This summer, as I do every summer, I signed up with a local gym. I plan on frequenting the gym five times a week, lifting weights Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and doing cardio on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The question I keep asking myself though is, "Why do I go to the gym?"
I thought up of a list of possible answers, just to see if any of them are valid reasons for why I bother to hit the weights.
1. I care about my health
2. I care about my appearance
3. I think improving my physique will improve my chances of getting laid
4. I want to improve my stamina in the bedroom (assuming I accomplish number 3)
5. I have nothing better to do with my time
Reason one is completely false; I drink alcohol, I smoke cigarettes and if I actually was getting laid, I'd be having promiscuous sex.
Reason two is totally true; I am a shallow jerk who is quick to mock my fat colleagues about their guts which extend so far out, it is questionable as to whether or not they can still see their penises. I want to improve my physical appearance so I can torment even more people, sending them crying to their shrinks (yes, I am going to Hell, no need to remind me).
Reason three is true and false; I THINK by improving my physique I will get laid more often. However, after having slaved away at the gym in the past, I find that the difference in appearance is rather negligible and will not get me more ladies.
Reason four is true; I do want to have more energy when having sex, though as I said before, going to the gym doesn't increase the likelihood of me getting laid.
Reason 5 I am unsure of; perhaps there are more productive or enjoyable things for me to do, but sadly, in my shallow perspective, I fail to see such things as I am too busy checking out the busty woman who just walked by me.
So yes, I shall go to the gym this summer, get stronger and faster, look a little better. Will it make me feel better about myself? Not really, since I prolly won't obtain the type of workout I and every male really want.
What about the rest of you lazy weaklings? Do you go to the gym? Do you feel like you go because you want to, will get something out of it, or just go cuz it is expected of you by society? I invite all people both strong and girlyman to comment.

Keep fit ....
I have a gym membership and I really should go this summer.
basically I just want to get back into shape. I really don't care what others think about me, it's how I think about myself.
Just got a membership to a gym for the first time in my life.
I've only ever worked out during my 7th grade year for PE.
I'm going to the gym because I recently quit smoking and I want to get fit for my girlfriend. She looks much better in a bathing suit than I do and I'd like to impress her.
Plus, guys hit on her all the time, so I need to bulk up a bit so I can kick ass when I need to.
I could probably kick your ass.
I go to the gym because I'm a Personal Trainer and I have to be there to make my moneyz. I actually enjoy working out, it allows me to work off some stress and I feel great afterwards. Plus I've met a lot of cool people, and some really hot chics there.
I almost never go to the gym anymore. I greatly prefer exercising outside (or in my home if doing yoga or strength training).
yes i do.
i love to run and i hit the weightroom to build some lean upper body muscle and stronger core to improve my posture and be a faster runner.
Wow! some people actually go to the gym to work out. But I think we are hunting for a mate or someone to hook up with!!!
I was going to get a gym membership at Bally's I walk in with my classmate. I was wearing my hijjab ( the head gear most muslim woman wear) and the ladies at the front didn't want to help me and my friends... because in there mind... we wear trying to steal there eye candy.

I'm quite confident you can kick my @$$, no argument there. @Zombies_Ate_My_Neighbors@xanga -
@ItsMLtime - Yeah, I could kick your ass, too. Without the dollar signs.
Don't let those b*tches at Bally's discourage you from going to the gym. My recommendation to you is to get into kickboxing and imagine their faces every time you pound that punching bag. @SimplyWicked4U@xanga -
I work out at home, don't want to pay the exorbitant prices for gym use.
I go to my climbing gym every chance I get (almost daily) and climb for about 4hrs or until they kick me out to close shop. I love to rock climb and I work out to make myself a stronger climber. The trimmed body and muscles are just an added bonus ;)
I don't go to the gym, why would I pay for something that I could do at home? Personal reasons I suppose. I would like to build some arms so I can lift heavier things and dance better
the added bonus would be attention from girls hehe
Glad you enjoyed my silly rant. @Shelby_Stone@xanga -
i go to the gym because i want to actually LIKE my body
Hmm- maybe I should hit one.
