All Dolled Up

So there is the age old complaint of girls wearing too much makeup while working out at the gym. I must admit, most of these complaints come from girls themselves. There argument is that the gym is not a place to get all dolled up, but rather to sweat and get a good work out in. I completely agree. However, I am not going to hate on that girl that has her makeup of the day on.

Today while working on my fitness, it dawned on me what the equivalent to heavy makeup-ed girls is for the male gender. Pounds of makeup on girls is to tons of hair gel for guys. It's like, really bro? Did you need that much gel to come sweat at the gym.

To me, the gymnasium is a place to get fit and feel better about yourself, not to impress others. So save the extra makeup and hair gel for Saturday night.

Ready, Set, GO!

I am a recent member of a gym. I have really been working on my fitness as of the start of the year. While I am at the gym, I have been noticing some pretty ridiculous activities occurring. I just feel as though I need to share this sightings with all of you. So sit back in your couch, maybe grab that pint of ice cream, or (my favorite) a tub of frosting, and enjoy these stories of people who are working out.

Disclaimer: I am not, in any way, shape, or form, claiming to be an expert at working out/lifting/really being fit in general. Therefore, I am not meaning to come across as a hypocrite.
