Why go to the gym

By Grace Naces

So you want to be slimmer?

I saw that ad somewhere and I said yes to it but refused to budge from my computer chair. I had been gaining pound per pound. It was an ad for a local gym.

I just wanted to be thin but was too lazy to do anything about it. One day, I was shopping for clothes. I realized none of the ones I like are available in my size. I got so devastated so the day after, I enrolled at the local gym.

Why did I used to hate going to gym? It is because I had this wrong notion that exercise is too tiring, you'd get all sweaty and icky--and used to think it's a waste of time.

I was wrong, and I'm glad I was.

The first three days of gym was an ordeal because I got sore muscles but later on, I realized that getting to exercise actually makes me feel good right after. I also started having something to look forward to everyday to break the monotony of my work.

In the gym you get to meet new people OR choose to be alone with your iPod and exercise equipment. Nobody really cares if you're fat and wearing tights--it is a gym after all.

You also get the chance to daydream or make plans while you are on the treadmill. Two months passed and I actually love the shape and size I am in right now. I can now buy size S clothes.

What's there not to love about gym? Endorphins plus being fit--it's enough for me to say I should make this a lifelong habit.

I teach people how to do their own wood floors and I often joke after the customer has spent the day sanding floors or installing floors, "Well I don't think you need to go to the gym today!"

The customer always chuckles.

Sanding wood floors or installing them is a really good workout.
