crushcardio
/ˈkrʌʃˌkɑːdiəʊ/nounVerified NewExercise performed primarily to be seen by an attractive regular at the same gym or class.
Attendance spikes, session times synchronize, and the treadmill faces a door that happens to open at 6:15. The workout is real; its scheduling is not. Regulars can spot a crushcardio phase within a week.
Etym. — crush + cardio, matching the compounding habit of screamcardio: workouts named for the emotion driving them rather than the muscles worked.
Rel. — screamcardio
