I have to thank all the people who made New Year’s
Resolutions this year to get in shape.
Normally, the first month and a half of the New Year brings with it an
over-crowding of the gyms. Everyone has
saved their fitness goals for the New Year (can’t have a happy holiday without
gorging on seasonal foods). This desire
results in an influx of inexperienced, half-hearted workout neophytes. They wander around the fitness floor like
lost children in an enchanted forest; wide-eyed and confused by the mysterious
machines and chunks of steel. What does
this machine do? How much weight should I
be using? (Yeah, that is probably too
heavy for you…) How much longer should I
‘work-out’? These zombies shuffle around
from machine to mat to bench. They sit
on the machines or with weights at their feet while they talk to their partners
or search their iPod for that elusive track which is going to motivate them.
But not this year. I do
not know if they all realized that this yearly cycle of hope always leads to
physical discomfort and have decided to not participate in this year’s
pantomime. Or, maybe they are joining
the latest fitness fad, P90X, Zumba, jazzercise…or whatever. Either way, Thanks! I am still able to walk into my gym and nail
my flesh to an anvil!
Good luck, fitness novices!
