Death to the Glisteners

Okay, so I have a lot of time on my hands due to the new location and continued unemployment while I look for the right job. No excuse not to go to the gym. I have been going though not as much as I should. My husband and I found a small gym near our house. It is available to us 24 hours so we have been going rather late at night. Well, it still does not save me from the glisteners. Definition of a glistener- girl who while working out a bit slowly on an elliptical or a treadmill does not even sweat, she just glistens slightly. I just wonder why they are even at the gym taking up space and oxygen. They are usually already thin and in pretty good shape so they don't need to try as hard I guess. She may be talking on her cell phone or with another glistener she has brought with her. Usually you will see them in the meat market gyms at popular times with the purpose of being seen. I do not understand why I have one in my 24 hour gym at 10:00 at night.
Glisteners stay in your allotted time spot and location there is not enough equipment or air conditioning in my small gym for you to take up space and cool air.
I guess I feel especially antagonistic toward the glisteners because I will never be one. I look like I am melting from beginning to end of my workout. I sweat...a lot. I think that if you don't sweat you are not working hard enough and you are just wasting time and occupying space. I know that there are people who work out hard but just don't sweat and I have no problem with them. If you are one of those, which some of my friends are, I do not mean you when I am talking about a glistener.
However, if you have enough energy and breath to carry on a conversation on your cell phone and you are not sweating,  go home you are taking up space come back when you are out of shape and have to suffer like the rest of us!
