Co-rec

Every time that I have been to the co-rec I have noticed the attendance between the girls and guys is different. There seems to be more guys then girls working out. Even the times I have gone swimming there have been a drastic amount of more guys then girls. It seems to be down in the work out room the girls favor the cardio equipment and the guys favor to lift weights. However, it’s not unnatural to see a guy using the cardio machines. It is odd to see a girl lifting weights though. There is not anything wrong with it. It just does not happen very often and I think the guys get shocked when they see a girl doing so.
I have also noticed while being in the co-rec that people are no very social. Every one seems to be in there own little world and oblivious to the others around them. However, I have found many times guys trying to “show off” for the other girls that are in the gym when they are lifting weights. I find it humorous to how people get so into working out, that they are in like a “zone”. It seems to me that girls go to the gym to keep from getting fat while as guys go to the gym to get big and buff. It is just so interesting how the female view and male views are so different. There is not anything wrong with a woman wanting to lift weights, and the guys should not look down upon that
