Do You Think About Coins When Working Out?

Coinosaurus · October 19, 2012 4:48AM

I go for a three hour run about once a week. You'd think that would be a lot of time to contemplate the next purchase or research project, but mostly I think about when the *&^%#! is this $&#*$% workout gonna be $%&#*# over.

WhiteTornado · October 19, 2012 4:50AM

I wonder if I'll find any when running outside

. Does not happen too often, though. Last find was a common Roosie.

I don't think most work out or exercise at all looking at most of the people at the shows. Some don't shower or take care of their hygiene even!!!

MilkmanDan · October 19, 2012 4:59AM

I use my runs as a time to think about which coins to sell. Unfortunately I rarely follow through.

Walkerguy21D · October 19, 2012 5:06AM

I often think about coins while on my runs.....but then again, I think about coins constantly, so......

Mostly, I think about tackling quarterbacks. It helps that there is a menacing Fathead James Harrison plastered to the wall in my workout room. Unfortunately, at 5' 7" 130 lbs., I have not had the opportunity to tackle many QBs in my day.

My work out is Kayak Fishing or Kayak Lobster Hooping.

This is such an exciting workout that I am only thinking about the task at hand, never thinking about coins.

The great thing about my workout is it is something I crave to do. Sometimes 8 hours at a time.

Been doing this for over a year and have lost over 20 pounds.

If you do not work out, you need to find some that you will want to do, maybe something like metal detecting for hours on end.

johnny9434 · October 19, 2012 5:25AM

Last year, my wife was on a run and found a ziploc bag of change, maybe $4-5 worth. Our best guess is that it fell out of someone's car, backpack, etc, as she found it in the street.

I ran about 20 feet last year while crossing a busy road, cant say I was thinking about coins at the time. I'm so out of touch with staying in shape I refer to a Gym as James

renomedphys · October 19, 2012 6:15AM

Even at the height of my interest, the last thing on my mind when working out was coins.

DorkGirl · October 19, 2012 7:14AM

No, I think about doing everything right.

<< No, I think about doing everything right. >>

In my first pic I agree with Becky but in my second pic I was definitely thinking of coins...

AB.....that looks like your own workout room at home (noticing your trophies on the shelves)! Is it? Hell, if I had THAT kind of workout room at home, as well as the weight room at the school, I would have gone D-1! Damn, that's a nice one!

Thanks NotSure! Actually it`s me and my wife`s gym that we own... Not at home and open to the public... It`s a cozy personal training gym though and I do keep a few of my trophy's there to show off ...

I am a black belt in Karate and Aikido I use to do weights a LOT for MANY MANY years but injuries have made me calm down and I just do simple things now...like walking, biking, swimming stuff like that. But yes coins and collectibles are always on my mind since I would say 1985. I won a LOT of competitions in karate that was my true love in life I would say maybe even more than collecting....did I just say that...YES I dared to say it out loud!!! I guess my heart was bigger and stronger than my body could ever take....I for sure pushed it to it breaking point and beyond. During my karate years I must have done way over 1000 fights with other karate guys at my dojo I was really really good...I had it in me like Jordan at basketball I could have made it big if not for the serious injuries doing free weights. I would say I was in the top 5% worldwide or the top 10% not sure.

Justacommeman · October 19, 2012 8:18AM

When I'm in the states I do hot yoga everyday. I either think of trying not to die or I'm looking at the latest in Lululemon attire in front of me

I would think the percentage of coin collectors that work out is minimal. I think about coins when i am not thinking about guns. I do not work out nor do i plan to.

Buzzybest · October 19, 2012 8:27AM

We are in 2 different Universes! The last thing on my mind when collecting coins,is working out!

NotSure · October 19, 2012 8:31AM

It looks cozy....I saw the doorways, walls, ceilings, looks like a renovated basement, renovated for a workout area, not your typical 'gym'. I like that it has that 'homey' look/feel to it......it's very nice, and I hope (though I'm sure you do) you have a good customer base....I know the ownership is cool, and must be very accomodating! I like it!

Oh, AB, that second pic doesn't look like you are thinking coins, but rather, whether to put another 45 lb'er on each side of the bar!!!!!! lol MAN, you are ripped!

As for me, I am so busy with my LAST semester (FINALLY), the closest I come to thinking about coins is to check the vending machines at school. When working out with the kids (asst def coordinator for a H.S. f-ball team here). Whether running laps or working out, coins is the last thing on my mind...the kids think I'm a 'nerd' for collecting coins, but when I blow the whistle, those that I hear the word 'nerd' from, they are TIRED aftewrwards! They've used 'coin geek', also, but they run penalty laps too! Needless to say, the comments have been waning rapidly. We'll see how that changes after graduation, then the extended unemployment period before I land a real job (hopefully not too long), then we'll see when/where I think about coins.

I know Jeremy/Airplanenut went to MIT (though he blew through that in 3 1/2 years...me, MIT probably wouldn't even accept an application to sweep the floors from me...lol...so, congrats on that feat, Jeremy, again!)... and I have half the brain he does, so I can only imagine what went through his mind in his real last semester. I'm sure his mind wasn't on coins like it always had been and is again.

Lulu lemon"......... MJ I feel you!

Raufus · October 19, 2012 11:00AM

No. Generally, there are enough other distractions who are working out in my Gym to keep my mind off of coins...

TwoSides2aCoin · October 19, 2012 11:12AM

I get through my first rep of 20 push ups and realize how outta shape I am since I got into coins.
And thankfully I have a few friends who "push" me to get away from them.

derryb · October 19, 2012 11:21AM

I think about working out while I'm searching coins on the net.

stealer · October 19, 2012 11:51AM

Usually I try to focus on not tearing something when I'm working out but maybe that's just me

ambro51 · October 19, 2012 11:58AM

This summer I decided to take hot sunny days and float on a raft in the pool. During those hours of enjoying UV radiation my mind often wandered to coins.

pakasmom · October 19, 2012 12:14PM

Well, I used to. Now I'm going to be thinking about AB...

Have been both working out & collecting coins for over forty years each. The two activities are mutually exclusive for me.

Walkerfan · October 19, 2012 12:28PM

<< I often think about coins while on my runs.....but then again, I think about coins constantly, so...... >>

I was gonna say EXACTLY the same thing.

I do two miles every day and I think about coins while de-stressing.

I think clearer while running and coins are always at the forefront.

I am usually contemplating my next purchase.

7Jaguars · October 19, 2012 10:51PM

Uhhhh, no. Thinking about getting my next breath and also when I'm going to be finished. I do 5 days a week cardio and weights and can't say as I always like it and think about anything - I have trouble following ESPN when going at it hard - still keeps the BP and cholesterol at bay (not ebay!).

Sometimes I do think about coins when I'm trying to go to sleep - like counting sheep!

RYK · October 19, 2012 11:49PM

I am running a half marathon tomorrow and plan to think about coins between miles 7 and 9.
