I’m not usually a fan of ranting, but sometimes it just feels good to get stuff off your chest (right, Jenna Jameson?). With the New Year comes everyone’s New Year’s resolutions, the majority of which have something to do with eating better, losing weight, being healthier, exercising/working out more, not being such a whore, etc.

The result from this is a packed gym with people taking these New Year resolutions seriously. Maybe you got some new workout clothes, a cool gym bag, custom fit running shoes for Christmas… you at least look the part. And every gym has some kind of deal to capitalize on people thinking that this is actually going to be the year! Well, news flash, it isn’t.

So, I’m forced to deal with four-to-six weeks of a bunch of gym-going newbies, as they monopolize the cardio machines and take five minutes just to figure out how to work the simple leg curl weight station. Luckily one of my New Year’s resolutions is patience, otherwise I would have started choking people out with resistance bands. Only a couple more weeks and I can go back to my normal routine, with the gym regulars who know how things work and you have that unspoken bond with.

Ok, now I feel much better. Time to go workout!
