The Smooth Solution to My Greatest Pet Peeve

If I wanted, I could probably have an entire blog devoted to pet peeves.  Who couldn’t?  No matter how accommodating a person may seem, we all have our idiosyncrasies and those that we don’t like in others.  It’s just a fact of life. 

That being said, one of my top ten pet peeves has to be my fellow females that go to the gym looking like they’re ready for a night out on the town.  You know the type: short shorts, tank top off the shoulder, fully made up. The girl that doesn’t break a sweat while she works out, but instead checks herself out in the mirror every ten seconds.  In short: the girl that’s looking to get picked up at the gym.

If you are that girl, I’m sorry but you’re not working out.  Look over to that girl on the treadmill.  You know, the one dripping sweat, hair a mess, mouth open and panting?  That’d be me.

I’m no superstar athlete, but when I hit the gym I mean business, as I suspect most of us do.  I’m not particularly self-conscious, but there are times when I wouldn’t mind having the whole gym to myself.  Because maybe—if I’m being honest with myself—there’s a small part of me that sees I’m-Here-to-Look-Pretty Girl and wishes the elliptical didn’t turn me into a red-faced pile of goo.

The solution?  Investing in your own workout equipment.  Of course if you live in a temperate climate, using the great outdoors to your advantage is ideal, but for others, an indoor treadmill begins to look appealing around about October.  For those individuals I would recommend checking out Smooth Fitness.

One of the top online retailers of home fitness equipment, Smooth Fitness is the place to go for affordable treadmills and elliptical trainers.  The best part about having your own workout equipment? No more I’m-Here-to-Look-Pretty Girl!  Well, that and the fact that you can simply roll out of bed and get in a good workout.

In particular, keep an eye out for the Smooth 6.75 Treadmill.  With it’s 20"x60” running surface and fold up capability, you’ve got a top workout that can be stored and enjoyed anytime!  I’m personally a fan of the fact that you can add your own audio to the machine to personalize your workouts even further.  Good music is the key to a good workout, after all.

For the elliptical fans out there, I prefer the Smooth Agile DMT X2.  Why?  Because of its twelve dynamic and variable motions, you can work out more muscles in less time than you could with a traditional elliptical.  Pairing that with a treadmill workout is my weapon of choice.  I warm up on the elliptical for 20-30 minutes and then run for half an hour.  Plus, if it’s in the comfort of your own home you don’t have to worry about dripping sweat (which you should be doing if you’re working out, by the way)!

An added bonus is the $100 off any unit from $1499 and up, courtesy of WantACode.  Just enter coupon code “wantacode” when you check out with your new elliptical or treadmill.  And as always, for more great Smooth Fitness coupons and discounts, visit WantACode.com.
