The More You Know

A Though your intentions are helpful, many gymgoers may become defensive if advice is offered unsolicited. Try asking what they’re working today and probe deeper with nonjudgmental questions. If they express a lack of knowledge, feel free to share your advice. But if they’re standoffish, you’ll just have to turn a blind eye—and be ready to provide an emergency spot, of course.

Q My brother-in-law gave me a weighted vest for Christmas. Two months later it’s still gathering dust in my garage. What’s a quick, effective vest circuit I can do?
