jianantonicI was just starting to think I would escape major soreness from yesterday's torture session, but it's just a little late-onset today. I went for a walk during some early down time today, because the weather is fabulous and the mall is in full swing for summer now. I walked past the 4-minute gym, and I got myself all riled up. I don't know if I've mentioned this place on here, but there's this new "gym" that moved into the first level of the Water Street parking garage. They've got like 2 machines, and allegedly if you use these machines for 4 minutes, you'll get as much of a workout as you do in an hour at a regular gym. It's total crap.
A few weeks ago, this guy came by our office with pamphlets about the gym. Everything in it is complete nonsense, but he was very friendly, so I was nice to him and politely declined his invitation to join his $54 per month gym. That's almost twice what I pay to belong to a real gym, with more than one available exercise. Yeesh. Anyway yesterday, some lady came by with the same pamphlets, only she was really pushy and annoying. I told her we'd already gotten some stuff from them and we're not interested, etc, and she just wouldn't leave. Finally I got really short with her and was like "I really love my gym and I've done great there. There's no soliciting in this building anyway, so get out of my office." And she STILL wouldn't go without a fight. As I'm escorting her out the door, she's pushing back saying "but it's so much more efficient than your gym."
Bitch, please. There is nothing efficient about $54 per month for your dinky little "gym." I could buy one of those machines with a few payments of $54 per month, and you want to sell me a year long membership? So walking by there, I'm thinking of all the things I wish I'd said to that ho. Telling her about no matter how many muscles I can workout in 4 minutes, I still don't get my heart rate up for 30 minutes. If my heart is still racing 26 minutes after leaving your facility, it's because I'm about to die of a heart attack, not because I'm getting a good workout. Ugh, she pissed me off.
But those feelings aside, I'm feeling pretty great today. It was nice to get out and walk - I went about half mile before it started to rain and I turned around and came back to the office, so I got a little mini-workout in between stock reports. I'll go to the gym tonight and work on any muscles I can find that aren't still sore from last night, and then hopefully tomorrow it will be nice out and I can play some tennis with Ahren after work. He rocked me at ping pong this weekend, but I'm undefeated against him in REAL tennis. And yes, we have actually played before. I'm 2-0 or 3-0, I think.
Peace.
