Pumped Up

I went to the gym yesterday and there were three big firemen working out and also a comely young woman probably in her late 20's with plenty of eye makeup, snug lycra attire, and a ponytail. I noticed an interesting dynamic; that is, wherever the lady was working out, so were the men. She would begin doing bench presses and so would they at the next bench. She started bent rowing, they did the same. They were all chatting amicably and there was nothing inappropriate going on. The firemen, being in the helping profession, were there to help, giving her pointers when they weren't talking about firearms, bear hunting, and dangerous fires they had conquered. After she left, they returned to lighter weights and less conversation.
