For all of you Apartmentites out there who fear going to the gym, fear no more. If your community has a state of the art fitness center (which most of them do), it’s time for you to take full advantage.
Don’t waste money and time driving to a big expensive gym, when you have everything that you will need to get in shape and stay that way included in the cost of rent and right there in your own community.
I have had several fellow Apartmentites mention that they feel uncomfortable at the BIG GYM with all the greasy people who stare all day and try to impress eachother. Most apartment fitness centers are NOTHING like this. In fact, many times you will be able to find a nice peaceful workout without anyone else around you.
There are a few simple rules of etiquette that you and your neighbors should follow when working out in your apartment’s fitness center.
1. Wipe It Down- Some communities will supply this, but if not, bring a small towel or old cloth with you that you can wipe the machines down when you get done with your work out. Nothing is more gross than getting on a machine, sticking your hands on the handles, and realizing that you just pressed your clean hands on someone else’s nasty sweat. So be kind and wipe your machines down.
2. No Body Thinks You’re Cool if you are slamming weights around with the loud clang. In fact, they may think that it is more of a nuisance when you make that noise. If you can’t control it while you lift it, you should take some weight off. Dropping the weights down do no good for you or anyone else and can even lead to injury.
3. Replace Your Weights- Make sure and put the weights back on the rack when you finish working with them. Don’t just leave them on the floor for someone to trip over.
4. Volume- When you get done with your workout and are headed home, make sure you turn the volume down on the television or radio if you were the only one using it. I’ve walked into the fitness center a few times to a blasting TV and noone in there. Not fun for my ears.
5. Share- Remember that you and those around you in the fitness center are all neighbors, so share the weights and machines if need be. Be kind to your neighbors. Who knows, You might make a good friend!

You should only intake 2-3 servings of fish a week because of the mercury content. And don’t think you’re getting omega 3s from farm-raised fish. Wild Atlantic salmon are probably you’re best bet.
Bonus: Mercury is deadly to the brain. In fact, it accumulates and causes disorders/diseases like Alzheimer’s or dementia.
Because you don’t have much animal protein in your diet, I would suggest that you see a health professional before you continue this.
a diet should be a lifestyle. Ok, call me a smarta**

In most gyms, people who are circuit training do have the right of way. However, I really get irritated when I see plates sitting on a rack or bar for a long time doing nothing while I have for the person to finish his "circuit" to get on, especially if they won't let me work in.
So, a few things to consider – if the gym is particularly busy when you go, maybe cut down some on the circuit training and do supersets instead, so you're not taking up too many stations. If you are circuit training, be sure that you're really circuit training and not just "giant setting" which is ineffecient and inconsiderate to others (the point of circuit training is to go to each exercise immediately after the other while keeping your heart rate up). Finally, allow people to work in and alternate with them; you may have to wait once in a while for them to complete and to reset your weight, but at least you're able to keep the stations you want. It may not be ideal to what you're looking for, but since we have to share the gym with others we have to learn to work together and coexist.
If you feel you must have your circuit training, perhaps you could go at a time of day when the gym isn't busy.
Etiquette varies from gym to gym, but I don't know any place where it's acceptable to just take over a court where other people are playing without saying anything to them.
If it's at a fitness center, your best move is probably to go find the manager and ask him what their policy is regarding the basketball courts. Tell him what happened and ask him to post a copy of the policy somewhere near the courts to avoid future confrontations.
How do I gain weight? I eat as much as I can (I’m poor) but cannot seem to stop losing weight.
It must be my job that has me walking, laying, getting back up 100’s of times of day.
It isn’t your diet, it’s your fucking lifestyle, you pigs.
