Dear world,

I FINALLY STARTED GYM SESSIONS
athlete-biceps-body-38630.jpg
It is with a proud heart of satisfaction and accomplishment that I write this to letter to announce my commencement of gym sessions, after ages and ages of promises to my blessed self.

Err...... thanks for the compliments but, that's not me its a free pic from pexels .com

It wasnt my first tym in the gym, so I felt pretty comfortable with all the heavy dangerous looking metals and gadgets, maybe "pretty" is asking for cutting it too wide, maybe I should have used "slightly".

The last time I was here, we started with one bicycle-like stuff like that, I mastered it already, up then down, right then left, push here, push there...... Next it was bench press......Not sure that's what it called but I laid on a sophisticated version of a traditional bench with two vertical poles sticking out, then a heavy weight lrested on it, long and short, I pushed 100 of that, no exaggerations, next we just played around with dumbells.

This time however, he started me on a trreadmill, I'll ignore the story of how /i acted like /i knew how to rock it and ended up racing at the handles, I'll just skip to where the treadmill started talking

What the TREADMILL told Me

after about a minute of being showed the proper way to dance on that piggy, I got pretty comfotable and walked like a pro, then I was calm for a bit and the treadmill started a convo. Iy said

Do you realize this is all of life

I was like yeah, its life at its top, During other peoples work hour I can decide to come walk the tredmill, It's so much fun to be your own boss or something in that general direction

the treadmill was like no arrogant monkey, I'm talking about me, you, this action, theentire proces..... It describes life in full, **we have always heard that life keeps on moving, regarless what, but we have never heard what direction it moves in....... there it is, my walking belt........backwards

Life keeps moving backwards, but it can and does move at different speeds for different people.

From the point of birth, thats the point of mouting the machine) we struggle to move forward, that moving forward isnt really moving farward, it is just "stepping" so as not to be taken back with life

Those that dont step in sync with life the don't balance, the have to be struggling to stand

While does who just stay without stepping just get taken with life, they are driven into the past into history, i think it might have something on the saying that "someone is old school, archaic, atavistic"

Those steppings are the moves we make in life, schooking and all of that is just stepping to stay relevant, to stay on top of life

I left the treadmill with pumped up determination

Most of it deflated after sparring with the punching bag though


And just incase you were looking for an excuse not to get on a treadmill again.....[clik hia](https://i.imgur.com/J4Wn8L7.mp4 )
