I'm going to be honest here. The gym and I are not good friends. In fact, I would rather have a root canal than go to the gym. I honestly don't understand how all these gym buffs do it. Why go to the gym when I have a comfy bed, Netflix, and Dominos on speed dial? Unfortunately, we don't get to keep our fast metabolisms forever and the freshmen 15 is a very, very real thing, and I haven't lost much of it now as a sophomore. So, to the gym we must go my friends!
Honestly, the gym is a pretty scary place. It smells really bad and is filled with people whose muscles are bigger than my face. The employees that work there are always looking really judgmental. Plus, I always try and look like I know what I'm doing when, in reality, I couldn't be more lost and confused. I could make up all the excuses in the world to avoid the gym: it’s too hot, it’s filled with strangers’ germs, the machines are way too complicated, etc. However, what needs to be done must be done. I know some of you feel the same way I do. So I think it's time to address the thoughts we all have when we're at the gym.
1. Okay, I'm about to get in shape. It should only take about one trip to the gym.
2. Wait, why does it smell like an entire football team in here?
3. How out of place do I look?
4. What the heck does this machine do?
5. Jeez, how long have I been running? Not even a mile? Okay then.
6. Wow, he's really hot. Run faster.
7. Never mind... too fast. Just try a sexy walk.
8. Is she judging me?
9. Is it just me or is everyone staring at me?
10. Okay, abs. Let me look up some good ab workouts on my phone. Nope, these look too hard. Crunches will have to do.
11. But first, Snapchat. I need to record this for the history books. Ew no I look too sweaty.
12. I can watch Netflix in here, right? " Grey's Anatomy," here I come.
13. Yep. Don't know how to work this machine either.
14. If I've been here for 30 minutes. Can I leave?
15. I could really go for some tacos right now. Maybe a milkshake.
16. If I promise myself I'll eat a salad tonight I can stop this.
17. Ha, lie I'm not gonna eat a salad.
18. Do I even have a muscle there?
19. If I keep doing this maybe I'll look like a Victoria's Secret model.
20. Maybe the at-home workout videos are more for me.
