SO, WHY DO YOU GO TO THE GYM?
Most of us would say “to work out of course…what else? Yes that’s correct however, if you take a look around the gym that’s not so for everyone.
Often seen is someone sitting on a bench and looking in the mirror with weights on the floor next to the bench. This practice is presumably to wait and see if the muscles will grow all by themselves. Despite the fact this method is frequently used the success rate to gain muscle is more than likely nil.
Another method is to sit at a station or bench in front of a mirror and txt vigorously, wait for a reply, and then txt vigorously again. This method of body building can continue on for quite some time and, in fact, may take up the whole session. It does not appear to produce muscle gains and therefore is not recommended.
A popular workout is to walk around the gym with cell phone in hand and make attempts with various facial expressions to look as though one has been hard at it for the last 2 hours. Of course you can’t knock it because for all we know the guy is nuts and his psychiatrist has recommended this method to him as an introduction to solving his fear of feeling good about himself. No muscle gain here.
Nobody’s perfect, however, if a membership fee has been paid and a gym is there to build up fitness and strength then the only way to do it is to use the facilities in the manner in which they are intended. Not working out can become a habit and is of no use to anyone. Working out can also be a habit and has to be the best of all habits and the greatest thing you can ever do to look after yourself. It can set you up physically and mentally for life. You can look good and feel good. Any obstacles in your way in life will be easier to overcome.
So, the next time you go to the gym remember what the hell you are going there for…
