I agree… I do feel like people are critiqued/looked down upon at the gym if their bodies stand out in a negative way (really puny guys trying to lift weights, obese/overweight woman on the elliptical)… But my thoughts when I see people like that is ‘good for them! what a courageous person that must take.’ I like working out at the gym better because when you are in a gym there are no distractions… you have little opportunity to do things other than work out at the time you are there.

I have tried working out at home, but actually getting up and going to teh gym gets me to do it.

i prefer running outside, so neither . it keeps me motivated to see other people out running and the scenery stops me from getting too bored.

i know you didn’t mean it in this when you said that ‘healthier people’ are sizing you up but it’s a good thought: the people who are sizing you up and making you feel ‘less healthy’ are probably psychotic body-dysmorphic starving steroided-out freaks who are constantly comparing themselves to everyone else to build self-assurance that they are bigger or smaller etc. so you’re probably the healthy one
