The New Years Resoulutioners Invade

The gym was craziness last night, Monday nights are always very busy, start the week off right. So we wait until about 7 to go. Last night was nuts even at 7 the place was packed with people. Don't get me wrong, I think it is great these people are doing something good by getting into the gym and working out, but some take it a little overboard. I was on the treadmill people watching as a young overweight man sprinted at full speed around the track maybe one and half times before just about keeling over. Start slow, people wondering why they hurt so bad and don't want to go back to the gym in February. You can't go from doing absolutely nothing since last New Years Resolution to killing yourself the first week, anyone would burn out quick. You New Years Resolutioners sorry but you stick out like a swore thumb, regulars know who each other are familiar faces they see week after week, you are not blending in by pushing your body to the limit for short periods and making people think they are going to have to preform mouth to mouth on you before your first 15 minutes is up. I am not trying to be mean but seriously why is January 1st any different then any other time. People that want to get in shape need the drive all year around to stay in shape, it has to be a lifestyle not a new years goal that fades as the year goes on.

ok so thats my rant on that.... I am glad to see that people are getting out there and getting into shape I just wish some would go about it differently and stick to it. Not invade the gym like chickens with their heads cut off.
