The first casualty

[xraytheenforcer]

hahaha. The prednisone Hulk-like rage just took its first victim -- the exercise thread at Westeros. I have to be honest -- I cannot stand people who crap all over those of us who prefer or need to go to a gym rather than "exercise outside like Gawd intended." Suck out my farts, you know-it-all know-nothings.

**This is not a slam on those who prefer to run outside. It's awesome that you can. Due to my asthma, I cannot. But I am most certainly not "destroying my body" because I run on a fucking treadmill.

Don't make Martha angry. You won't like her when she's angry!




I didn't read the thread, but what the hell? While I'm all for excercise outside when possible, you have to consider:
1) bad weather (have you guys also been getting the 40 days and 40 nights of rain we have--it blows)
2) lack of daylight hours when one isn't at work (which is a big problem for us for 4 or 5 months each winter)
3) lack of safe areas, especially for women working out alone
4) not to mention the superior variety of equipment, pool, classes, etc. at the gym.

Yep. All of the above. Mostly I was pissed off on behalf of other people (like Lany and all of the other women who lurk in that thread and are struggling with weight loss) who get slammed by people for not conforming to whatever they think is the "right" workout. And there's a vocal contingent in that thread who crap all over those who go to the gym. So fucking annoying.
