Bench has to be parallel to the entertainment center. The surface of it must be clean. And all workout apparatus must be put back in its place afterwards. Other than that, I'm pretty easy-going...;-)

"Oh and my workout shoes need to be pulled tight and double knotted."
*********************
The double knot! Yes, I almost forgot about that! It's a big one of mine! Double knotted sneakers are a must!

In this Texas heat, I HAVE to have the AC full blast. Of course, it annoys the crap out of me to have the ceiling fan and the air from the vents blowing wisps of hair around my face. So I use tons of bobby pins & grit my teeth until I'm sweaty enough to slick the hair back with my sweat, and then that doesn't always work. Uggghhh!!!

Candi-
That's my one reason for wanting to move out of the city: to have my own workout room. A 3-bedroom apt. in Manhattan now starts at $2 million. And that's just not an option for me. The value of our apt. has almost doubled since we bought it. I keep thinking of selling, taking the profits, moving to Colorado (my DH's co. is headquarted there, and most of the guys he works with live around there) and, finally, having the workout room I've been dreaming of for about 30 years now!! A nice little 9-to-5 job maybe. Ahhhh.
Sorry, your post just sent me off into fantasy land....

This is really OCD! I had a hardwood floor in my workout room at my other house and when I would get ready to step, my bench HAD to be perfectly lined up with one of the cracks between the planks of wood. If my step moved during the workout I would quickly kick it back to where it belonged trying not to miss a beat! Oh BOY! http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/rolleye/rolleye13.gif We don't have the workout room finished at our new place sooo maybe, I'll break that habit???

Ha Nancy! Your bed must be on wheels? We have a Tempurpedic and it could not be adjusted every time I get in bed. Maybe that is why it stays put! :7

This is an absolutely hysterical thread.
Like so many others, my OC relates to the position of my step. It needs to be perfectly parallel to the TV. I also can't stand to see a piece of lint on the carpet while I am working out. I also have to have sugar free popsicles when I am finished working out.

Okay, I am with you all on the bench being perfectly straight.
But here is my biggest OCD -- I must, absolutely must, do the exact same number of repetitions (whether lifting or stepping) on each side. In Cathe's older step routines she sometimes does not "balance out" the work equally on each leg. I will mentally keep track and then add on the appropriate number to equal out at the end of the routine.
