Carly: YOU are fabulous. Thank you — and remember, only a few months until shorts-and-t-shirt outdoor workouts return.

I rarely post comments on any articles, but after reading this article I felt compelled to post. This article is absolutely fabulous. I cannot agree more on every part and every point, right down to the muscle milk and coffee. I look forward to spring and summer, not only for the out door runs and sunshine but also because by that time all of the people who have decided that their resolutions were too much to bare have finally left the gym for the rest of us to enjoy. Thank you, and happy exercising!

OR….. you are all invited to move to San Francisco, where the weather is OK enough almost every day of the year to jog down to the Par Course fitness trail (there are actually several in different parks) and work out in the out-of-doors, interrupted only (in my elderly case) occasionally by hunky guys telling you you’re doing just great and encouraging you onward. I gave up gyms for all the above reasons, failed yoga, have to say the par course is in a fresh-air class of its own.

Okay, there is January, which is bad. But then there are Family Sundays, which are far worse!

Great read. I especially love the Muscle Milk part. Aside from the fact that there’s no proof that any of that stuff does anything, you’re not Schwarzennager, you don’t need it. I would also add, please people invest in a couple pairs of spandex shorts to wear under your gym shorts. I really don’t need to see your flabby pasty ass while you awkwardly attempt to do bicycles or leg raises on your back. Keep up the great work.

Funny piece. Yes, here comes another influx of people who will be standing in my gym’s only squat rack doing bicep curls and forearm exercises. The management staff will encourage these folks to keep curling so the big scary guys dont start grunting and working hard. Of course at 155lbs Im not really one those scary guys, but they will discourage any kind of Olympic lift anyway, pointing to their cable machines and smith racks. I need a new gym
