The 27 Rules of Conquering the Gym (WSJ)

[petronius]

1. A gym is not designed to make you feel instantly better about yourself. If a gym wanted to make you feel instantly better about yourself, it would be a bar.

4. No one in the history of gyms has ever lost a pound while reading "The New Yorker" and slowly pedaling a recumbent bicycle. No one.

12. Nope, that's not a "recovery energy bar with antioxidant dark chocolate." That's a chocolate bar.

18. Be cautious about any class with the words "sunrise," "hell," or "Moby."

8. Re:The 27 Rules of Conquering the Gym...

Sorry, I'm not agree with you because gym is a place where we can maintain our body figure and loss over weights. It provide a place to meet with other and get advises for good health...
