'Fight' for a sit up bench

varatare SG

Well, the elderly being the elderly, arent that active and maybe that bench may just be the nearest respite for them..

Arent there alternatives to sit ups that you can improvise such as knee tuck jumps...

Hi Master-_-

Understand your concern here. I may not be the nicest person in the world, but I am not a iron hearted. If you had see her walk, I dont htink you will see her as inactive. And beside less that 10 meter away under the HDB, there is 4 avaliable empty benches.

exercise is over rated. slacking around is more fun...

hi skythewood

slacking is more fun, but I do intent to pass my IPPT. :)

Well I’ve asked guys thousands of times if I could share equipment / machines at the gym – and these peeps are actually working out and not sitting there staring into space and munching. 10 outta 10 have been obliging – so I guess you just had the unfortunate luck of bumping into a grouchy lady.

Hi cassie

I agree. So far I had been doing that for 2 years. Never had such incident before. Just this once.

Sloth prevailed tonight when it came to my din!

Well, of course she is not very nice to take the bench like that, even more so if there are other seats around. And she could have told you gently.

However, in this case, I feel that it is not that she is mean. It seems as though she feels posessive not of the seat. Possibly her dignity. Some old people do not like being told by younger people what to do.

Hi Beautiful951

Frankly I will be an as*h*** if I told her to give up the bench. I swear I merely ask her to let me have the bench (with respect and use the magic word 'please'). I just dont why it tick her off.

CasperV SG

Well, I know you are being polite. I'm just saying that its the pride of the old woman

I'm only thinking, why must use sit-up bench to train abs for IPPT

There are so many different ways to train.
e.g.
Hang on Chin up bar and do knee raises
Position yourself on the parallel bar and do knee raises as well
Sit on a normal bench, balance yourself on the edge, and tuck in your legs
Simply do planks
Use the floor and do crunches, sissors kick, bicycle

some old ppl are just rude..and thinks that they since they are old = everyone should respect them =.='''

anyway, forget abt that old lady...she will just dampen your mood..

Jianye SG

Another way to get her off the bench....

Hang a tidbit over her head and lure her away from the bench as shown in the cartoons...

That way, she has her tidbit and you, your bench

Last time I threaten to bash up a old lady who talk to my wife rudely for no reason.

She just become a timid mice and walk away! Luckily she walked away fast enough or else she will really get it.

Against this type of old rude idiots , no need to be courteous. Just threaten to whack them and they will keep quiet. They only act nia. They are old and weak if really get into a fight, see who will get kill first!

aiyo ,violence is never a solution . i do not condone violence

laurence82 SG

sometimes no need to resort to violence

some people act big talk big but when if you are firm, or even act rough with them they will be scaredy cat and run with tails between their legs
