Lissa's accident made me think of this.

You're officially a gym rat when your workout plans get mucked up and your mind is racing to figure out how to fit in that workout.

You're officially a gym rat when you get cranky because of a missed workout.

You're officially a gym rat when you're searching ebay for exercise DVD's (thank you Paula) and you say "Oh Cool!". Husband says "What?" You say, "It's a Marine boot camp DVD." Husband says "Why is that cool?" You say "Because it sounds like fun." Husband shakes head.

Good ones!


You're officially a gym rat when you hear yourself saying...


I'm so proud of myself for NOT going to the gym and taking a needed day off instead.

Jean,

I don't think you're anymore lame than when I was on the couch surrounded by pillows and squeezing my glutes because it was all I could do. :)

How about--when you haven't been to the gym, people there notice.


When you can't get in everything you want, in a week.


When someone tells you there's a killer class and you can't wait to try it out.

when you are a regular on a gym rats message board (obvious i know, but true!)


when one of your first priorities in moving to a new town is to find a good gym


when you exercise at your desk at work


when you think it's fun to spend a weekend working out and learning about fitness at a conference like DCAC or Can Fit Pro

You're officially a gym rat when ...

All the other regular gym rats know you by sight and name,

The occassional gym goers are constantly asking you for advice,

You've seen other gym rats watching you workout or making positive comments about your workout,

Your husband and/or friends suggest you get certified.
