We don’t know who’s more confused, this woman trying to figure out this machine or us trying to figure out what she’s doing. She clearly has no idea what she’s doing, and what’s worse, we’re not sure anybody even helped her! Unfortunately, this is a common thing in big gyms.
People are often misusing the machines and none of the staff coming to correct mistakes. But seriously, what part of her body did this woman actually think she was exercising?! Aren’t those handles she’s holding stationary? And what’s going on with the handles she’s doing the splits on? So confusing.
Neck Accident in the Making
Was this man trying to do some new sort of neck workout that we don't know about? Or maybe he just had enough for the day and decided to chill out, right there on the machine. This is yet another clear example of huge gym conglomerates that don't pay attention to their members.
Sure, it’s easier than actually practicing good posture. But therein lies the problem: everyone wants a quick fix that only takes a few sessions at the gym instead of always paying attention to your posture. We hope someone told him he was doing this all wrong before he attempted to lift that amount of weight with his neck.
That's the Spirit
Working out on its own is good for you, but pairing your workout with an ice cream cone is even better. It might not be advisable to have a dessert while you work up a sweat, but we sure like her idea. Does it defeat the purpose of exercising? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely.
While it might seem counter-productive to nosh on some gelato while at the gym, we honestly can't think of a better way to cool down during a sweat sesh. Maybe we should try this and see if it helps us to stick to a routine or at the very least, it will make our fellow gym-goers jealous.
Catching Up With World Events
This woman decided to multitask while working out at the gym, and we're loving it. Who said you can't get your fix of the daily news while working out? And hey, it's a much better way to spend your in-between-workout breaks than sipping cucumber water and talking about your new training pants.
We just hope that she's actually reading the newspaper while taking a break from exercising, and not just occupying that machine so she can sit down comfortably while she reads! Otherwise, she could be hogging gym equipment which is one of the worst things you can do at the gym!
No One Will Ever Tell Her She's Misusing the Machine
Just like the stereotypical cliques at every high school, there are certain kinds of people you can expect at every gym. While we're sure that most people at the gym will be thrilled at the way this woman is using that machine, she could tear a ligament or get seriously injured.
Or maybe she's discovered a new, creative way to exercise? She certainly doesn't look like she has problems with staying in good shape so maybe she knows something we don't. Regardless, we doubt anyone will ever tell her she's using the machine wrong. At least not straight away.
