Changes

Well all know that there are certain etiquette in the gym that we should follow…yeah I understand this and follow said rules for the most part; but there are somethings that i will always do… Lift heavy, grunt and run like a clydesdale on the treadmill, sorry it can’t be helped I am not built like a gazelle. I was in the gym doing my cardio and a guy got onthe treadmill next to me…I gave him the whatsup nod and kept on moving. Now he was a big guy, but he was putting in the work to get the weight down (kudos to you guy) When he started runing his stride was heavy and he plodded along for the duration of his run, now this didn’t bother me but it seem to irritate the gazelles using the treadmills around us…nasty looks, and snide comments. It got so bad that the guy was about to cut his workout short for the sake of the gazelles; I said heck no!!! what are you doing…quiting?! why? because some preconceived  notion that one should run lightly while on a treadmill. Look realize that not everyone weighs under 200lbs, some people don’t know the proper mechanics to running. This poor guy is in the gym trying to better himself and the elite decide that he shouldn’t be allowed run because he is running to loud… are you serious? turn up your ipod, remember back to the days when you were a fatty and struggling; but don’t be quick to make someone feel uneasy. To sum this up…I am a clydesdale make no joke about it when i run the treadmill feels it…that is what its there for…untill they build a heavy duty treadmills for those of us who are 200lbs and up the ones in the gym will have to deal with the abuse of me and my fellow clydesdales… move b@$%h get out the way!!!

Oh yeah big boy stayed and finished his workout…him and I plodding heavily along…nasty stares, comments and all.

Training aimlessly…day in and day out. Always looking in the mirror to see the results and they’re not there. It must be the routine…so change the routine after only two weeks of work… Yeah just start over. Why do we do this to ourselves? It is the same for dieting…after two days of drinking water we expect to dramatic results, uh nope! Not happening. It is said that it takes at least 30 days for an action to become a routine…not two weeks!! Time is not the only factor… how hard you work while at the gym is another factor: if you are lifting the same weight that you started with six months ago; it is likely you will not longer see any gains and this can be a source of frustration that can cause one to quit working out. Shit in life doesn’t come easy and creating a new body form the old defiantly falls into that “not easy category.”  Put in the time and put forth the effort and the changes will come…trust me they will come.  Some people say that Rome wasn’t built in a day…true; well you didn’t get out of shape over night.
