Gym Follies

I discovered today why gyms often restrict children often under the age of 18 on premise. I went to the complex gym today and their was a girl under the posted 21, I'll guess 14. She was walking on the treadmill on the very SLOWEST setting .02? She would take a step then tap the side then repeat, when she got board she would turn around and walk back-words then turn around and drag her foot on the belt for a few minutes (while standing on the side). Then she must have gotten really board she decided to run on the treadmill. Sounds normal right?? Well she did not have sneakers on, sigh, so she took her shoes off. EWWWWWWWWWWW!! The running must have tired her out, or she lost interest but she was soon walking around the rest of the gym with no shoes on. I lost track of her at that point. but who walks around a gym with bare feet.

I remember going to the gym at that age or even younger, I definitely did not do anything like that. The kicker is I would have used that treadmill. Luckily the elliptical was open so i still got a good workout.
