I was at the gym working out in an actual class, which not suprisingly is my New Years Resolution like half of the planet. Anyway I was sitting there kicking and jumping and doing all these things to help me "get in shape" when I realized how silly it all is. Why am I in a little box with mirrors on all sides with 50 people crammed into this room jumping around with a little woman at the front yelling into a microphone? What are we all doing. We pay $30 plus dollars a month to go to this box with equiptment and strangers to work out swaet and get all nasty with a bunch of other people payin $30 a month, when in fact we have the entire world at our finger tips. Why are we all lined up in rows on treadmills running to what... the bar in front of us the little screen that is telling up how many miles we have ran.... when we could be out running around the lake, on paths, by the beach, in the forest, on trails, even down our street looking at things, appreciating lifes beauty and acutally running to something. Why are we rowing on this little machine where we go up back up back to only stare at the water fountain. WHy are we not out on the lake rowing and looking at lifes beauty. Why aren't we out exercising in the world for free?! What is it about this little box and sweaty people that drives us to be motivated. WHy do we think we cant get in shape without the gym? Why is it that we flock to this place and pay money so that we can be stuck in this sweat box. Weird huh?
