notelaine's Journal, 18 Aug 15

I had an amusing morning. On weekdays, I go to the gym at 5 am. The classes are 30 minutes, high-intensity weight training w/ cardio. Long story short, they kick my butt. But I've been doing them for several months now, and have seen huge increases in my strength and endurance.

The class is full of all body types, some very thin, some larger, and everywhere in between. It's mostly women. But even those of us with extra padding hiding our muscles do great. The hardest working/strongest woman in our class is at least 20 lbs heavier than me. That woman is incredible.

Anyways, we had a new, insanely cocky guy in our class this morning (think he was one of the girl's boyfriends). He had the skinny-fat body type. During the overview of the excersizes we would be doing today, he was rolling his eyes, making scoffing noises and sarcastic comments.

We did our warmups then went into a couple rounds of burpees followed by kettle-bell swings. He ran outside and vomited after the third round. I don't think he'll be back, lol!!

I just found it funny how judgmental some people can be, based on someone's appearance. Just because myself and some members of my class have excess fat, doesn't mean we don't work hard.

Great motivation for the week for me :)

I sometimes do a Wednesday 530 a.m. circuit training class as well... it's roughly 70/30 male to female ratio... it kicks my butt and humbles me EVERY time I go... I understand your "pain"... It amazes me how some people in worse shape than I am do the workout with much more ease than me... DUOH... It is a great motivator for you... Keep "fighting the fight"... =)

The dude sounds like he has some serious personal issues.

Yea, I feel bad for the girl he was with, she looked mortified. And Millermn, I so understand that feeling. When I started in my class, I was taking breaks all the time, struggling through reps when these women who were much larger than me were breezing through them. I've definitely learned that weight doesn't correlate with fitness levels!

Good for you! I'll bet the entire class (with the exception of the girl who brought him) enjoyed his pain a little bit. Who needs smug judgment!?! I was thinking just the other day that when I was younger and effortlessly skinny, I was never as fit and strong as I am now. These days I might be able to survive your class, but I might have found myself sick in the hall back in the old days. :)
