When your music is on you have the right of way and skate your program as expressively as you can (when you compete you get points for that). Totally different vibe from the gym, I'm sure. When it's other folks' turn, their music is generally good stuff-- classical, movie themes, possibly a few show tunes. Ear buds or cell phones on the ice would be a very bad idea.Mary @ Fit and Fedhttp://fitandfed.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-62147785214400528262012-07-01T18:22:33.023-04:002012-07-01T18:22:33.023-04:00Definite yes to number two!

Of course that is while reading a book, I am not sure how well I would do actually trying to work out as I have never stepped foot inside a gym.

LOVE singing at 120 decibels. It's all very hypocritical. But I don't bring it out in public. Very much.<br /><br />Our dog... Emma--the Divine Ms. Em--just lets it go. When she scratches or licks herself, she makes SCREAMING noises. The rescue where we got her warned us of this and said she's been checked by the vet and is healthy. Just seems to want to frequently relive the deli scene from "When Harry Met Sally".

I threw my back out while acting like an ass on my exercise ball. Apparently It cannot be ridden like a pony. I also slipped off the eliptical a while ago while pretending to hurdle an imaginary thing. It really hurt and I fell so loudly that hubs ran downstairs to see if I keeled. I promised to stop fake hurdling.<br /><br />When I catch people out in the woods singing or dancing I always call them on it in a friendly way. Best to own these things. Anyone worth knowing MUST have some sort of personal hyjinks. If someone catches me, I beat them to the call and call myself out.<br /><br />In the gym I do not want to hear you sing but I enjoy laughing at your grunting. Don't be mad. If you are getting all animal in public, I get to laugh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
