#1- Some people are not as stable and feel weird walking on a treadmill... In this case, hold on. It's better than not going on the treadmill at all.
#2- Grunting is just the way some people's bodies react to lifting really heavy weights. They do it to make sure they are breathing in and out at the right times. Proper breathing is key to a good workout.
#3- The gym can be "germy"? I clean my equipment before (if I don't see it being cleaned) and after I'm done with it. You can never been too clean at a gym.
#4- Flip Flops are a MUST! Showering w/o flip flops is worst than using equipment that someone forgot to clean.
#5- I've always been told, that if you can't talk and workout at the same time, then you're not doing something right. You should never be too out of breath to speak to someone. I love it when I have someone to chat with. I'm in the military and going out for a unit run and chatting it up with the guys leads to some of my best times and distance :)

@Siedlerdeo i do see your point along with other users in regard to the grunting. yes when you are pushing your bodies to its max potential limits, you sometimes naturally grunt. but then there are the 80% who grunts while curling a 10lb dumbbell and/or benching 80lbs. so taking the 80% of people who do it, her statement stands valid. keep in mind, not everyone at the gym pushes their bodies to the limit as you "inferred"

Your hair looks really pretty in this video Sarah!! And that outfit is super cool! I am one of the bandwagon-ers doing the fitness new years resolution, but because I actually completed last year's resolution (I didn't dye my hair for a year!! it was so hard!) I think this year I will have the motivation to stick with it! Thanks for all your awesome tips over the past couple years. I hope you do another college series!!

Great video! I love the jacket. One of the reasons I get out and run and work out is to pick out a cute cool new outfit for the day. Love it! Erica

Great video Sarah! The New Year crowd is often frustrating to deal with. I think my biggest pet peeve is the "newbies" working out in non workout gear. For example the guys in jeans and boots or the girls in halter tops. Come on people they sell workout clothes everywhere! Even the front desk of the gym!

[redspore]

Love the outfit. I definitely need some more workout apparel.

[angelagoble]

great tips for "newbies", especially since i see a lot of this behavior at the gym! i laughed out loud at the grunting etiquette portion. Love the outfit! As usual, i thoroughly enjoyed your clip, thanks! happy and healthy new year!

[dixiefurball]

see... At my gym, we're encouraged to grunt and even yell at times.. everyone cheers when someone shouts out! It's encouraging!

You look great in that gym-wear!
Thanks for the giveaway & Happy New Year!

You look absolutely gorgeous here! Thank you for the tips!

[bonjourmarissa]

I've always wanted an awesome jacket/outfit to work out in!

I actually do hold on to the treadmill in the beginning of the run, when i got my rhythm going I let go... I'm going for it this year, to get my weight down again to the point I feel comfortable in my body again, hope I'm not one of the many who forget about the new years resolutions in a month! Wish me luck!

i love the charles!!! i would love that outfit!
