THE GYM

Now when you go to the gym, the term talent is redefined and I’m sure Piers, Brenda and Simon would have a hard time trying to judge each gymer’s performance. When we say someone is talented or gifted, it means something totally different.

When I think about it, it somewhat reminds me of the famous statement about GREATNESS. Some people are born with the talent, others have the talent bestowed upon them and yet others are just the talent itself.

Take some time in one of your training sessions and check out the grinning action. You just have to be born with this one. It gets better with a frown and closed eyes with each rep. Take a second and think about this picture – an old lady, looking at the sun and munching on a lemon, the resemblance is just too great.

Research says that on average, a woman will utter 25000 words a day. That’s a natural gift. At times it seems as though for some ladies, they use up half that number in the gym. Well, I guess the gym does provide the environment to display such talent.

Then we have those gymers who’ve had talent cast upon them. Well, if you train hard and smart, you have more chances of acquiring the talent. A wise saying goes like this, “you reap what you sow”. If you expend the greater part of your training sessions working out according to the guidelines for your fitness results, you will surely get that toned body, muscled up figure or simply get fitter (run faster, do more reps and feel great).

On the contrary, we do have some peeps who when receiving a compliment about their fitness results, start exaggerating their posture. Ever seen the Inflated chest walk, or the Ox-horn arms walk. Practice makes perfect, workout a little more with the weights and you will see that it will come more natural than you are doing it now. You will be able to show off some real talent. You may even be voted for the final…

Then we talk about THE TALENT, the typical or ultimate fitness goddess who walks into the gym and everyone in the gym goes into Static Exercise mode to check out this TALENT. Even those doing bench press or squats take a second to stare. She is the quintessence of talent, the epitome of what the bulk of most lady gymers can only dream of.

HE is the kinda guy who when he does his bicep curls makes all the other guys wanna quit gym. For others, He makes them want to change work stations and gym somewhere else. For the female species of course, they flock to the weights section to do their bent over rows just for that period when he is doing his workout.

So as you can see, its all about the talent and the term talent is redefined in the gym. People come to the gym to either flaunt their talent, or to acquire the talent.
