The fitness website, Nerd Fitness, has
a post up today on the various types you'll see at the gym. I found it amusing.
Nerd Fitness is, by the way, a very friendly and supportive place as long as you are doing the work. Every level of fitness, ability, etc., is welcome -- as long as you don't whine, don't make excuses, and are doing the work. (The site has a vocal paleo/primal membership, but that's not everyone's approach.)
ETA: <=== This paragraph represents my perception of the views of Nerd Fitness, not my personal views. I find the site very funny, but I stopped participating in the forums of the community for these reasons. Your personal mileage may vary.ETA: Nerd Fitness is prescriptive, and thinks there are right and wrong ways to eat and exercise, and to think about and approach eating and exercise.
Basically, like ALL fitness and health information on the internet, approach with caution.
ETA 2: You know, I realized I didn't apologize. I'm sorry. I thought my OP remarks were clear enough warning of the kind of humor in the post, and they weren't. That's my error. I apologize.
