I think I joined the good ol' boys club - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I guess I underestimated how much the social aspect of the gym motivated me to get up in the morning. At past gyms, I always seemed to make a few friends with the regulars. It was nice to have someone to talk it up with while on a machine or before a class, especially for me who has limited adult contact during the day.

My new gym is weird. First, I am almost always the only woman doing free weights. Most of the guys stand around and talk hunting and football in their thick Mississippi accents. The few women there are real Southern bells. I go at 5 freakin' 30 a.m. with my furry morning teeth and bed head. They're there in full makeup and cute little tennis skirts. (And yes, Goat, most have manmade knockers.) It's like a pseudo country club.

There aren't many classes at this gym and I am getting bored. Any motivational advice for me? Any fun workout plan I could work in to my weekly routine? Or should just start following Ole Miss football and go native?
