Retards in leotards (Part Deux)

On further observation, there are more types of people you find in the gym.

6. The Cassanova
As the title implies, this male gymmie is never short of female company in the gym. The most impressive thing about him is that he does not even have to be good-looking. All he needs to do is to provide the female gymmies some form of entertainment, like encouraging them to not give up on losing weight or just goofin' around with them and there, the self-made Cassanova. It's impossible to miss him because he will be surrounded by females.

7. The Newbie
Everyone is a newbie at some point. But they are most obvious in a class. They fumble with the steps, they are a set behind everyone else, and their movement is good for swatting flies. I shall not put these people down because I was once a newbie.

The smelly sweaty part aside. The shower room is another place where a lot of activity take place. I might have mentioned this before but I seriously cannot comprehend why women will bother to put on make-up on their face before heading out for the work out. Hmm...maybe because they are the poseurs (See 1(i) in Retards in leotards). But even when they are not poseurs who need to pose, some of these lasses still go around working on the machines with that layer of powder & paint on their faces. I think they need someone to tell them how gross it is to mix sweat & make-up or better still, tell them how much germs they are trapping on their skin with that potent mix.

That's why I say - drink water, exercise more. Skin will glow naturally. No need to rely on powder & paint for that magical touch. Keep on running, baby!

hey new skin!

on the topic of make up in the gym. i've also always wondered why people wear mascara when they go swimming? :p I mean are they really so hideous they cannot face the world without foundation and eyeliner?
