Four reasons to go to the gym

I know you know that going to the gym has many benefits. It's good for your health, revivifies your mind and keeps you motivated. And just like passing by the bar after work, you tend to meet like-minded people and make new acquaintances.

We all know that exercise allows for oxygen and nutrients to be distributed to every part of your body and helps your heart and lungs to become stronger, healthier and more efficient. And when your heart and lung health improve, you have more energy to tackle daily chores.

And yet, with all that knowledge, most of us would rather go spend a fortune drinking beer or watching endless television or Netflix. We’d rather throw on our sweat pants, sit in recliner and indulge in social media nonsense.

You know why? Because we are people. We would rather do something enjoyable, like drink alcohol or watch TV than endure the pain of exercise.

So forget the fickle reasons above. Here are the four genuine reasons to hit to gym.

1. You get to get a good lesson in humility.

At the gym, you will realize you aren’t as strong as you thought you thought were. You meet men with such ripped muscles that you will be terrified of them. You will try the different dumbbells for the right weight until you realize that the ones that suit you are being use by the thin hot girl in the corner.

2. You can relearn how to be a manly man.

Most guys that hit the gym regularly are manly men. They have the right postures that elicit respect from women, and they have the trendiest moustaches. You hit the gym a few times and you realize what a sissy you have been all along. And you probably pick up a better way to wear your otherwise funny beard.

3. You get to tell people that you are going to the gym.

Truth is, going to the gym is cool, You know it as much as everyone does. When you hit the gym even just for one day, you earn the right to stick your tongue at your friends and tell them you gym.

4. You get to see super-hot girls in the aerobics session.

The hottest girls go to gym because, you know, there is a reason they are that hot. And almost all of them go for aerobics. And aerobics is dancing. And nothing is sexier than a hot girl in gym pants, dancing to fast-paced rumba. And if you are lucky, maybe a sliver of her panty will peep. Glorious.

Some of you won’t take this advice. You would rather hit the Sauna.
