Week 5

I went back to the Rec on Tuesday, March 4, 2008 around 11:17 in the morning.

When I walked in I did not expect it to be as much people as it was at the this time of the day. I assumed that everyone came at a later time after lunch. There were about thirteen people in the workout room; six females, including the attendant for the time being and the rest were guys. I noticed three seniors who were there in the jogging pants, one in shorts. Two were lifting dumbells no heavier than twenty five pounds, while the other senior was reading a novel.

There was a guy dressed in all black on the stair master. I assumed he was trying to get his calves toned up. Two females were on treadmill listening to their music devices, next to them was a very attractive guy with bulging muscles. He was also listening to a music device. Most of the guys were on the opposite side of the room where all the heavy weights were.

For so many people to be there, wasn't much really going on. Around 11:30 a new desk attendant came in to relieve the female worker. He was more energetic and friendly than her. He spoke to everyone including me, I assumed that he must really love his job. He soon started to pick up around the area, he even straightened some of the magazines in the rack. He kept this pace for about ten more minutes then he sat down and started reading a textbook.

The senior men were done exercising, but that don't mean that they left the room. I could hear them laughing out loud, the same one was still enjoying his novel. A few more other people started to come in but I decided to call it day....I had a class at 12pm.
