The exercise bikes are draped with dress shirts and pants. The weight benches are stacked with boxes of old mail and magazines. And many of the barbells are being used as bookends, paper weights or to prop up broken furniture. The evidence is clear: the St. Louis Rams have not used their workout room in a while.“We always get this equipment with the intention of working really hard and getting in shape – the best shape of our lives, in fact,” said quarterback Marc Bulger. “But then we just get caught up in our busy day-to-day schedule and, well – you can see what happens.”Wide receiver Donnie Avery says he definitely plans to use all of the exercise equipment soon.“We’d clean it all up and workout now, but we’re in the middle of the season. I wouldn’t want to get too sore and affect my play on the field, you know?” he said. “But, totally, once the new year comes around I’m going to workout. A lot. I say that every year, I know. But this year I really mean it.”
