(32,132 posts)The make-up thing is what really cracks me up. Why do women spend the time to paint their faces and perfectly coif their hair, and then work out? I don't know about you, but I sweat BUCKETS. There are actual puddles of the stuff under my bike after spinning classes. NO WAY I am going to put any effort into fixing my hair and putting on make-up beforehand. Not that I wear make-up anyway. Heck, half the time my clothes don't even match.
I have heard horror stories from some of the instructors at my gym, too. We get people who want to lose weight, and do some really stupid things. And, sadly, the bulk of them are women. They'll come into class covered in sweat clothes, or you'll still see the occasional guy in a sauna suit. Every so often, the spinning instructors will get a woman who passes out in class. Usually, they're trying to lose weight, and they haven't eaten in two days, or they don't drink anything, believing that they're going to get rid of water weight. I fear one of these days, one of them will go into cardiac arrest.
