We all have at least one friend who is just too fit for their own good. They’re obsessed with working out and want you to love it, too. Too bad you’re a swamp creature who loves nothing but ice cream and is way, way too busy to work out that much. Also, working out in public places is the worst. Here’s why your friend is also the worst:
1. They’re always at the gym
Anytime you need them, they’re probably at the gym. And they hate it when you interrupt their workout.
2. They try to get you to set insane goals
No, I’m not running a 5k with you. Or swimming the River Thames.
3. They’re always complaining about their protein intake
I don’t know any good ways to eat protein! Eat some nuts!?
4. They try to make you work out with them
People inviting me to the gym is pretty bad, but God forbid anyone try to make me play a team sport. That's just asking for trouble.
5. They wear nothing but athleisure
First of all, I use the word athleisure because it's just as obnoxious as them. Second of all, good luck trying to get them to wear real pants. Do they even own jeans?
6. They tell you way too much about their body
Yes, please describe to me every twinge of pain your body has ever felt. Tell me about how your digestion has been going and what your doctor thinks about your iron intake. I, as someone with no medical training, have so much to do with that information.
7. They give you a full nutritional evaluation of your meal
Yeah, yeah, my meal should have a lot of different colors and have a good protein. But how about instead, I eat my dinosaur chicken nuggets, and you say nothing.
8. They have strong opinions on athletic footwear
They absolutely cannot have anything but this one (probably weirdly expensive) brand of shoe. It offers the perfect combination of medium-high arch support with advanced toe-hugging technology. Meanwhile, I like the blue ones because blue is pretty, and it matches most of my clothes.
9. They tell you about every health article they read
Yes, you’re right. I should eat more red cabbage. It will fix my life. Thank you for that.
10. They want you to be healthy
Yeah, they show they care in the most annoying ways, but in the end… They do care.
