shorty shake that thang like a pro mann*

sometimes while doing cardio i glance around the gym and note some of the other training styles. for fun i sometimes even try to figure out what their training goals might be. as you can know some folks are at the gym specifically to gain basic health benefits and others clearly have sport specific or career specific goals.

which bring us to what i saw today. i think i shall nickname this woman 'nightclub neda'. this particular woman's training style suggests she has physique goals in mind. in fact i am fairly confident that she is a competitor however of late i have noticed a fairly peculiar behavioural pattern.

from time to time 'nightclub neda' positions herself in front of a mirror. she raises up onto the balls of her feet as though she were wearing heels and she proceeds to do a slow, hip-rolling, shoulder swaying two-step. if she were just dancing in front of the mirror i don't think i would find it as peculiar but she watches herself intently as she dances. it looks like she is trying to figure out what works best.

now before you accuse me of being mean i should add, in my defence, that i am giving the woman a hell of a lot of credit. truth be told she is a mere pelvic undulation away from earning the title of 'stripper stacey.'

you would think after thirteen years i'd stop being amazed by what i see on the gym floor.

*my apologies to 50 cent but his lyric really kinda fit this post... knawmean?
