I tagged along with my friends to this community gym a little while back, mainly because I wanted to see what was the fuss with all this "Healthy Lifestyle" jazz. It's not what you think, I do get exercise at times; I do the occasional walk to the fridge and back. I also lift my fork to my mouth sometimes when no one else is at home to feed me. So I believed i was fit. Foolishly.
Aftermath: Even today my body aches in Lactic acid induced pain.
Being a Gym Newbie, I was rather intimidated by the gym and its burlesque inhabitants initially. Which may have caused me to become clingy. Therefore I apologize to my friends if I had inconvenienced them in any way.
On the plus side it does seem as if my arms have grown by a whole inch, which is strange considering i had did all the exercises the wrong way...
I do have some peeves though...
1.) People who save machines with towels, even though they're like a mile away doing cardio or something.
Please lor, Community Gym... not "Your Father's" Gym. Your sweaty towel we also don't want to touch. k? thnks bb. Even worse are the people who snatch a machine right under your nose. One old lady did that to us. We wanted to be mean to her but decided not to because we are fine cultured gentlemen and she's just an old senile lady. But please lor, can don't like that? tyty.
2.) People hanging around your machine and staring at you.
2 People actually did this to me. I was so freaked out that i didn't finish my set and absconded from my chest fly machine. >,<
3.) Bad Personal Hygiene
I intended to try out this thing that supposedly worked your obliques, but upon closer inspection, had realized that that was a shiny sheen of sweat secreted all over the seat. Which sickened me to the stomach. (Hehe Alliteration...)
4.) Grunting
First you start lifting the heaviest weight you can find in the gym, then you start making noises which sound as if you are having sex with a rhinoceros and an ostrich simultaneously for the world to hear. Thanks, we needed that.
5.) Old People
They smell like farts. And they have huge bulging bellies that need to be put away. It's seriously obscene. After all there are children like me running around whose eyes need not be tormented the same way mine were.
I'm taking a Siesta from blogging. After all, 10 days.
Till the storm passes. Tada.
