Men perform better during exercise and experience less pain when in the presence of WOMEN.
The authors of the study speculate that men try to impress women with physical strength and try to minimize any signs of physical discomfort or pain. Unfortunately, based on this particular study, women do NOT benefit in the same way when working out in the presence of men! Sorry ladies, maybe try and focus on the good eye candy the guys are providing, and try and use that to inspire you a bit more...

But don't guys injure themselves more when women are in the gym, lifting too much weight in an attempt to impress?
ReplyDeleteYou're probably right about that Tom! The funny thing is, most studies show that women don't want guys with bodies that are TOO good, then it just makes women feel that those guys are completely out of their league. I'll have to see if I can locate that study. Kind of nice though, don't you think? Guys don't really have to kill themselves in the gym, as much as they think, to get admiration from the ladies :)
