Its an self esteem thing. See, its natural that you'd hate to admit you're wrong. Exercising is getting into shape. For some people, its like they're admitting they're lacking physically. So yeah, if someone walks in on you working out, it gets embarssing. But persevere. Its becomes more natural and really fun later on. I mean I used to watch backflips on the telly and would be like solo cooool. Now after 5 months of humiliation and weeks of pain. I can pull them of. Its a great pay off.

I'm exactly the same ahaha

Thats why I have a home gym

[Azara]

im the same., i walk by gyms with huge windows where people are just half naked on their exercise machines for all the passer by to stare at. i guess they can block it out but i could never do that. swimming and hiking and rock climbing, are as far as i go in the exercising publicly domain. even running awkward for me. kinda sucks lol

NO WAY I hate working out with other people.. for some reason I get embarassed and its just awkward and strange haha.

[xxNDMxx]

Me too! I'm not embarrassed at all, but it really bugs me when I'm in the same room w/ someone while exercising!

[Complicated-Soul]

Haha, I don't like exercising in front of my parents either.

I feel shy or something.

[Thames]

I am the same way. I get irked out and I am like go away.

[Lucyb]

I'm the same way. Don't like to have anyone around when I exercise or clean house

[peachblossomluck]

I hate that too. That's why I work out at home and not at a gym.

[Skydas]

I don't mind. What I care for is getting my body in the best shape possible regardless of what others think. It is awkward to do exercises wit your mother in the same room though.

[Jager66]

I'm the same way, it's home gym for me for this very reason.

[Phoenix98]

Nope it's not really weird or anything some people just like to train alone.

[Blueeyes81]

I'm the same. I've never liked working out around others.

[OoSNAP]

I feel awkward exercising in public too. I thin it was a natural reaction to stop and respond.

[Anonymous]

It isn't, there are times I am like that with different activities such as jogging.

[apple24]

No some people are uncomfortable!

[Anonymous]

[Anonymous]
