Have a Good Workout

That’s the customary greeting when you meet someone at the gym (pre-workout of course). Why do I find this a little funny? Not sure. Maybe because there’s something very predictable about a workout. If you like it, it’s going to be good, if you don’t, it won’t. It’s different from wishing someone a good day – where there’s a lot more variability in possible outcome. Saying “Have a good workout” is a bit like saying “Have a good shower”. Don’t you think?
