Coach’s Corner:

As I was contemplating what direction I was going with this post today, it hit me like a ton of bricks while I was running on the treadmill.

My normal routine, I run 3 to 4 miles every morning, whether on the treadmill or outdoors. It depends on the weather.

Today was the treadmill. I get my headphones on, turn on the Today’s Show, bump my speed up and it’s go time. I hear talking behind me, LOUD talking behind me.   Mind you, earphones on and Hoda and Kathy Lee are entertaining me. I stop running to turn around to someone on the stairmaster talking on speaker phone. As loud as her volume will turn up on her phone, she is holding a conversation. First, I don’t want to hear your conversation nor do I care. Second, have a little respect for those around you.  Third, I wanted to throw her phone across the room.

It was that moment gym etiquette hit me. I am attaching the article below that states every aspect of how I feel about this. It truly is worth the read. Some people just may not realize they do it. Common courtesy of equipment, space, locker rooms, hygiene, and now cell phones can go a long way.

The Article is called The Ultimate Guide to Gym Etiquette. Enjoy!
