GYMMOLOGY

OK… it is official. I am obsessed with the gym. Joined the gym last month, it is responsible for driving away my morning blues as well as those stubborn kilos! As I work out in the cardio section everyday, I think about a lot of things. Things which make me look into the deeper meaning of life. It is but of course natural to introspect on life when you are not giving somebody else discourses about how to handle theirs. The little voice in the head starts jabbering away, while you keep your big mouth shut. And while I was at this introspection I started equating life’s secrets or its philosophies to the various equipments in the gym…
Who would have ever thought that the treadmill could teach you a lesson? I say it does! It teaches you so much about stagnancy. The belt of the treadmill indicates the pace of life. And the person walking on it represents a human being on a stagnant and stationary spot in his/her life. The scenario suggests some form of wanting or longing which is not being accomplished for the simple fact that life is stagnant at that point. There is also a positive lesson to be learnt. That if you increase the speed of that conveyor belt, life is exhilarating! And you will have no time to breathe!!!
Ever thought about what a stationary cycle can mean? Here is a thought. A cycle is a clichéd symbol of life, bad and good happen at every revolution. I view it something like this- one leg goes up and another leg goes down, thus portraying the proverb- every cloud has a silver lining.
And lastly the cross trainer. Here one leg and one hand go in front and the other leg and hand go back. Something like the times, sometimes good sometimes bad. But the important thing here is, when one hand goes back it has to come in front, there cant be bad times always or seeing it the other way there cant always be good times.
The gym is a place one can learn a lot from… for instance, if you need to lose that flab or be fit you have got to sweat it out. Same with life, If there is a goal to achieve you have got to give it your blood and sweat… signing off for now… and yeah KEEP GYMMING!!!!
