Someone finally made me go to the Co Rec

After weeks of telling myself that I was going to be healthy and in shape this semester, I finally found the one thing that got me there: a grade. Upon entering, I saw mostly the same thing that everyone else has noticed. The gym was fairly polarized, as I expected. Another thing I noticed was that most of the people I saw looked like they belonged there. That is kind of an obvious statement, I suppose, but what I mean is that all of the guys lifting weights looked like they lift weights often. The girls running seemed like they run pretty often. This is generalized, of course, and there were exceptions, but overall I believe that a big factor in who goes to the Co Rec is how people feel about themselves. A small, scrawny guy who really needs to lift weights will probably not go, whereas a huge guy who can easily afford to lose a day of weightlifting will be much more willing to go. It almost defeats the purpose of having a weight room, because people who could use a good workout will probably be too embarassed to go. The interesting thing is that its pretty much all in their head. I don't really think that all of the other people are going to look over at the small guy and make fun of him, either outwardly or even in their head. In my experience, most things that seem embarassing to someone are only so to that person. Anyway, I think that is the most important thing I noticed.
PS. I didn't end up working out when I went.
