Gym

I'm sitting here at the gym (Virgin Active) and reality had stuck. Gym in South Africa is really more of a social activity than a place of health living.

Friend circles, fathers and sons as well as house wives commute daily to the gym to meet with familiar faces. The new in thing is to walk around with a wife beater (vest) and a USN shaker looking as cool as possible. The bigger you are the better looking apparently you are. The typical housewife gym goer should look sporty, small and must have a Blackberry.

It might sound all well and dandy as the youth is exercising, but there is a huge problem of steroid use. The body can grow only so much, so to get bigger one must use illegal substances. The hilarious thing is that they believe they the most beautiful human being to roam the planet. Meanwhile the gym revolves around their entire life. A stable career and healthy living which the gym is intended for isn't an option.

The moment I had enough and was tired I left the gym. On the way out I saw all these gym bunnies standing outside speaking overly loud, smoking and every second word was an F word. They were so "COOL"!

Its the little things in life...
