[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a LOT of people who post workout summaries on Instagram, usually to stories.  Peloton classes + milestones, OTF classes + splat points, runtracker apps with a summary of pace and distance.  I don't do it, but I don't hate it either.  I'm either vaguely proud of them for sticking to it, or reminded that I need to get off my @ss and get a ride in.

Filming yourself in the gym is worse, to me, because I can't help but think of how disruptive it is to everyone else at the gym to have this person taking up the squat rack + the floorspace between the squat rack and their phone (can't walk in the shot!) + the buffer zone I'd give them so that I'm not accidentally in the shot and posted online.  Feels aggressively self-absorbed in a way that "so glad I got up for the 5:30 today!  Start your day right!!" posts do not.[/quote]

Yes, I'm old and don't know much about Instagram, but don't Instagram stories go away after one or two days?  If so, that doesn't seem like a good way to track workouts.[/quote]
