gym-DOH-re

I've recently signed up for a membership at 24 Hour Fitness. Hoping that doing cardio a bit more regularly will help destress me. We'll see. I'm not very fond of the whole gym concept because the moment I walk through the doors I become twice as self conscious as I am in a non gym environment...which is to say VERY VERY self conscious.

Trying to think myself out of the feeling, but gyms bring out the awkward and scared teenager I used to be. I tried to get over it a few years back, but even after more than a year as a regular, Scared Boy would jump to the surface during the initial walk through the door. He'd leave after about 10 minutes on the treadmill, but I don't really like having him around.

Need to do it though. Better for me to face Scared Boy now and again than to have G dealing with Cranky Man every day after work.

I would have to agree that they gym can be scary but not as scary as me stressed out. Not a pretty sight. I just plug into the iPod, crank up the Britney Spears and tune out the muscle heads. That said, I go to the gym at MIT so muscle heads are pretty rare. They are there but not as many of them. just weird, creepy Physics types...
