The Gym

At the end of a long day at uni, all I really long for is a good wokout at the gym. Yes I know it sounds bizarre why anyone at all would find comfort at the gym, health benefits aside, what I call, "happy hormone" (Endorphins) makes any bad day, a good one. Apart from that, the gym floor is often such a good place for a good laugh and here's why..

You have the "ELEPHANT on the treadmill" person who, for some reason, has to let every footstep be heard as a resounding thump. I'm half worried for their knees and mostly just concerned that they may break the treadmill. 

Then you have the "FAIRY feet" females who seem to be on the treadmill for AGES and not seem to have a bead of perspiration. Why fairy feet? Cause they're probably "working out" at a speed that's about walking speed. My question is.. Won't the park be more interesting?

Alright, then you have the bunch of ladies on the cardio equipment, the stationary bikes, the cross trainers and the steppers, etc.. Who are there, day in, day out for hour(s), but yet don't seem to achieve/accomplish much physically.

Then we look at the gym floor where all the men are.. Half the time, you smell them before you see them. That's besides the point. 

There's the "BODY BUILDER".. who, in my opinion, look hulk-ish apart from the green colour, but they are so huge, they don't seem to have a head (I know you know what I mean). There they are with their big built bodies in some sort of THIN STRAPPED singlet. I HONESTLY do not appreciate looking at your nipples! Yes. They might think that they have a huge chest, but seriously.. Keep your spots to yourself.

Then.. we have the "NARCISSIST". They hog the MIRROR after ONE set of biceps or abs or arms, thinking that they might be more ripped and larger after one set. COME ON dude.. Get real!

We next have the "GRUNTER".. You know.. the ones you hear all the time, grunting at every lift. It's understandable if they're pumping REALLLLLY heavy weights, but if you're barely pumping any iron then I really don't see the point. What's even worse is if they're grunting to hard and you realise that their form is wrong and they aren't pumping right. like.. What's the point?

And let us not forget the "GRUMP".. often more elderly women (sometimes men) who are perhaps in some sort of Mid life crisis and just appears to be angry all the time, giving you the stare and once over. -_-" perhaps what you need isn't a workout, but social therapy.

Now you know why I love the gym? Of course, there are more or less "Normal" people in the gym too. (if you consider me as one). I'm sure someone would have something to say about my type of workout and frequency, but hey, if it makes your day, I don't mind! 

And why I love the gym too.. Is cause that's where I met Sherwin. =) I like it too that we occasionally meet there even after he started work. I like how we both enjoy working out! (just saying!)
