New Year's Resolutions and Crowded Gyms!

Jackie, You could copy the section in Body-for-LIFE and let her read it or better yet show her the section and offer to lend it to her. That way she might get interested in the whole program. You could first compliment her on being a regular at the gym and working so hard and then segue into it. Or you could take a chance on the direct approach. Creating a friendly rapport first seems to work best. (With my scowl from all the focus and effort, that rarely occurs.....LOL). Best of luck! Kit

Hey Jackie....I have in my 30 odd years of existence come to the realization that one should only offer advice when asked...smile....unless you are willing to handle the negative reaction you might get....smile....that being said....I'd approach this woman, and ask her if she is getting good results, pumping the iron the way she does.....smile....I'd also ask her how long she's been working out, if she got training, if she's ever had any injuries, and if maybe you could work in with her on a particular exercise....that way, you open the door to her asking for your help.....etc etc....

Personally I've seen some people throwing the weights around or extending their legs too much and I've mentioned it and let it go......

Jackie,

Give her the book? I gave it to some one who I used to look up to. She worked so hard and I thought I wanted to be in her place. Then I noticed that she was doing so much work with so little improvement. So I just gave her a copy of the book. I said, I am not trying to tell you what to do or how to do it. Lordy knows I am not the champion, but hey with all the effort you are putting forth... I admire you. This book just put it all together for me.... (and besides it was on sale at the Vitamin Shoppe for $13.)

I heard from some others at the gym she thought that was so nice...

<Any ideas on how, or whether, to approach her?>
