giving your mouth a workout

I was working out the other day and there was a guy lounging on on of the machines talking on the phone. He sat there on the phone for about fifteen minutes. I don't know what he was talking about, but it sounded like a conversation he should've been having at home. Anyway, I stopped to look around, and there were about three or four other people on the phone in the couple hours I was there. My question is: do you want to work out, or do you want to talk on the phone? You can't do both. Why do you even need to bring your phone into the gym? If you're so important you can't be away from your phone for an hour, you don't need to work out because you're Superman and should be out saving the world. It's like they went to the gym just to say they went--so they had a conversation starter.
"So what'd you do today?"
"Well, I went to the gym...,?"
Yeah, you went, but you didn't lift anything but your phone to your ear. The only thing you worked out was your lips. I wish getting in shape was as easy as saying you "went" to the gym.
