The CoRec

I go frequently to the Co Rec, depending on my week load. Until this assignment was given I had never really payed attention to the types of people there. I had always noticed but never really thought about it. But as many would say, the guys are on the left side where all the weights are, and the girls are on the right side where all the cardio machines are. This seems to be, because guys want to get buff and show off how much they can way. And well, for a girl, you don't really want to be as buff, but still be in shape or shed a few pounds. During one visit to the CoRec I did notice that a few girls were lifting weights and these were really buff manly girls, just girls wanting to stay toned and that had obviously lifted before. But the guys were all staring them down, maybe some liked that they could lift, others might have been wondering "what in the world are you doing here." Many times I have seen guys doing cardio workouts. They aren't usually the most buff, but still in shape. I know from playing soccer, that many guys will run on treadmills or elliptical machines. It all depends on what you are trying to improve for yourself. I have never been over to lift weights, but from what I have seen most seem to know what they are doing. And yes of course, at the same time they are probably trying to show off. Most of these guys walk around with their chest pushed out, trying to appear tough. I spend most of my time on the cardio machines, and I've noticed that the majority of people around are usually in shape and appear to have done this o ften. But every now and then there are few people that aren't in such good shape. I don't really feel like people stare at them, but I could certainly see how someone might feel that way.
