on the stairmaster machines beside the floor-to-ceiling mirrors: I can see you shamelessly checking yourself out in the mirror, and so can the rest of us. After all, there are floor-to-ceiling mirrors all over the cardio area.

3. There’s a lanky, middle-aged woman who makes swimming motions with her arms while walking on the treadmill. Does that do anything?
