1. Wearing flip flops while lifting is very unsafe, not to mention, STUPID. Don't ask for sympathy when a dumbbell falls on your foot.

2.Walking to your car after exiting the gym with a cigarette hanging from your mouth is just....yeahhhhh. Maybe wait until you leave the gym premises for your fix? :rolleyes:

BWAHAHAHAHA! I love those!

Debbie, you kill me.

How about this one?

Years ago I was a serious runner and my DH was a serious smoker. On a lark, he entered a very large (10,000 participants) 10K race with me.

After the race (and while still wearing his running clothes and race number), he bummed a cigarette off of some guy at the train station on the way back home.

I wish I'd had a camera! :D
 
My mom used to go to aerobics class and then stand outside the door to the studio and smoke.

Mom still smokes, but no longer does aerobics...


I have lifted weights in my flip flops before. Don't do bandwork where you need to anchor a band under your foot. I got a fat lip not too long ago from a band smacking me in the face after it slipped from under my sport sandal. I'll admit stupidity here! :)
 
P.S. ...

My DH no longer smokes! Now he works out hard, tries to eat clean, and recently lost 12 lbs!

He even does Cathe workouts with me on the weekend! He marvels at her strength ... and mine! :)
 
I lift wts bare footed all the time :eek: Honestly, I don't think a shoe will protect my feet much if I drop a heavy DB anyway.
 
Oh believe me Catherine, that shoe makes a difference! I dropped a 25 lb plate on my foot once--only about 6 inches, I was in the process of re-racking--I had a knot, a bruise & a hairline fracture, but I think it would've been shattered without the shoe.

Debbie, your post reminded me of Cathe's 2005 RT--I was so shocked to see some of her staff outside the Four Seasons smoking! :eek:
 
I don't care if ya smoke and I don't care if ya smoke right after a work out-I used to all the time! What would boggle my mind is if someone could be found in their home lifting weights with a lit cigarette in the ashtray, taking puffs between sets! And I'm sure if ya looked you could find MANY!LOL

I've tried lifting with bare feet. I just can't do it. It doesn't feel right. I don't know why??

Pearlstrand(Kathryn): I give your Dh a lot of credit for even being able to run that 10k as a smoker! I could NEVER have done that! Some how I was able to keep up with Cathe pretty well but never in a million years could I have ran! I run now but didn't start until well after I quit.
 
I like to lift while wearing one of those bear hats with straws. Gives me a little buzzzzz.

Well, that's one way to plump your lips without collagen!
 
There was nothing like lighting up a cigarette after a work out. Ah, the good ole days when I must much thinner. :confused:

ITA Jennie...:p. I used to take power walks and then light up a cigarrette when I got home. You can inhale much deeper when the lungs are "primed.":eek:

Hmmm...a beer helmet where it contains a cigarrette holder...hmmm...I smell millions:D:D!! Ok, that smell may actually be lung disease and cirrhosis...

Carrie, you crack me up. I knew there was a reason I liked you. We think alike.
