Amen. Some people are pieces of work. It's not like when you're in school and in your 20s when people have far fewer ulterior motives and less of that convoluted baggage that it could still be considered workable.

The bench portion of my workout is in front of mirrors, and I love it for that reason. But when i do cardio, I want to focus on solitude and mental health, so I agree with the Gentleman from Italy here. It's unreal, this will not end well. No hope for a lasting cease fire. You can't have an agreement where neither party is capable of acting in good faith. I am forwarding this to my wife. As I get older...

@A Horse With No Name If you want to see a VAST array of American Iron, take the Amtrak train from Chicago to Seattle. It was AMAZING to see all the lined up trucks and cars from just about every make lined up in the fields by the train tracks heading west. It is an amazing site to see all the old autos rusting away in the fields as well as some of the abandoned small towns that the trains go by. You could also do the Seattle to Chicago ride. Still amazing sites to behold. Empire Builder Seattle To Chicago

One minute and cool

I love junkyards, you see the most amazing stuff crushed. When I was a kid a local junkyard had a lot of rare and interesting cars from the 1950s....one day I went by and they had all been crushed. Have seen everything imaginable in junkyards. Speaking of abandoned stuff, want to see North Dakota. I love the turquoise on this...

WOW, amazing how trashed an expensive auto can become on top of the illegal ODO roll back. Sad

Just not Ellipticals, all cardio equipment is recommended to face a mirror wall so that as you work out, you can also monitor your posture. Most people will get lazy and hang on the equipment which is not good for the back. The mirrors allow you to monitor yourself in working out, square shoulders, straight back, pumping the arms fully, etc. To quote the medical industry: Proper form and technique: Mirrors allow people to check and correct their exercise form and technique in real time. Visual reference: Mirrors help individuals maintain correct posture and form during workouts. Motivation and performance: Seeing oneself in the mirror can boost motivation and performance. Preventing injuries: Checking form helps prevent injuries during exercise.

They don't have that at the gym I use.

Random thought and pet peeve: Why the f*** do they position ellipticals so you're staring right into a ceiling height wall of mirrors? For 20 to 30 minutes? I wouldn't have wanted that when I was 20 or 30. It's obnoxious. I've seen the glass or mirrors be located behind the ellipticals or treadmills. Maybe they worry that someone getting off them might move too far back and hit the mirrored wall. That's the only thing I can think of. There is a lot of crappy design and layout of exercise facilities.

I vote for real folks who don't speak English, please. Learning Spanish as rapidly as I can.
