Saturn in Cancer in 11th. (Trine Sun and square Pluto, but I don't know if the aspects have much to do with anything.)

If I'm going to work out in a gym (which I rarely do anyway), I wait until it's late and there aren't many people there. I prefer to work out at home, or by doing normal things that give me a good workout inadvertently.

(Virgo Moon likes privacy and practicality, Pisces Sun just likes privacy. Saturn in 11th avoids large groups of "normal" people like the plague.)

It's sort of like "whattayalookinat!?!?"

To me the gym or dojo is there to put in work, not to ogle other people unless they are doing a movement one would like to try, otherwise respect each other's space

Leering is creepy, like a dog seeing a bone.

I workout at home on the deck, and have female neighbors commenting as they pass bye.

Which is both good and bad, so normally workout early in the morning or late at night

Love walking in the mtns at night, the stars seem so close and have privacy to just enjoy them

That is exactly how it felt. I am just glad he did not approach me.

Walking in the mountains at night would be beautiful! Sadly, I do not have any around here.

I grew up in Buffalo so Ontario was just across the river, the very flat river plain..

Love my mtns, lived at the beach for a bit and would take the mtns 9.5 times out of 10

Either way, yuck! He was just sitting there with a gross smile on his face and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

Sort of, here 2 inches of snow shuts the town down and there are lots of car accidents.

I love walking when the snow first starts to fall, suspect that is the Aries or Scorpio Mars, most people stay strictly indoors in that weather here.

Snow falling, wind in trees, no one out and about and putting that work in.

Now there is a flip side to this, sometimes the ladies will wear the skimpest workout wear so to me, being oggled should not then come as surprise while working out.

Midrift top, spandex shorts, what does one suppose will happen. I find it odd that there is this sort of dichotomy of some ladies dressing to attract attention, but only attention from the right men.

--There can be problems here when it first snows as well. People are not used to the snow and donèt change their driving.

I enjoy being out in the snow too, this is especially true at the first snow fall. The sky tends to be a deep beautiful blue and the snow just hangs off the trees like streamers.

I think what this all really boils down to is there is unwanted attention going on and it is not welcomed nor reciprocated.

I always looked at the gym or working out as..well...putting in work...it's like a job only your body pays you instead of a client or customer

I totally agree with you about your opinion of working out.

I totally agree with you about working out being like work for your own body.

Wear what one feels comfortable in, however, halter top and spandex pants will draw attention, both the good and the bad kind.

For me, just a tank top and shorts draws attention whether I want it or not, just how it is.

Uncomfortable at times though

Downside to walking during a snowfall is I wear these Swiss Army boots that weigh 5 pds each, so up and down the hills and it feels like my quads are being hit with a baseball bat afterwards

--I so cannot wear shorts, I look so dorky in them! I prefer a longer shirt rather than a halter top.

*WOW* Those boots would be so heavy when there is very deep snow. It must tire you out very quickly. Are they really warm though. The atmosphere is so different in the winter.

Walk in snow up and down hillsides and ones thighs get ripped so does ones butt because it is HARD

That to me is Mars in Scorpio to a "T"

And do keep in mind, nothing wrong a halter top and spandex, it is more the reality is it will draw attention.

Heck, when I'd bike downtown in the summer and wear a tank top some female friends wanted me to flex for them...Im far to introverted to do that sort of thing.

BUT wore it because biking 3 miles up an incline one gets...hot...really hot, wear a t-shirt and it's like a sauna

--Very true that would be a great workout. How far do you walk. They must be high and well sealed boots. Sorry about the lack of question marks, my computer is being stupid. The Kingston area created trails from the old railway lines so they can go for miles! One of the reason I choose the trails is the scenery (animals) are always different.

Know all about how a t-shirt can be like a sauna. I am guessing you have the same horrible humidity in Buffalo that we have here.

I know what that is like too. Its a horrible feeling

posted November 29, 2013 03:42 PM            

My goodness though, I see people in those running shoes and have envy, think "wow, those must feel so light".

And I'm no longer in Buffalo, I'm down in Asheville NC, up in the mtns and it gets very humid...very much so.

So if one is going to bike uptown to have a beer and hangout, not sure the old sweaty tshirt is the way to go.
