Some of the dead giveaways are over accessorization, for instance, you can spot a newbie, by how they look. Gym gloves are always a strong indicator. Designer clothes, gloves, shoes, water bottles, iTunes soundtrack...they probably spent hours researching and purchasing said items while they could have been educating themselves on things like proper form, diet, rest periods, the actual exercises, etc. By the way, none of these things are necessary. These perfectly accessorized individuals are doing all the wrong things. They look lost, act as though they're not, and have no clue what they're doing. Also, it's very common to see them with a personal trainer in tow, who is, also, wasting their time. Sorry to say, but these people are uniformly females. You see them at first, with that Katy Perry "go girl" look in their eye, all determined, but, they've fallen for every consumer gimmick in the book and usually quit within a week or two. All that expensive gear goes into a corner of some closet and rarely sees the light of day. Hundreds of dollars relegated to "I just can't make it to the gym today, I'll go tomorrow, but I'm strong and fierce", and tomorrow just keeps turning to another tomorrow. Another thing I notice too is the constant "get ripped quick" gimmicks and techniques. X-Gear Extreme!! Lose 40 lbs in 3 hours and get ripped while at it, plus, made with recycled plant-based ingredients guaranteed to save the Earth from extinction. Good grief. You see these morons balancing on one foot on a half-inflated exercise ball doing curls with 10 lbs weights. I see right through it. Because all these wacko gimmicks do is make you forget you're actually exercising. It works because you're balancing on a ball, spinning plates, swallowing a sword, and lifting a weight, but only for so long, as in maybe the couple of times you do it. Because this may trick the mind the body still knows it's being stressed. After a couple of Spin-boxercise-resistance-pro sessions, Miss Perry-Bad Ass is back to watching tic tok having given up entirely. January is always a sh*t month for the gym. Always. Gyms across the country swell with scores of "determined" people looking to really make a change this time. Three weeks into the month and the place empties out. By early February nobody is there, but, the gyms keep charging them for the rest of the year. Whereas for the consistent gym-goer January is terrible, it's a boom for the Gym owners. I can't blame them. And then there's the latest in fitness technology. This is really creepy. Don't get me wrong, music is important and can really help with your workouts, but, there are limits to technology. Today, we have the climb-master, treadmill, stationary bikes ALL equipped with TVs. The propaganda machines are right there in front of their fat faces. It's straight out of Walle. Fair enough, at least these people are doing something, but, while they may be exerting themselves vs. eating fast food, they're consuming fast food for the mind. Worst still, it's all the globohomo cr*p.</blockquote>
