Is this a cold kick to the curb???

asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2005/02/05, 12:40 AM I want to work out early in the morning. My current workout partner can only workout at noon. is it really selfish and cold to kick her to the curb so i can workout by myself in the morning? -------------- Get er done

I tried working out in the morning. Didn't like it and saw no results. But now I work out after work and I enjoy it much more and am making good gains. If you parter Is as dedicated as you seem to be, I think they will undersatnd all of that. Short version: No, its cool.:)

I also hate showering twice a day and I hate spending the morning in my grubbies..... maybe I should just quit working out, this is all so difficult ;) -------------- Get er done

Either way, this is about you reaching your goals and if going it alone in the mornings is what it takes, then you should stick to that plan. If your partner is like minded, she should understand completely. -------------- I can promise you that there is more to me than meets the eye..... (a tight pair of Levis hides alot)

We have been working out at my house, but I really want to get into the gym and play with more equipment, she belongs to a different gym. Crap, this is harder than breaking up with a guy... -------------- Get er done

Tell her that you need bigger dumbells in your life. -------------- I can promise you that there is more to me than meets the eye..... (a tight pair of Levis hides alot)
