Mistakes women make at the gym

[HaddocksEyes 205]

Good info for sure, but the tone is kinda douchey and does nothing to improve upon the stereotypes associated with male gym rats, which i think are at least partly to blame as well for women often fearing to go to the men's side of the gym (to the free weights, for example).

LOL - I love to go to the men's side and lift just as heavy as some of the guys (but not all of them,, at least not yet). "Little woman" - yeah, there's nothing little about me.

I am still very intimidated about going to the boys side of the gym is free weights to do make me nervous. My gym has a woman's only section that has pretty free weights in Pink and blues don't look so intimidating. I know I'm a girly girl, actually you know what I'm not. I'm just not a gym rat. I go there to feel better about myself. The big bulky man standing around those free weights grunting makes me nervous I'm only 5 foot two and I'm pretty strong but I don't want to stand around grunting.

Actually, it's excellent advice, assuming you want to achieve what the writer assumes you want to achieve, which could be true or not.
