Watching Fit Singles
It looks like a diet of beer and pizza doesn't actually meet the requirements set by Dr. Atkins. Yes, with warm weather sweeping over every city in North America, people are doffing clothes and showing off their fit (or not so fit) bodies. It's not that I'm hopelessly out of shape - I'm still capable of running up a flight of stairs, but it looks like those American Apparel shirts are going to have to sit around for a few weeks while I make a stab at exercising regularly. Fit singles have got it pretty easy - thanks to a daily regimen of actually treating their bodies right, they can enjoy the fruits of their labour while flirting at health food stores and fitness dating sites.
For those of us who are confined to desk jobs rather than some active job (construction, bike messenger, rendering plant) it takes a little extra effort to get fit for summer. Not only does it require some gumption to hit the gym at least twice a week (which just smacks of extra work), better diets are also required to help cut down on those pounds. Getting a great body is far from impossible, but when one gets through an already long day of work, going to the gym can be an awful chore--not that that should stop anybody from trying.
Gyms are not only an exhilarating way to drop those pounds, but the meat market aspects of fitness centers almost goes without saying. There's something about the close proximity of sweaty bodies working out that frequently pumps the pheromones through the roof. I would try to avoid the fate of the people that values the meat market aspect over the actual physical fitness that's supposed to take place - nobody wants to be the sweaty guy who spends his time ogling fit girls, time that could be spent doing a couple of chin ups or a half-hour at the treadmill.
Being in great shape is always a welcome addition to any hot personals ad. It's just a question of willpower and some extra hours spent at the gym rather than in front of a TV.
