Resolution Revolution

It's that time of year when gym memberships skyrocket, New Year's Resolution time. While I'm guilty of having a weight loss-related resolution, I started my process months ago. I feel I can reasonably be one of the people who are annoyed at the sudden influx of newcomers to my gym and hog all of the equipment when I know they'll stop coming after the second week in February. This is pessimistic, I apologize. I truly do hope people achieve their health goals for the year...just as long as my gym equipment is available.

I may not be too affected by the Resolution Revolution because I pay a little lot more to go a gym with mostly elderly folks. What I like about my gym is the layout. You've been to those gyms where the men stand in front of the mirror doing curls just to impress the women, right? I hate that. I'm at the gym to sweat, breathe hard and not look cute during downward dog. My trainer at the gym said to look for one thing when deciding on your gym: "If the cardio equipment faces the weights, you've got yourself a meathead* gym."

The weights area is completely segregated from my gym's cardio area and I love it. Because, honestly...
