1. Be aware of where you and your stuff are- One of the biggest ways to offend others is to not be aware of where you are positioned and your personal items. Let me give an example:A person goes to the free weights, grabs a couple of dumbbells, and uses them in front of the rack. No, no one else can grab a set of dumbbells without being rude.
Another example would be to leave your towel and water bottle on workout machines you are not using. This means that no one else can use them either. As I mentioned above, a good portion of gym etiquette is all about being considerate of other people.
2. When you are done with a machine, wipe it down- You know you hate it when you go to workout on a machine and find it wet from the previous person that used it. So, since we are thinking of others, take the time to wipe down the machine.
3. Be polite and do not stare- Staring is rude enough, but doing it at the gym seems to multiply the rudeness factor ten times over. There are many people at the gym that uncomfortable for a variety of reasons. It could be that they are not comfortable with the way they look, with the way that they workout, or feel vulnerable if they are alone.
So, the easiest way to help with this is to ensure that you do not stare. Good gym etiquette will be displayed when you are polite to others.
4. Use mobile phone etiquette- I have noticed many people that get annoyed at others when they are using their phone while working out. There is a time and a place to use your mobile phone and the gym is not it.
5. Clothing and dress - It is key that you dress to workout. Wear appropriate clothing to exercise in. The gym is a place for athletic wear, not the latest runway fashions.
To make your workout a success, use the golden rule. It is essential that you treat others and the equipment with respect.

10 Things People Do Wrong In The Gym
#10 – Steady State cardio for ‘fat loss’ and fitness
I know, I know, how many times do fitness experts have to explain that the whole idea of ‘fat burning zones’ is a farce?
Here is where I talk about my pet peeve #1 in this list….they guy or girl ‘working’ on the elliptical, stairmaster or treadmill while reading a book or magazine. HUH?!? Here’s an easy tip for all of you, if you can concentrate on words that are about 2 millimeters tall while doing your cardio, you’re not working hard enough, period.
#9 – Not enough resistance training in your program
Many people ‘dabble’ in their weights during their workouts while relying on their cardio portion for the majority of their session. You know the folks I’m talking about, right?
How about the lady who spends 45 minutes on her elliptical machine then finishes with about 10 minutes on a variety of machines like the adductor or abductor (inner and outer thigh) or tricep machines? What about the ‘spinners’ who only do upper body resistance since they ‘get plenty of lower body strength training on the bike’?
Uh, no, guys. As a spin instructor for over 10 years now I can confidently say that more than 90% of all spinners (including instructors!) fail to turn that little black knob enough to elicit any type of strength training adaptations. Hmm, this might explain the classic pear bodies found on many of these cycling enthusiasts.
#8 – Not enough patience with your progress
Many folks give up on training regimens only weeks after starting. HOLD UP GUYS! A few weeks of training cannot be expected to negate years of inactivity and often ABUSE of your bodies.
#7 – Ridiculous diet practices
Sure, this is not something you might be able to spot in your local gym but as a group exercise instructor, many members like to tell me about their dietary practices.
#6 – Spending too much time in the gym
The number one reason that people give for not working out is TIME. After all, it’s safe to say that we ALL have better things to do than spend all our time in a gym, right?
#5 – Too much ‘down-time’ during training
I sort of cheated here as I could have rolled this into #6. But, I just had to talk about my pet peeve #2 here, the guy talking on the cell phone or sharing a cup of coffee with his buddy between sets.
Time your rest periods and set a completion time goal for each session. You might not always make it, but at least you’re trying and building a smart basis on which to measure your progress.
#4 – Scared to use ‘athletic’ exercises during training
There’s a reason athletes look the way they do, folks. It’s their training.
#3 – Not enough variation
Boredom and staleness inevitably leads to burn out and non-compliance. If you are not motivated by what’s about to happen in your training session, CHANGE IT.
Change your exercises from workout to workout, mix your cardio into your weights, change the order of your training, etc. All of these things will liven up even the most basic workout. Don’t forget to incorporate some sort of Periodization cycling that varies volumes and loads as this will also help keep your body ‘on edge’ and promote greater gains.
#2 – Isolation Exercises
Okay, pet peeve #3, the overweight guy or gal who spends all their time doing bicep curls and calf raises!
Guess what guys, there’s not a whole lot going on in your body when you do these types of exercises, even if you are standing on a balance board when performing your isolation bicep curls!
#1 – Not obeying the ‘Overload Principle’!
Here’s a newsflash for everyone, fitness is not easy and fitness will not come fast.
In other words GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE! Without this type of overload, there IS NO CHANGE. Guess what? If you are doing sets of 10 with your 15 repetition maximum you’re not doing much so don’t expect to see much in terms of gains.
This is my pet peeve #4 on this list….the fitness gurus who tell us that overload is the enemy and that we somehow need to feel refreshed at the end of our workouts.
Don’t only apply this principle to your resistance training, use it on your cardio as well. If you are capable of running 8 minute miles yet you always set the treadmill at 9 or 10 minute pace, you’re short-changing yourself. Don’t expect to see much improvement….if any.
I know, I know, how many times do fitness experts have to explain that the whole idea of ‘fat burning zones’ is a farce?
Well, you’re going to hear it again. Interval-style training is the way to go regardless of whether your goals are fat loss or improved fitness. The notion of more bang for your buck should appeal to just about everyone who frequents a gym.
See #1 on this list for more details.
#9 – Not enough resistance training in your program
Many people ‘dabble’ in their weights during their workouts while relying on their cardio portion for the majority of their session. You know the folks I’m talking about, right?
Many folks give up on training regimens only weeks after starting. HOLD UP GUYS! A few weeks of training cannot be expected to negate years of inactivity and often ABUSE of your bodies.
Even the poorest programs can result in positive physical changes simply because of consistency and effort. Imagine the results you would get if you stuck to an excellent training program? Go find a great trainer today, there are A LOT of them out there!
#7 – Ridiculous diet practices
Sure, this is not something you might be able to spot in your local gym but as a group exercise instructor, many members like to tell me about their dietary practices.
In addition, I often overhear some of the most ridiculous dietary tips that people give each other in the gym (even trainers are known to occasionally dispense their share of stupidity as well).
Listen people: sound nutrition is not rocket science! We all know right from wrong, for example, what’s better for you a soda or water? What about a bag of chips versus a bag of carrots? A candy bar or a nectarine?
Tough ones huh? Anyway, try some of these things and you will be just fine:
- Eat a VARIETY of food
- Don’t eliminate entire food group
- Eat 5-6 small meals each day
- Try to have protein, fats, and GOOD carbs at each meal
- Stay away from fad diets and diet pills
- Fasted cardio
- People that think that by exercising on an empty stomach, they will target all their fat stores.
- Sorry folks, won’t make a difference, in fact, your work capacity will be lowered from lack of fuel! Therefore, you will not be able to burn as many calories in that session.
- Fasting
- Did you hear about the ‘miracle’ 10-day maple syrup, lemon juice, water, and cayenne pepper fast?
- If it sounds ridiculous, it probably is.
- Drinking carbohydrate drinks or eating energy bars during a spin class
- Ever see folks who are trying to lose weight drinking a bottle of Gatorade and eating a Clif bar during a class yet wonder why they can’t seem to shed the pounds? Hmm, I wonder why?!
Could it be that they keep putting back in the 400-500 calories they end-up burning in class?
#6 – Spending too much time in the gym
The number one reason that people give for not working out is TIME. After all, it’s safe to say that we ALL have better things to do than spend all our time in a gym, right?
Try doing some extra work at home, reading a book, playing with your kids, taking the spouse out to a romantic dinner, whatever. Live your life folks!
One of the quickest ways to burnout is too many hours in the gym. Stick to short, effective, efficient sessions and go and have some fun in the real world!
#5 – Too much ‘down-time’ during training
I sort of cheated here as I could have rolled this into #6. But, I just had to talk about my pet peeve #2 here, the guy talking on the cell phone or sharing a cup of coffee with his buddy between sets.
If you’re at the gym, DO WORK! Increased pace leads to increased fitness, results, fat loss, strength, and energy!
If your gym is like mine and there are a lot of people who know you and want to socialize, try wearing an IPOD and don’t make a lot of eye contact…you’re not a jerk, you just a person who wants to complete your goal, that’s all.
#4 – Scared to use ‘athletic’ exercises during training
There’s a reason athletes look the way they do, folks. It’s their training.
Effective, functional training will result in great results in less time. The Olympic lifts such as the snatch and the clean and jerk can be used to improve overall fitness, promote flexibility and balance, improve strength and power and much more.
Don’t be scared of the technical aspects of these types of lifts as there are VERY simple variations such as clean pulls, jump shrugs, and push presses. Try some, you will not be disappointed!
#3 – Not enough variation
Boredom and staleness inevitably leads to burn out and non-compliance. If you are not motivated by what’s about to happen in your training session, CHANGE IT.
#2 – Isolation Exercises
Okay, pet peeve #3, the overweight guy or gal who spends all their time doing bicep curls and calf raises!
Compound lifts such as squats, presses, rows, lunges etc. are the way to go as they are far superior for not only burning calories and increasing fitness, they are also better at getting you stronger! These types of exercises are functional in nature: this simply means that they allow our bodies and muscles to get stronger in the exact same fashion that they will have to work in real, everyday life.
And now…..drumroll please! The #1 thing that most people do wrong in gyms today is…..
#1 – Not obeying the ‘Overload Principle’!
Here’s a newsflash for everyone, fitness is not easy and fitness will not come fast.
The NUMBER ONE principle in exercise physiology 101 is the Overload Principle. Simply stated, this principle tells us that in order to elicit change on our bodies we must OVERLOAD it or go beyond what we normally do.
All this feel-good, new age crap about never pushing your body to failure or never ending a set with a hard repetition is about as silly as saying Pilates will ‘tone’ your muscles while weights will make them ‘bulky’….what?!

Healthy Recipe for your Easter Break
HEART-HEALTHY
RECIPES
Home is where the heart is.
It's also the best place to charge up your ticker. Ramp up your home cooking

onion, curry powder, coriander, fennel seeds, white button mushrooms, chickpeas,
carrot, walnuts, cilantro, salt, pepper, flour

veggie burger, and your heart will reap the benefits. Walnuts and olive oil are
great sources of monounsaturated fat, which can lower both total and low-density
(bad) cholesterol and keep plaque from forming in blood vessels. The omega-3
fatty acids in walnuts may reduce your risk of a heart attack, and the beans are
a super source of soluble fiber, which decreases your risk for heart attack and
stroke.

Resolve to become better at whatever you do starting today! 5 General Ways For a Better Lifestyle, Fitness and Health.
Definition of Life style: A way of life or style of living that reflects the attitudes and values of a person or group A lot of people go through life used to a certain lifestyle only because that is what they have known from birth. Our family, friends, work; media all shape the lifestyle we live. Some never get the opportunity to be exposed to anything different and easily develop habits which live with them till death.
We are all generally averse to change and some NEVER admit to having an unhealthy or adverse lifestyle and shut themselves off to anything better. There are however lot of ways to break the habit and live a better life because lets admit it we can all be better them we are now. A lot of us are desperate for a lifestyle change, lifestyle lift, healthier lifestyle, lifestyle fitness. Let’s look at 5 ways to do this.
1. Improve your Mind.
It cannot be over emphasized the importance or having an improved and open mindset. The first change has to come from within. How can you do this? Self discipline… We sometimes know what is right for us and how improve our lives but never do it because we tell our minds that it can’t be done, it’s not worth doing, do it as you know it. Without self discipline it is very difficult to live differently. Get a diary or a small book, writing out your goals. Start with e.g. eleven things to achieve in 2012. Make a commitment to yourself and discipline your mind and strive to achieve your goals. You can set daily goals, weekly or monthly lifestyle improvement goals. You then have action these goals and tick them off your list.
2. Always Know Your Starting point.
We down play our achievements only because we never take stock of our starting point. To make a positive and improved lifestyle, note your current state. Example, if you want to become healthier and loose 2 stones. The wise thing to do is weight yourself now and then you will know if you have achieved your goal in say 2 months. The same will apply to all your goals and by the end of a year you will be surprised how far you have come. Any change is a radical step as you all telling your whole body that we are changing course, you must know how effective the change has been.
3. Boost Your Energy Level.
Feeling energetic is a key to happiness and to self-esteem, so take steps to keep your energy high. Exercise, even a quick ten-minute walk will increase your energy and boost your mood, this really works. Energy (or lack of energy) is contagious. If you feel and act energetic, you’ll help the people around you feel energetic, too. Be careful also of what you read and watch as this makes you energetic or not. You have to sole responsibility with what enters your body. Get enough sleep, listen to good music, talk to friends as all these will give you a lifestyle change.
4. Watch your entry points (ears and eyes).
There are two main entry points into your body and most of us never control what comes in. Your life will be shaped by what you listen, read, watch. Ignore all the junk on TV for at least an evening in a week and search the Internet for, lifestyle questionnaires, join lifestyle blogs, read healthy lifestyle tips. Look for lifestyle websites and find products to improve your lifestyle.
5. Live a Luxury Lifestyle the easy way.
This is somehow a controversial point but a luxurious lifestyle need not be luxurious and I will explain. Did you know that rich people live a very cheap lifestyle? A rich man or woman will but an expensive car which will not break down for the next 6 years, the rich will shop in bulk taking advantage of all the offers of buying in bulk, they will pay for a gym and get all the best exercise available e.t.c. The one who settles for a “mediocre” lifestyle buys a second hand car that is serviced every two weeks and at the end of a year will cost more than an expensive car. We sometimes buy things on a daily basis and end up spending more, will eat any food and exercise very little or not at all. You can choose to live in luxury by spending a little bit more now to gain in future. Dress well and be fashionable.
There are so many benefits of a better lifestyle, if you cannot do it alone there are lifestylers or lifestyle coaches who can always give you the needed start but it is ultimately your decision if you want a change.
