There is one employee at our gym who prides herself (justifiably so) on her ability to keep the place all neat and tidy. If there is an errant weight lying around it will soon be returned to its proper place. Unattended water bottle? You can rest assured you will find it in the recycle bin faster than you can say, "Now where did I put my water bottle?" And whatever you do, don't let go of your towel or you will only get a parting glimpse of it as it is carted off to the laundry room. At this point we need to make ourselves very clear: We admire and respect this trainer's diligence to our home away from home. Not only is she a long-lost relative of Mr. Clean's, she is a great friend.
It's important you have a clear sense of how this particular trainer maintains the workout area.
OK. It's now our workout time and as it sometimes happens, our focus is NOT on the bench press, nor do lunges hold any particular appeal for us right now. We'll admit it, we're bored. We need some kind of distraction. Oh, what could it be? Because of our genuine lack of strength-training concentration, it's not long before we have a solution to our attention deficit.
Target: Ms. Clean.
Our mission: A surprise for our friend.
Quickly, and with focus we did not demonstrate during our workout, we assembled jump ropes and a few dumbbells in our special little corner of the workout room.
In a matter of moments we had assembled what we thought a most creative mess...er...we mean message.
We were tempted to leave it there on the floor...but we're no dummies!
