Just thought these were some really cool work gloves. "Ironclad Industrial Impact--Rigger Cut" These were just hanging around the local clothing store. They not only look like superhero gloves covered in orange, yellow, and black duraclad padding ready to WHAM BAM! But they also feel that way when you put them on with all the rubberized ruggedized protection. Hmm, wonder whether these would be good in the gym for weightlifting... Now who actually goes to work wearing these things? Its probably got to be a pretty "macho" man or women job. ;-) (Source Photo: Andy Blumenthal)
Thought this was pretty funny. I went to the gym to do some lifting. And low and behold, someone had left this funny message:
"Dear Tarzan, Please put the heavy weights back so I can move the bar up and down." Thank you, Jane"
How creative a message was that! Tarzan and Jane, nice sense of humor. Effectively asks for what she wants--put away the weights when you're done! Is polite about it--please and thank you. Must've worked because the bar was unencumbered and moving up and down fine, and there was no leftover heavy weights to be found. A little thoughtful note can go a long way. ;-) (Source Photo: Andy Blumenthal)
It's good to be getting back to myself. Starting off with the light ones--yeah, just getting warmed up. ;-) Thank you Hashem! (Source Video: Dannielle Blumenthal)
I took this photo of the wallpaper at the gym. It has "motivate" embossed under the lady with the sparring gloves. They have similar hangings for swimming, weightlifting, cycling, and more around the fitness center. I like them--they are motivational. Would be nice if the place also had some big windows, but this ain't bad to keep it fresh. BAM! Exercise. BAM! Stay healthy and fit. BAM! ;-) (Source Photo: Andy Blumenthal)
