Hei. I need your help to formulate what can be learned from the following error:

Today I was training on the sports ground and saw a woman, she was doing a warm-up before training. Any workout begins with a warm-up and everyone's warm-ups are more or less similar, but this woman just does the warm-up very carefully, diligently and longer, much better than I do the warm-up. Her warm-up is simply at the level of top sports. But after the warm-up, I start training on the horizontal bars, or running, or practicing kung fu complexes or something else training. I think about this woman who puts a lot of effort and time into warming up, does it very well, but never starts training. One would think that it doesn't matter what you do, it's important how you do it, but for a couple of years since I sometimes watch this woman on the sports ground, she has remained a ugly fatass.

Today I watched, and then read for the second time, the lecture by mathematician Richard Hamming "You and Your Research" where he gave an example with a drunken sailor, each step of which is random, but in general his distance from the starting point is the square root of the number of steps. But if a drunken sailor vaguely sees a beautiful woman, his drunken gait already acquires direction and he, albeit with random delays, reaches this beautiful woman. In this example, a thorough warm-up without actually training is the inversion of the drunken sailor example. When each individual step is not drunk, but perfected, but since there is no goal (training), these perfected steps do not produce results.

I tried to formulate what can be learned, but I think it can be formulated better.

Cool observation.

She might just have "gym anxiety". I get anxious from working out around other people to the point of having internal meltdowns and cutting in the middle of the workout to go home to my safe place where no one can observe me... Also this thread is reinforcing my irrational fear of being around people and getting judged lol

Maybe she has asthma or an injury. Maybe her doctor has told her to limit how much she exercises. Are they more like yoga stretches? Maybe she just thinks doing something is better than nothing and likes to use the equipment or to be around other people. Maybe she has walked several miles to the gym already. Maybe she'll do a swim or something more gentle other than a strenuous workout. Maybe she'll run home! Maybe she has a crush on someone there and despises exercise. Maybe she just likes to get out the house and isn't so bothered about exercise goals. Maybe you could strike up a conversation with her and see if she tells you anything to suggest why!

Probably better she's doing something rather than nothing. Seems a waste of money if she isn't using the equipment but who knows? Maybe she does classes, or swimming or something there as well.

We all have different ideas towards exercise. Personally, I despise it and gyms because of people judging you. I think she's brave for turning up for so long- knowing that people are going to be thinking the same things you are. Not that we can help it. We all judge one another.

Works both ways. In the brief period I belonged to the gym, a lady was there who would go every day and do hours and hours. Even the gym instructor warned that for some people- it becomes addictive and they are basically killing themselves. Poor lady- I imagine it could well have been part of an eating disorder. She looked skeletal- but there we go- we all judge one another. I'm sure she thought I was a fat ugly bitch. There we go.

Are u sure it's a warm up and not routine stretching? The goal to strech is still a goal
sure.

Is it my bad English? I wrote sports ground and not gym. Sports ground is a free outdoor sports ground in the open air, no money is needed and there are no people there. this is not a gym.

And in general it doesn't matter. I'm not talking about physical exercises, I was asking about what you can learn from this crap. In a scientific sense. Does no one here have abstract thinking (except for the obvious \Darkover)?

UPDATE: I was wondering, what can I learn from these responses to this post of mine (and indeed in a month or two on this forum)? Because the vast majority of people are idiots incapable of mathematics and abstract thinking. And this cannot be changed.

To sum it up, I'll tell myself: Dear friend, don't waste your time on idiots, they won't change, look for smart people (or đź‘˝) like me.

Darkover - 8
noSuffering - 11

Hamming distance - 9
