"I was reading a post on a blog recently where the writer admitted that hot guys at the gym motivates her to go and work harder. I know I&amp;#x27;ve heard from some of you who have the opposite feelings: Any attention from guys at the gym, you&amp;#x27;ve said, is annoying. Let&amp;#x27;s chat... In a post over on The Next Great Generation about how to stop hating the gym, writer Erica Dermer shared her list, and she admits that the hot guy next to her on the Elliptical, is, well, sorta motivating! Here&amp;#x27;s what she said: &amp;quot;I will shamelessly admit I pass most of my time people-watching at the gym,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;I&amp;amp;#8217;ve actually changed my workout schedule in order to go to the gym when the hottest guys show up (I&amp;amp;#8217;ve found it was 6-8 p.m., which may vary depending on your particular gym). If I spend the time imagining what the hot dude next to me on the treadmill does for a living, or starring at the endless full-sleeve tattoos, it takes my mind off of actually exerting effort. Just don&amp;amp;#8217;t stare too long! Creep alert.&amp;quot; I think this is funny, and as a married girl, I will plead the 5th. :) But I&amp;#x27;d love to hear from you ...
