26.10.2004 Lets Get Physical

You wouldn't believe it if I told you but it's true. This weekend just gone I joined a gym. It's something me and the missus have been considering for a long time, but I decided if I didn't start soon I was going to follow the family trend and turn into a big fat potato. The gym is a really weired place, there are thin people trying to get thinner, fat people trying to get thin and thin people trying to bulk up and fat people trying to turn their fat to muscle.

Then theres me. I'm just trying to get fit. I don't want to be muscly and I'm already as skinny as I care to get, I just want to tone up my flabby butt and belly then I'll be happy.

The one thing that freaks me out about the gym is the whole public nakedness thing going on in the locker-rooms. Blokes just strolling around in the buff with their bits hanging out. It's something I'm not used to. It's something I'm VERY not used to. I think it's because I was never into sports as a kid and I used to always do my best to avoid the showers. (I can't remember the number of times I “forgot” my sports kit!).

First time around it totally freaked me, but after a bit of thinking it something occured to me. I'm not the only one naked. Everyone's naked. We're all equally vunerable and as long as everyone keeps eyes front then everyone's happy. Right? Well… maybe it's still strange for me, but each time I go to the gym I'm getting more confident.

So I guess it's just a matter of time before I'm dancing around the locker-room naked as the day I was born and singing YMCA. Hmmm… perhaps I won't go that far.

;o)
