The Urban Gym Bunny

Ever since puberty I have had frustrations regarding my weight.  So once I moved back to Capitol Hill I decided to join the Gold's Gym on Broadway.  It is nearby, the membership seemed reasonable and I definitely needed the stress relief.  But once I started a routine, SIFF hit and the routine was interrupted -- until today.

Now I knew Gold's was notoriously cruisey, but that did not really seem to be a deterrent for me, since I people watch all the time anyway.  I never thought though that my people watching would be a distraction and prevent me from focusing on working out -- even if I am just am doing tedious cardio.

But I think what freaks me out more, and how I never have noticed this before, is the posing and posturing that goes on at the gym.   The same bullshit that makes me not want to go out to bars and clubs, is infesting the health and fitness world.  What the fuck?

You know it is a new year and a new me when I start using colorful superlatives in the blog...just watch out Sean C. At the Movies.
