Artificial Limbs And The Gym
I got home from work surprisingly early yesterday. So early in fact that I thought that I’d swing by the local gym to squeeze in a quick workout. Bad idea.
Seems that everyone tries to fit in a quick gym session after work. There wasn’t a parking spot in sight. Cars were slowly trawling the lot looking for a free parking stall. People were even parking in the lower lot reserved for a Walgreens, a pet supply store, and a funky business that sells what looks like artificial limbs and custom auto parts. I wish I could tell you more about this particular store, but their “closed” sign is always up and the lights are always off. If I didn’t know any better I’d think that this particular establishment was a front for some other nefarious, underhanded business we’re not meant to know about, and nor should we ask.
I wonder if gyms have a limit to the amount of memberships they’re allowed to sell, or do they continue to sell memberships even though it’s painfully evident that they simply can not accommodate everyone?
Perhaps I’m just bitter that Lost has run its course and I’m just looking for any outlet to use as an excuse to whine and moan? Could I be in mourning for my favorite show? Just…just ignore me for today until I get my head straight.
I’m mesmerized by the clip of Bert. Gyms sign up everyone and then half the time close up shop without notice. That happened to me once right after I had paid the fee. So I avoid gyms at all costs now. Too stressful.
*Sigh* I guess I’ll just stick go going to the gym during “off hours”. Bummer.
Yes, I think that’s the key…going to the gym on off hours.
This is one of the reasons why I prefer having weekdays off from work.
NO crowds.
I never watched Lost, however I heard it was GREAT.
An important weight lifting benefit is that it also improves your persistence. When lifting, you’re goals will continue to change as you strive for slightly more weight or a few more reps each time so you will keep striving to do more. Both persistence and dedication are important attributes to have for a successful weight lifter and developing them through lifting will help you reach your goals, not just in weight lifting but in the other areas of your life.
If you don’t want to go to gyms anymore you can always try to workout at home and try stuff like Turbo Fire, P90x, Insanity or any of those things.
