Day 350- Worst Gym Pick-Up Lines

Valentine's Day is tomorrow, so that means love is in the air. Not that the gym isn't a great place to meet the person of your dreams, but just beware of the corny pick-up lines. Here are some bad gym pick-up lines to avoid that I found on the Fit Sugar website:

• I know milk does a body good, but baby, how much have you been drinking?
• Your daddy must have been a baker, because you've got a sweet set of buns.
• You look like a cool glass of refreshing water, and I am the thirstiest man in the world.
• Do you have tickets? [you say, "Tickets?"] Yeah, do you have tickets? Tickets to the gun show. [he flexes biceps]
• I know an activity that’s fun and burns 350 calories an hour . . .
• Are your legs tired? Because you've been running through my mind all day long.
• Do you squat here often?
• Is your tank top felt? [you say, "No"] Would you like it to be?
• Do you know karate? 'Cause your body is really kickin'.
• Was your father a mechanic? Then how did you get such a finely tuned body?
• Is it hot in here or is it just you?
• Me without you is like a sneaker without laces.
• Sorry, but you owe me a water. [you say, "Why?"] Because when I looked at you, I dropped mine.
• My adductor (inner thigh muscle) isn't the only thing that's longus.

Pura Vida!
