My bad,,,I only asked because I've only seen one guy ever doing that and I figured it was a female thing.
Not that any of the triATHLETE women on this forum would do it, but I just thought maybe you had an inside track on why other women do ;)
You know, like maybe one day at the gym one of the 'steep walkers' would tell you to quit doing your long run or your tempo work or intervals and tell you that you could be saving a ton of time and or effort by letting you in on their secret. My best guess is that is has something to do with tightening up the rear end and is just for looking good in tight outfits and is not meant to help them qualify for Kona. Maybe it's localized to my Y. Maybe they're training to be on next years expedition to Mt Everest. Anyway, it's funny that on any night you can go in and there will be 4-5 treadmills in a row pointed to the sky with women walking away at 4mph!
But I guess it's better to look at fit women walking up to nowhere than naked wang guys that never leave the locker room and never workout yet are always there and naked for hours at a time! (They must be a requirement in most health clubs as everyone seems to have them!)
