I am staring through a jungle of metal bars, looking for my future target. I am as ready as a soldier for battle, I spot a man using the machine I had been waiting for, I am up next. I see him grind out his last set and I immediately grab a paper towel and clean up my machine. I walk up as the sweaty man with terrible b.o stands up and just walks away, disgusting. It made me want to run to my car and drive home. As I look over at the man who gunked up the machine in distaste and I see him sit down at another, and make sure to steer clear of whatever he uses the rest of my workout. In slow motion I grab a paper towel and put some cleaner on it and make sure to clean the machine spotless before laying a finger on it. From that day on, I will …show more content…
Right before sitting down with the music blaring through my headphones, I notice sweat all over the seat and handle, it is glistening in the artificial sun coming from the gym's ceiling. Disgusted and angry that my workout has been disrupted, I have to go find towels clean down the machine then carry on. It ruins the rest of my grind time and makes me want to sprint back to my freezing gasoline guzzler. Here is some research that backs up my claim: gym members who don’t wipe down their machine at the gym when they’re done lose 50% of the gains they attempted to get that day. It is a proven study and nothing can help them unless the thoroughly clean it THEMSELVES. As explained it really grind my gears when people commit this terrible act. I have thought on many occasions to confront the felon who murdered the gain creator with their sweat. I have never actually confronted someone about it as it would just be petty. They know it is the right thing to do, yet they continue to drop the ball every time on this simple task. It really makes me think to why someone would do this, are they lazy, tired, or have they forgotten? I give it my all to give the person a deathly glare on the behalf of me and everyone else who was planning to use that
This was proven false in this experiment. There really was no bacteria on the sit-n-reach box. According to the data the Treadmill had a lot more bacteria on it than the sit-n-reach box. The sit-n-reach box did not have much bacteria on it at all. Than also according to the data my hypothesis of if if I use the Swiffer Wetjet Wood Floor Cleaner than the number of bacteria will decrease failed. After using the cleaner the bacteria actually grew a little bit, it did not decrease, so that was a fail on the hypothesis. I think that cleaning the sit-n-reach box actually gave the box more contact with something, which made it so that bacteria grew
tremendous amount of sweat that would run down my face while I stood out in
Thirteen thousand square feet of machines, weights, ropes, chains, and pain. The fluorescent lamps fill the room with an unnatural light. Sunlight, just like excuses, is not allowed in Satan’s lair. Each horse is paired up with his driver. A seven minute warm-up is prescribed by the trainer, and so it starts. I jump on the stationary bicycle. A light breeze against my bare legs blows gently attempting to cool me, but does little to diminish the internal burn of the quadriceps and hamstrings. Upon completion of the warm up, John Thomas, former Navy S.E.A.L., commands me to join him at the manual neck resistance station.
In recent years, more and more people have become aware of crime and murder. It is something that has affected them, their families, and their neighborhoods. Just about everyone in the world knows someone who has become a victim of murder, rape, or robbery. In most cases, the suspects are heartless and have no remorse in regards to the crime they committed. Some individuals are repeat offenders who have received a slap on the wrist from the justice system or only faced small jail time.
People often get caught up in the idea of capital punishment and what it means to others. For some individuals, it is a good feeling to see others suffer for their crimes. Meanwhile, others view the consequences as quite horrendous. I believe if an individual commits a serious crime, he or she should prepare to suffer the consequences. So strong is the desire to make others suffer for their crimes, we loose sight of what is right and wrong.
There is no elevator leading up to the cardio loft rendering it inaccessible to individuals using wheelchairs. Both locker rooms are located along the back wall of the gym. They each include wide entrances that lead into large open areas with lockers. Some of the lockers are lower to the ground while others are up much higher off the ground, allowing for easy access. The bathroom areas of the locker rooms are somewhat crowded, but each include a single wheelchair accessible stall equipped with bars to make transfers from wheelchairs easier. There is also one shower adapted to meet the needs of people in wheelchairs included in each bathroom. These showers are very spacious and are flush with the floor allowing them to easily be entered
When it comes to choice of where to workout it is a complete personal preference. Some people do not like the thought of people staring at them or watching them workout because they are not at the place they wish to be at yet. This is only one other thing that sets people in this discourse community apart from themselves. In some instances, this can become a disadvantage for the person pushing towards a specific goal. Certain goals can be pushed to the side or completely forgotten about because of the discomfort people feel placing themselves in a place like a gym for the first time.
It is very common for people to exercise too much and for the wrong reasons, once they become addicted, it is not that they want to, but that they have to exercise. People often start over exercising because they want to lose weight in order to look good, or they might be going through a hard moment and they think that by exercising they will feel better. It becomes a problem when their self-image connects to their ability to exercise, so they begin to base their value as human beings on how much they exercise o how much time they spend time working out. ¨Compulsive exercisers think that they must exercise every single day to stay the same shape and size¨.

My family has always enjoyed driving for fun. We would always go on drives around the state or to other states. Although, we always wanted something other than a car or bike to drive.
“We’re moving,” said my mother after she had enough. I just wanted to make her happy after everything she had been through. She lived an arduous life: she escaped communist Vietnam, only to settle down and subsequently deal with a decaying marriage that forced her to raise me alone. I didn’t ask questions or wonder about all the things I was leaving behind. In the long run, I just wanted to please everyone.
I rip out my pistol from my pocket and a woman in front of me. Bang! She drops to the floor. A second shot fired but not from my gun. I look down at my stomach and blood is seeping. A blood curtailing screams comes from the crowd and they
Its’ another morning and the room is white. There are bars all around and the smell of cleaner is everywhere. Soon I see a person holding a tube of something. The person is coming towards me. Suddenly I’m out of the bars and sitting on a table. The person held me down and put the tube against me. It burns! I want to run but cant. My heart rate goes up and I start to tremble. This will be done several times a day with several different tubes. Law requires I get pain medication but it is minimal and wears off quickly.
I sat there in the gym sauna after an intense practice, attempting to capture grey drops of sweat dripping from my face into a test tube while stomaching concerned looks from the other women. I was collecting the sweat for a Nanoscience research project. The class was rigorous as it entailed a semester long research project which deterred most from this fascinating course, but attracted me because I knew it would be my only opportunity to try any sort of research before college.
It is reasonably simple to draw positive conclusions on the washing machines impact, and I will explain some of those. There has also been some negative effects and some interesting social change regarding cleanliness standards.
