Generation Challenge at The Gym
The young guy was working his ass off
I readied myself to go to the inadequate basement gym in the building where my condo is situated. It was the first thing I did in the morning!
I always try to get my workout in before 6:00 am. Often I’m the only person there at that early hour. I prefer to work my routine that way.
Because of the size of the gym as compared to the number of condo owners there’s often a fight over use of the few cardio machines available in the small subterranean facility.
I usually get my pick of the equipment because everyone else is still in bed that early in the day..
Today I was surprised to find a long legged young man running on the only treadmill in the room.
Although running on the treadmill was part of my workout, I also use the gym’s single elliptical, recumbent bike and rowing machine. If one of those happens to be in use, I simply use another exercise machine. I don’t have any particular order in which I exercise. As long as I get my 20 minutes or so on each, I’m happy. The fitness center has signs all over admonishing members to use each piece of equipment for a half hour max.
Because this one guy and I were the only people in the room I tried to strike up a conversation with him.
