We all have different reasons for working out, whether it's to lose weight, to obtain rock-hard abs, or to stay healthy. Whatever the motivation, for some of us, getting to the gym is an achievement unto itself. So when people there are rude, gross, or downright annoying, it can be frustrating and possible harmful. For example, customers who fail to wipe sweat from exercise equipment have reportedly been known to pass on communicable diseases such as rashes to other people. Cell-phone yakkers or excessively loud grunters have caused serious trainers to lose concentration and strain muscles. And weightlifters have been known to improperly secure those weights and injure themselves or others. So the next time your at the gym, think about your health and the health of those sharing that equipment.
Here’s a health talk for you if you’re concerned about leg pain and vascular health. Mark it on your calendar now. It’s set for Tuesday, March 13th at 5:30 p.m. at our Health Connection location inside Northpark Mall. Registration is required so call St. John`s Referral One at 625-2000 or log onto stj.com.
