Welcome to the Gym: A Comedy of Errors

So, you've decided to embark on a fitness journey. Congratulations, or should I say, my condolences? The gym is a jungle, and not everyone is Tarzan. Here’s some advice on what not to do, unless you’re auditioning for a comedy show.

First things first, gym attire. Please wear clothes that scream "I just rolled out of bed." Nothing says dedication quite like old pajamas or an oversized T-shirt from the 2005 family reunion. Comfort over everything, right?

The Art of Equipment Hogging

If you're aiming for gym popularity, make sure to occupy multiple machines at once. Leave your towel draped over one, your water bottle on another, and casually stroll between them. Who needs to share when you can multitask?

Also, remember to spend as much time as possible scrolling through your phone. Those cat videos won’t watch themselves. Gym time is the perfect opportunity to catch up on memes.

Mastering the Wrong Form

Why follow correct form when you can invent your own? Bend, twist, and contort your body in ways that defy physics. It's like yoga, but with weights. Bonus points if you can convince others to join in your new "technique."

Don't worry about asking for help or guidance. Confidence is key, and who needs personal trainers when you've got your trusty ego?

Social Hour: Gym Edition

The gym is a wonderful place to catch up with friends. Make sure to have loud, animated conversations, preferably near the weights so everyone can enjoy your riveting tales. If people are trying to focus, just consider it a bonus audience.

And remember, headphones are for amateurs. Play your music out loud for everyone to enjoy. Who doesn't love a surprise DJ set during their workout?

Post-Workout: The Perfect Time for a Snack

After all that hard work, it's important to refuel. Bring out the snacks, preferably something with a strong aroma. Tuna sandwiches or garlic bread are excellent choices to share your dedication to nutrition with the entire gym.
