Why are some people so obsessed with the need to talk about working out? You work out, I work out-whatever-its not my entire LIFE. I have a full time job, a husband, daughter and other interests. I am so tired of these Facebook posts: Can't wait for my workout after work! Have a day off, meeting my personal trainer! Just had the most amazing workout with Tom! He kicked my ass! Can't wait to try the gym facilities here in Maui! Is sore after a 5 hour intense boot camp class!
Do you read? Watch movies? Do anything besides working out? Newsflash for all you gym rats- working out is good for you, but it does NOT help with weight loss. Whats even more frustrating is the anorexic people who say they just lost 10 pounds by working out everyday. Holy F eat something- enjoy your life! Society plays a big role in this- any issue of US Weekly shows how some celebrity gained or lost 20 pounds- as if their entire existence and fame is based SOLELY on how much they weigh. Chances are when people see you, thats the first thing they notice. Not your new hair color, nice shirt or law degree-how much you weigh. You will usually be greeted by "have you lost weight" or "wow you look thin". Who cares? Whatever happened to judging people based on their values and successes in life?
Gyms make people mentally ill. You walk in and they tell you that you need special supplements, a personal trainer and a gym smoothie. They are designed to make you feel bad about yourself- which is why I HATE gyms and do not currently belong to one. Whatever happened to working out at your own leisure- for YOURSELF? Now its all about competition. When I go to a hotel gym to workout, no one bothers me. I use whichever machines I want, any way I want for as long as I want. There needs to be a gym like this for us folks who don't want to be brainwashed.
So when you ask me if I want to join your totally rad class, the answer is NO! So please, stop asking!
